Erick Platten

I called Mr Platten the day I got released from my DWI arrest. He had a big story good selling points, told me it would be 8,000 to represent me in the upcoming license hearing with the dmv and dwi in court. I paid him in full that day. What followed was a suspended license that he didn't even kn...ow about, as he never filed for the ALR appeal, then argued with me that my license was still intact. " just an automated system".. turns out I drove around for 6 months with a suspended license. Then got it reinstated myself. When court came for the dwi, I believe it was the first time he ever reviewed my case... once he actually showed up to court. I along with his other clients were the last ones to handle our cases due to him showing up extremely late. Then he plead me out to the same thing I could have gotten without an attorney. When I asked why my license showed suspended for refusal, he said " they had to get a warrant"... they didn't get a warrant. He literally showed up, told me to accept the da's first offer and wrote me off. When we discussed the plea I told him I worked offshore and would need to be able to travel. After my probation order came out and it said I wasn't allowed to, he told me " should have said something sooner". I feel like I had a carney instead of an attorney. They guy is a clown and I wouldn't get him to handle a speeding ticket for me. I wish I could give him a negative 10 stars.

I requested help with a felony charge of possession fentanyl. Mr Platten said I would not go to jail. I didn’t. He said he would take me to see the evidence and review it with me. He didn’t. I needed my conditions changed so I could go to work in Uvalde, TX. I sent multiple emails and texts and ...was assured he would take care of it. He didn’t. I would have lost my job but I went to Judge Skeen on my own, right down to the last possible hour. Drove 7 hours to do it. It was easy. I SAVED MY JOB. I have never seen the evidence and never done any drugs (just alcohol) in my entire life and was put in a position to plea to the charge to avoid going to jail for something I didn’t do. Much more I could say but my life and reputation are destroyed. A long history of unmatched patient care tainted. Unbelievable

He represented me through a case where I was facing a felony. I was looking at up to 10 years in prison. He successfully argued that I was illegally arrested and I served no prison time. Because he did a great job on my other case, I contacted him about an incident where a negligent driver hit me ...as I was pulling into my driveway. I just happened to text his personal number since he gave it to me through my last case. He was able to consult me on what to do next and will be representing me through this as well. He has a great talent for building relationships with clients and will treat you so well where you’ll always use him in any legal representation you need in the future. He is always just a call or text away and is very open to you contacting him directly through his personal number. You feel very taken care of working with him.

We hired Erick to defend my husband on an aggravated assault on a public servant charge. We were clueless on what to do and where to start! Erick held our hand every step of the way and always assured us with honesty on what to expect next. He was always very quick with responding to our questions an...d he was always available, even on weekends and holidays! In the end he got my husband’s case completely dismissed! It was a huge relief!! We highly recommend him!!

I went to Mr. Platten for his criminal defense services for a terrible misunderstanding that had lead me to be charged with assault at 22 years old. I was going to school and working full time and I never had been in “trouble” like this before, so I was stressing over finding an attorney that not onl...y I could trust to take on my case, but to help protect my future. I don’t think I could have found a better person to fit the job! I instantly knew I was in good hands just with the convenience they offered me with even the simple things like overall scheduling and payments. It was beyond relieving to know that someone else was taking my case as seriously as I was! I wouldn’t have taken anything less than the justice of my case being dismissed and Mr. Platten would not either by doing everything in his power to fight until the very end! My case was dismissed and couldn’t be more greatful for the overall experience! I highly recommend his services and I wouldn’t think twice about working with him again if I ever find myself needing legal assistance again in the future.
