Washington DC Divorce Attorney
When you are fighting for the most important people in your life, you need a formidable ally. I have had three previous “high-powered” attorneys and interviewed many, many others, and none of them come close to Geoff. Not only is he a shrewd attorney, a deft strategist, and aggressive in the court room, but he is an amazing human being. He cares about his clients. You are not just “another case” for him in our very broken family court system. You are an important person and the outcome of your case matters to him personally, something you will not find often. I have a very long road ahead in my battle, and knowing that I have Geoff there to fight for me gives me incredible peace of mind.

Mr. Platnick is the attorney/counselor I was indeed blessed to have contending for my child’s best interest recently. He is consistently attentive, empathetic, experienced, detailed, conciliatory, sympathetic, solicitous, shrewd, strategic, strength imparting. In a ludicrously over-populated profession, Geoff Platnick is a rare gentleman and a darn good attorney. His recognition to greater responsibility and certain success is assured; I am glad to add my honest endorsement to that process.

I interviewed several top lawyers for my difficult divorce. Geoff came highly recommended from multiple sources, and I realized why soon after he took my case. Geoff exhibited expert knowledge, had impeccable courtroom presence and took excellent care of me throughout my divorce process. In addition, he truly cares about his clients and works diligently to ensure they receive a great outcome, which I certainly did. I could not have asked for better representation.

I highly recommend Geoff. He and his all-star team assisted me through a difficult and contentious divorce and child custody case. In Court, Geoff’s knowledge and personal relationships really assisted in the positive outcome of my case. Geoff was very efficient with his involvement throughout the case to keep costs reasonable and was helpful in directing me to gather documents and information for effective pleadings and strong strategies in Court. Geoff and his team really went to bat for me, and were prepared and effective in Court. I am very grateful for his services.

Geoff Platnick as one of the finest Family Law attorneys that I have worked with. I admire all aspects of his approach to a case. Geoff is thorough in every aspect of his case preparation. He ensures that his client is ready to be deposed and to face cross examination, and he discusses his questioning of others with his client and experts. Geoff knows how to disagree without being disagreeable and is ready to take on any sort of opposition. He is a go to guy on high profile cases or any case.

Geoff has seen plenty of situations and how they play out. Geoff has an expert understanding of the process. Geoff does a great job of communication and letting you know what’s going on by including you in his plans and actions. At the end of the day, every one of our decisions was client inclusive. He can be very aggressive in his strategy, while with the same breath, he can be pragmatic, asking you how you are doing.

I am a individual with very high standards and always looking for the best in everything .When I decided to start the divorce process. I interviewed many lawyers. I decided to hire him. Because, I did not get the feeling that I am only another client to him. He listened to me and my expectation during this process, like no other lawyer have. But what I found even more fascinating was, the level of compassion he had. If you are going through this process you know, you are sad, angry, tearful, emotional, and at times unreasonable. He was supportive through every single step of the way. MY children are my world I asked him to get my kids and he got me the best custody deal ever. I can owe him for the rest of my life . Bottom line, If you are going through this nasty process, then you need a lawyer who is very knowledgeable, firm, very good in what he does and more importantly, someone who sees you as a person and actually wants to help you , rather than just see you as another r client to generate money to pay bills. He is your man. I have recommended him to many friends and every body has said the same thing about him.

I hired Geoff in my divorce and he has used his knowledge of the local system to strategically take my case through the necessary steps to get me custody of my daughter and help maintain my family business. He has a keen memory for the facts, can prioritize what is most important and understands how each of the local judges are all very different. His ability to navigate the law and the facts, as well as think on his feet, has been invaluable to my case.

I could not have found a better attorney than Geoff Platnick to guide me through the painful and confusing process of my divorce. I also could not have asked for a more successful outcome with my case. Geoff handled every step with both professionalism and sensitivity. He not only provided strategic thinking and sound legal advice, but he also lent a sympathetic ear when I needed it. And somewhere along the way, he became a friend. I will always be grateful for all of Geoff’s hard work.

My divorce was a long, difficult, contentious mess. Geoff guided me through the whole process, though, answering every question and tirelessly advocating for me. There were so many twists and turns, but Geoff knew how to handle every situation. His strategic thinking and compassion were the keys to the success of my case. But he was more than just my attorney. Somewhere along the way, Geoff became a friend. He was always genuinely concerned for me on a personal level and took the time, aside from discussing my case, to just listen and help me cope with everything. I couldn’t have found a better person to help get me through the last two years.
