Curtis M. Plaza

Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I engaged Curtis Plaza at Riker Danzig to handle a complex commercial lease dispute for my small business that was veering toward potential insolvency issues. His background in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights was immediately apparent; he provided a clear, strategic assessment of our position and the potential reorganization pitfalls. His decade of experience and recognition by Best Lawyers in that specific field gave me confidence in his technical competence. The outcome of our matter was ultimately satisfactory and aligned with his initial counsel. However, the experience was marked by occasional delays in responsiveness. There were times when follow-up emails or calls took several days to receive a reply, which added to my stress during a critical period. While his legal analysis was sharp, I sometimes felt the need for more proactive updates on case developments rather than having to inquire. For straightforward legal expertise in Atlanta, NJ, particularly where bankruptcy law intersects with litigation, Mr. Plaza is certainly capable. Just be prepared to manage expectations around communication timelines and to be somewhat persistent in seeking updates.
