Great service and out come!

I was burned 3 years ago and got my consultation with Mr. Platt and from that point on he was nice and respectful and always gave me update phone calls and answered all the questions I could think of with honest and straight answers. I would recommend him to everyone.

Jack was excellent in my personal injury case which was for my son who was injured. He was always there when we needed him and I believe we got the best settiment we could get.

OUTSTANDING!

I have had to use the services of Jack Platt and Kurt Russell a few times over the years and have had success each time. I recommend my friends who have had legal issues and they have also been happy with their results. Thank you to this team for taking care of me and my family and friends!

I couldn't be happier!

Mr Platt took on my case even though I was told by others it would be impossible. I ran into a lot of obstacles getting the health care I needed, but he helped me thru each one of them. I feel vindicated and received the compensation I deserved PLUS. His determination to fight on my behalf was stell...ar. He also took on my daughters lawsuit due to an auto accident where she was a passenger and got her compensation as well. As a single mom with a mentally-challenged daughter, I can't thank him enough!!

Highly recommended!

I'm so sorry my family needed a lawyer but I am so grateful and appreciative for Jack Platt and his associates Kurt Russell and Billie Jo Hopwood! These people know what they're doing! I felt so comforted by Kurt's confidence in the courtroom and Jack's calming way with us. Our case was handled quick...ly, professionally, and in a manner that made me feel they all really cared about us. Write their number down and if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, call them first!!!!

Jack L Platt's Lawyer Endorsements

Personal injury lawyer | May 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Platt is on a very short list of my favorite attorneys in the area. It has been my pleasure to know him for the past decade and he has never disappointed. He is a good friend, mentor, and (as if it were possible) an even better lawyer. He has the respect of his colleagues, opponents, and the courts, and he has a mild temperament that juries find endearing. I am endorsing Mr. Platt for personal injury because he has already been endorsed for family and criminal defense, and because I have also had the pleasure of being a personal injury client of his in the past. I absolutely endorse this attorney."
