expert legal help when your child is injured or arrested.
Plata Schott Law was founded in 2014 by attorneys Belkis Plata and Shannon Schott—two relentless advocates committed to representing clients in Florida’s most complex and emotional legal cases. With decades of combined experience, they built a practice rooted in integrity, advocacy, and action.
Both Belkis and Shannon are Board-Certified Specialists in Juvenile Law, a rare distinction earned by less than 1% of Florida attorneys. Plata Schott Law is the only private law firm in Jacksonville led by two Florida Bar Board-Certified Specialists in Juvenile Law. This certification reflects their deep expertise and proven results in cases involving children—whether defending them in criminal court or pursuing compensation after they’ve been harmed or killed due to negligence.
At Plata Schott Law, we handle wrongful death, catastrophic personal injury, and criminal defense of children cases with a level of dedication that sets us apart. Our attorneys are hands-on, trial-tested, and committed to every client’s future—not just their file.
We understand what’s at stake. When a child is hurt or a loved one is lost, there’s no room for shortcuts. From the moment you contact us, you will speak directly with an attorney—not a call center, not an assistant. We take the time to listen, investigate, and build a customized strategy that’s designed to win.
Choosing Plata Schott Law means choosing a team that will fight for you with expertise, passion, and integrity. Whether your child has been injured or arrested, Belkis Plata and Shannon Schott are here to provide the legal help you need during these challenging times.
