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.

About a year ago I was at a bar celebrating my friends birthday. My friend wanted to go home and I offered to take her since I had not been drinking. It had been raining and the roads were very slick, I was turning at the light and my car slid and hit a fire hydrant, totaled my car, and flooded an ap...ratment complex all in the matter of a minutes causing $60,000 of damage. A Tyler Police Officer came to the scene and I told him where we had came from and he automatically assumed that I was drunk. He then started the field sobrighty tests. By the time he was done he ended up taking me to jail charged with a DWI. I talked to 6 diff. attorneys and Erick Platten was the only one that gained my trust and was sincere. After working very hard on the case and gathering all the facts for the trail the jury came to a NOT GUILTY verdict. Without Mr. Platten I would of been convicted of something that would have made it very hard to get a job starting my life out of college. THANK YOU ERICK PLATTEN

My husband was arrested on a Thurs. night. Until the next Monday morning, I had not been able to talk to him. While searching for attorneys, I called the Platten Law Office. His secretary told me that Erick would call me within the hour. In fact, he called within minutes and within an hour, I was... speaking to my husband. We hired Erick, and he made no promises except that he would do everything he could to help us prove that my husband was innocent of some very serious charges. He kept me well informed of every step he was about to take before he took it and why. During the two week period that he worked on our case, I felt very secure in the fact that things would work out, because he kept promising that he was doing everything he could as quickly as the law allowed him to do it. I talked to him mornings, nights, weekends, and the best part is that most of the calls were initiated by him. Two weeks to the hour of his arrest, the charges were dismissed!! We thank God for him.

Erick Platten did a wonderful job on my DWI case and got me a reduced charge. I hired Erick because he has a good track record of getting NOT gulity charge for his clients. He Also knows how the systems works and he will let you know what to except. He will not stop working on your case till the find...s the best way to beat your case.

Mr Platten did exactly what we wanted him to do and that was to get the case dismissed. He told me to dont worry an be patient and he wuz going to solve this. I was lookin at 2-40 years in tdc, I wuz a little nervous but he came threw as usual. therefore i recommend eric platten a smart agrresive a...ttorney. Martin Armstrong gives him two thumbs up.
