Mr. Platten is highly competent and recommended. My son was facing a felony conviction for probation violation. Mr. Platten brought this case before the lead DA who agreed to send my son to SAFP "without" the felony conviction within a month of us retaining his services. The DA then deferred the c...ase to his Assistant DA. The Asst. DA decided to play hardball and not let my son go to SAFP and stay on probation unless he accepted the felony conviction. Mr. Platten wouldn't have it. He realized immediately that my son had a substance abuse problem and wasn't going to let them send him to SAFP with a felony conviction on his record. He is 20 years old. We were losing faith that a felony conviction was going to be the only way for my son to get out. Mr. Platten could have easily told my son that this is the best deal he is going to get, and moved on. But he didn't. He stayed the course and convinced us to do the same. We did. Literally, the day before my son was to go to court. And, we drive three and half hours to support him. Mr. Platten called and said, "I have good news, the Asst. DA agreed to our terms." Not only was my son going to get the help he needed, he did not even have to go to court to face the Asst. DA or the judge. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Platten for his knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. Do not hesitate to contact him on legal issues. With most sincerity, Jim

Feb 2011 I was Pulled over for a license plate light being out. I unfortunately had an unpaid ticket from 2007 for going 0-10 mph over the speed limit that had gone to warrant. Because I stated that I drank a few beers earlier in the night as well as taken a prescription narcotic and appeared conf...used I was also arrested and charged with DWI. I retained Erick Platten and my charges were reduced to reckless driving and was deferred. Mr. Platten worked with me on a very personal basis and showed concern for every worry I had. I would recommend Erick Platten to anyone as a first choice. He will take care of you, treat your case with importance and give you the best result you could ask for. It is now Jan 2012 and my record is clean and my stress and worries are gone thanks to Platten Law.

my son got into some trouble and we needed a lawyer. we didnt know anything about the process or what we needed. i called mr platten he was very comforting and i left feeling like everything would be ok. my son had serious charges against him but Mr Platten got him deferred sentence, My son also h...ad a divorce and child visitation which was complicated. Mr Platten handled this for us also and was able to get my son regular visitation with his daughter and get all his rights, it was very trying but with Mr Plattens help it is all behind us and we are enjoying visiting with my grandaughter, without Mr Platten I dont think this would have beeen possible

Mr.Platten is a wonderful attorney. I was in a position where i could have been sent to prison for 2 years. I had 5 probation violations and that is not good at all. Mr.Platten kept me informed own everything. He let me no that the case was very serious, but he let me no i was in good hand with him r...epresenting me in this matter. The one thing he didn't do is promise me that i wouldn't go to jail. He said he would do whatever it takes to keep me from going to jail. And thanks to him my probation was not revoked. It was modified so i could continue my probation instead of going to jail.Thank you Mr.Platten for representing me own my case.
