Facing a felony up to 10 years in prison to no prison time served

He represented me through a case where I was facing a felony. I was looking at up to 10 years in prison. He successfully argued that I was illegally arrested and I served no prison time. Because he did a great job on my other case, I contacted him about an incident where a negligent driver hit me ...as I was pulling into my driveway. I just happened to text his personal number since he gave it to me through my last case. He was able to consult me on what to do next and will be representing me through this as well. He has a great talent for building relationships with clients and will treat you so well where you’ll always use him in any legal representation you need in the future. He is always just a call or text away and is very open to you contacting him directly through his personal number. You feel very taken care of working with him.

The smartest decision I’ve made.

Great experience!! Left In the dark by court appointed attorney. I didn’t know what was going on and I was honestly scared by the possibility of what could happen and not knowing anything. I hired Mr Platten (which was the best decision I could have made) about 10 days before I was set to go to ju...ry trial. He explained everything to me. He also found out about a couple of cases that were gonna be sprung on me that would have put me away for quite a while. I was looking at a total of 3 State Jail Felonies and a 3rd Degree Felony. I was more than pleased to sign for 4 years probation with no jail time. The judge also wanted to send me to SAFP, but thanks to Mr Platten’s decision to put me on the stand and question me I am able to sit at home and write this instead of sitting in county waiting to catch chain to SAFP. Thank you so much for caring and fighting so hard. I highly recommend Mr Platten to anyone requiring expert legal services.

A Brilliant Attorney

Erick Platten is a superb attorney. He isn't afraid to look outside the box and walk outside the line in order to get results. He does all of this because he cares about helping his clients. Erick will help shoulder your legal burden, simplify things, and find the best possible outcomes. If you do no...t hear from him on your case, be patient, timing is important. Know that he works a lot and once your case does reach him in time, he will give it absolute focus. I was blindsided by two felony counts and was in scared. I was in fear of going to jail for a long time, losing everything I worked for, and for losing my liberties. Erick worked through my case with care and found holes in the investigation and holes in the official story. He did not let those holes slide and continue to punish me. He ended up getting me the results we were looking for. I couldn't be happier. Please give him a call if you are in trouble, he's there to help.

Family Nurse Practitioner

I had originally hired Mr. Platten for a DWI, however I ended up with a second DWI, in less than 6 months from the first. Mr. Platten agreed to represent me for both cases and was absolutely excellent through the process. He was very through and also cared for my well being. He was able to negotia...te a pre-trial diversion. This would allow me to have a clean record once I completed my probation period of 2 years and their recommendations as ordered. He is an AMAZING ATTORNEY.

Exceptional

Like many others, I never expected to need an attorney for a DUI. I only remembered ordering the first beer. I totaled my car and ended up in the ER. There were drugs in my system that I did not take. Long story short, he believed me and handled everything. He spent time with me going over the case a...nd was always available by phone. He and Samantha basically held my hand through this horrible ordeal and I could not be more grateful. I received pre-trial diversion which was terminated early. If you need an attorney... you probably need this attorney.
