Mr. Platten helped me with my DWI. If this went on my record I could have possibly lost my job. It was very embarrasing and it was very hard on me. I read a review on here and then spoke to him. He did a good job getting my case taken care of. The DWI was reduce to another charge and and got the... results I had hoped for. He is very knowledgable and is a very nice guy. I would reccomend him again. Thank You

Summer 2013, I was driving North on Highway 155 heading home. I had just left the lake towing my boat. I was arrested for DWI taken to jail with no shirt on my back literally. Things are looking very grim for me. Erick Platten saved the day and my future, he advised me to sit tight not to worry he wo...uld make this whole thing go away. Some how Mr. Platten was able to make the DWI not even get filed into the system. I never heard another thing about it Wow!

If criminal charges were filed against you in Smith County and you not guilty, my deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Just imagine the " Justice System" in all its beauty coming at you as a train. If you don't get a powerful defense in timely manner on your side, your life could be d...estroyed. After extensive research for a good lawyer, based on the reviews in this website I decided to hire Erick Platten. It's difficult to compare two different lawyers because it's impossible to apply them both in same criminal case and see the result. But, I can share what Mr. Platten has done for me. I have seen Erick in action: jury selection, witness cross examinations, raising objections to the prosecution during the trial and so much more were the areas where he had an expertise. He fought hard for me. After long battle which lasted almost for two years my assault case was dismissed. I would recommend Erick Platten for complex and serious criminal cases as an attorney.

I hired Mr. Platten for a DWI. I was arrested in Hunt County and thought about hiring an attorney in that area but Eric was highly recommended. Eric found problems with my case and they wanted me to plea guilty but Eric said no way. Eric said there was a problem with my blood test. It took three d...ays to fight the case but I was found not guilty. Thank you Mr. Platten
