I hired Erick to handle my DWI case; I will say that the outcome was better than it could have been, and better than I thought it would be. It was a multiple situation so the outcome was very iffy, and could have gone bad quickly. Erick handled my case as expected with a verdict that was a relief to... say the least. The judicial system, at least for Smith County, is very busy and very abrupt with their sentencing timelines. My only advice is that you must be your own advocate and be diligent in the your own process, regardless of your representing attorney. The system is an ugly system, you must have good representation that can fight if things get ugly......I know Erick was there 100% to handle that.

Our son, a new driver, was issued a speeding ticket and hefty fine. Erick worked incredibly fast to resolve this citation and was able to work with the court to reach a positive outcome for our son. Mr. Platten and his office staff took such great care of our son. If you want an attorney with integri...ty that will help you or your loved ones get the best outcome possible, don't hesitate another second...give his office a call.

A the time he wasn't my lawyer, he just happen to be sitting next to me in court and saw I needed some help and he rendered aide until I was finished. At the end I needed some other papers filed and I was unfamiliar with these papers. I got a couple of days continuance, he knew I wasn't familiar with... the paperwork so he gave me his card and told me to call him and his office. I got him what he needed and he got the papers filed for me before the time that the Judge requested it. If he had not been there at that time I don't know what I would have done. It started as a consult in the court room and ended with me hiring him. I will definitely use his services again and refer him. Thank for a job well done.
