He was able to get me out in smith county on 2 PR bonds after I had previously violated the conditions of my bond. He had to go up and fight for it twice. If you want an attorney that cares the hire him. He is always very quick to respond to our phone calls and texts and very transparent in his respo...nses.

Erick took my call @ 4:30 a.m. Saturday and assisted us through the entire process. He made himself available for the rest of the weekend and helped us resolve the issue by the following Tuesday. Greatly appreciate his counsel through this process and helping us button it up before it became a bigg...er issue.

Mr Platten was very compassionate about my case. He spoke to me so i could understand 'lawyer talk' and communication was great! He returned calls in a timely fashion and took the time to talk to me. My experience with him was great and the results even better. Def the man you want fighting on your s...ide!

I was charged with driving while intoxicated after being taken to the hospital a little over a year ago. I was in a car accident which totaled my truck however no one was injured. Blood was drawn in the ER and I was given a DIC-24. I contacted Mr. Platten and he was very helpful. He fought my case fo...r almost a year in order to get a favorable outcome. My BAC was very high and could have resulted in a year of jail time. I’ll serve no time in jail thanks to the work he’s done. Erick Platten is an expert when it comes to blood alcohol concentration and methods used to determine BAC. He was always willing to answer questions that I had regarding the case which helped put my mind at ease.

I hired Mr. Platten after I was arrested while on deferred adjudicated probation. I was terrified of the possible outcomes! Mr. Platten made me feel confident that he would do what needed to be done to assure my place with my family and not in a Texas jail. After I was arrested Mr. Platten worked ...diligently with the Van Zandt and Smith county courts to make my 50,000 dollar bond change to a PR bond to assure my quick release when it seemed impossible to be released at all. I was overwhelmed and truly astonished by how fast Mr. Platten was able to get in touch with the judge and DA to have the appropriate papers signed for my PR bond release! Within a few weeks following my arrest he again did the impossible. My probation was reinstated with out modifications for further punishment even though I had violated felony deferred adjudicated probation! Mr. Platten is a brilliant attorney! I honestly could not have survived the terrifying court process without him. I would recommend him for absolutely any case or person. Mr. Platten is a true genius in the courts. My case could have turned out so much worse and Mr. Platten managed to grant the best possible outcome anyone could have ever imagined! A true life saver!
