Mr. Platten worked with me in a situation where I needed advice involving criminal defense and representation is a domestic property dispute. I found him to be very knowledgeable and when he was not in court or actively assisting another client, he was available for direct personal conversation with... his personal cell phone even during very late hours. If able, he never hesitated to return my calls quickly. He negotiated and held firm against the other party in the dispute when protecting my interests and it was a huge relief knowing that I had someone on my side. I would definitely recommend Mr. Platten's services again and will use him again in the future if I once again need an attorney.

IN MAY OF 2008 I RECEIVED 2 TICKETS FROM THE TYLER POLICE DEPARTMENT AND USED MR. PLATTEN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SITUATION. HE DID ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED BY GIVING NOTICE TO THE COURT THAT HE WAS RETAINED AS MY ATTORNEY. ON 4/9/ 09 MR PLATTEN FOUND OUT THAT THE CITY COURT DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT WAYS ISS...UED WARRANTS ON ME FOR THESE TICKETS. IN TYLER IT IS NOT UNCOMMON THAT IT TAKE A YEAR TO ADDRESS TICKETS WHEN A LAWYER HAS BEEN HIRED TO ADDRESS THIS. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE WARRANTS MR PLATTEN WENT INTO HIGH GEAR TO GET THE WARRANTS LIFTED. THEY WERE TAKEN CARE OF IN 3 HOURS AND MR. PLATTEN MADE THE CITY WRITE A LETTER THAT THE WARRANTS WERE LIFTED BECAUSE DUE TO THE CITY OF TYLER NOT DOING THERE JOB MY JOB WAS IN JEAPORDY BECAUSE I AM A PAROLE OFFICER AND WE CANNOT HAVE ACTIVE WARRANTS ON US TO KEEP OUR JOB. MR. PLATTEN HAS THE EXPERT KNOWLEGE AND PROFESSIONAL ABALITY TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AND HE CAN DO THE SAME FOR HIS CLIENTS. MR PLATTEN CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR LEGAL NEEDS

I was arrested for DWI after having an accident in my vehicle. The district attorneys refused to offer any sort of reduced sentence in exchange for a plea. The case took a year and half for the judge to allow it to go to trial ( the worst year and half of my life) and finally after a 4 day jury tri...al, I was found not guilty after a 30 minute deliberation. Erick was always helpful and reassuring, and fought through the entire trial to ensure my not guilty verdict. Highly recommended.
