I went to Mr. Platten for his criminal defense services for a terrible misunderstanding that had lead me to be charged with assault at 22 years old. I was going to school and working full time and I never had been in “trouble” like this before, so I was stressing over finding an attorney that not onl...y I could trust to take on my case, but to help protect my future. I don’t think I could have found a better person to fit the job! I instantly knew I was in good hands just with the convenience they offered me with even the simple things like overall scheduling and payments. It was beyond relieving to know that someone else was taking my case as seriously as I was! I wouldn’t have taken anything less than the justice of my case being dismissed and Mr. Platten would not either by doing everything in his power to fight until the very end! My case was dismissed and couldn’t be more greatful for the overall experience! I highly recommend his services and I wouldn’t think twice about working with him again if I ever find myself needing legal assistance again in the future.

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.

Mr. Platten and his legal assistant Samantha are awesome! They answered any questions that I had or did not understand about my case. He worked hard and did everything he could to save my CDL from getting suspended which was the main concern for my arrest for dwi. I don’t have to worry about losing m...y job! Great people and go above and beyond to get the job done!

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!

Eric was my attorney for a street racing case. It took a year to get this case solved due to bad prosecutors and a lot of complications on the state's behalf but Eric stuck by my side and daught for me to the end. He didn't take no for an answer and got my case settled exactly how I wanted it! Pretri...al diversion! Thanks so much Eric, you rock!
