After interviewing several attorneys in Tyler, we hired Mr. Platten because of his experience and record of solving a serious legal charge. His proposed method to us months in advance of the Court hearing, later came to fruition. We were delighted with the outcome. His insight into the criminal ju...stice system is exemplary and his execution of delivering a positive end result was outstanding.

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

Mr. Platten represented my daughter on a DWI charge. I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable in the area of field sobriety testing. We ended up with dismissal of charges due to the stop being classified as a bad stop. I'm truly thankful we found a lawyer that persevered until he achieved the ju...stice we needed. He communicated with us each step of the way. If you need professional law advice or help, Mr. Platten is excellent.
