Posted by Chris | January 08, 2015 | Child Custody

Rachel Platt, a single dad's most important asset.

Rachel Platt and her amazing team have represented me in legal actions to include child custody, child support issues, issues with my ex-wife, contempt actions, and arrest orders. As a result of those actions I have full custody of my children, child support awarded, and peace of mind. Rachel is a... brilliant attorney with never ending work ethic. She made my children her top priority and has kept them safe. She has always been there for me answering question after question, for hours on end. She seems tireless in her work and professionalism. I boldly recommend Rachel Platt and her team for any family law issue. There is no one else I will trust or use. Rachel is still on speed dial on my phone, and she always will be. Thank you Platt Family Law.

AMAZING attorney!!

I couldn't ask for a better attorney. Rachel did wonders for my two contentious child custody cases. She always responded to emails or phone calls within one day, most of the time she responded immediately. She put her heart in to everything. She was very passionate, and she was AMAZING in the co...urtroom. Today, I have full custody of both my children. I'm glad I had Rachel on my side, I couldn't imagine anyone else representing me as well as she did. I can't say thank you enough.

Could have done better

She represented me in my divorce. Didn't do a great job with ensuring I got a fair share of the marital assets. Seemed more interested in wrapping things up quickly than in doing right by her client. I learned later that I could have received much more in the split.

We are sorry that you were less than satisfied with our law firm. We strive to create the best possible experience for our clients, which includes answering text messages, emails, and phone calls received both during and after office hours. Our clients know we have an open-door policy and that includes having access to discuss any and all issues. We have always encouraged our clients to contact our law firm for any issue that needs to be addressed, and we encourage you to do the same. Every case is very different and unique, and there is no "right way" to split assets. We look forward to hearing from you.

The worst

She totally blew my case. Cost me a lot of money. As they say, she "phoned it in". Stay away.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
