"He'll fight for who?" As I read all this false reviews it is hilarious to me. I know people who has been with him for YEARS and nothing. Horrible at follow ups, return calls or even status of their claims.
Its sad that someone trust someone with ...well their livelihood and they cant even get EMPATHY.
Tired of the calls and the pop ups? Here's some advise: SHOW UP and FIGHT for you clients like your slogan says, or get a new slogan.."Ill fight for you...when there's nothing on TV.
One thing I can say he is definitely worth the nothing he charges.

My office has been consulting Joseph Pluta's law firm for years now, and he has yet to let us down. From the moment you work with he and his associates, you know you're in great hands. I've always been extremely pleased with their quality of service and dedication to detail as he and his associates go above and beyond, even for the smallest of needs. My recommendation to anyone seeking a WC law specialist is clear, and I do not foresee that changing anytime soon.

Joseph Pluta and his team , especially Sandy, have been very supportive during my time as a client. All my appointments and everything that comes with a work comp case was very smooth. All my questions and concerns were regarded and met with quick resolve. Thank you to the Joseph Pluta law office for your exemplary service during this trying time in my life.

Zero stars! (Yelps makes you select stars, so I had no choice)
I have three words :
WASTE OF TIME. WC case for close to 3 years, and this guy does very little fighting for his client. He continually commented about how "his hands are tied due to Arnold being Governor years ago and how he screwed up the WC process." We fired him. And he dismissed himself from our case. My advice- FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY NOT THIS GUY. Mr. PLUTA, you are right, you should retire ASAP. Your career history in this field impressed us, but really blinded us from your useless arogance. On the other hand, his STAFF
