Mr. Platten is an extremely knowledgeable individual. I sought advice from him about a DWI charge, contacting him pretty late in the day, and he got back with me the very next morning; he then thoroughly explained everything to me. You can tell he cares deeply about clients, and I would recommend him... to anyone.

If you are reading this review, then it is assumed that you are in a similar situation as I was for the last couple of months. I have always lived my life in line with the law. I never dreamed I would ever be in a position to ever need the assistance of a criminal lawyer. Therefore, I was not prepare...d for what had happened to me... Unfortunately I was completely blind sided by a Felony Assault Charge by the State in Cass County TX. Being that children were within the area, CPS was also involved in my case as well. I quickly needed a criminal attorney to fight this charge, and had no idea as to where to begin. Like you, I began researching lawyers in the area and reading reviews. After researching many local attorneys, I came across Erick Platten's reviews, and I was blown away. This was definitely the person I wanted on my side to fight for me. I immediately contacted Mr. Platten. He was very understanding of my situation, and obviously very knowledgeable. When Mr. Platten told me the fee that would initially be charged, I'm not going to lie... I was very overwhelmed. It was a very large sum of money, and as I stated earlier, I was not very prepared for it at all. I knew I'd be fighting for my life throughout all of this, and did everything I possibly could to come up with the fee... and let me tell you, Mr. Platten is worth every penny! He immediately started on my case. He communicated with me regardless of the day/time in order to give me some sense of stability/comfort throughout the process. Mr. Platten showed a sincere concern for my situation and although he made no promises as to the end result, he absolutely committed to doing everything he possibly could in order to resolve my case as quickly as possible. Several months later my case was finally dismissed by the DA, and I was finally able to get my life back. I never would have made it through all of this without the help of Mr. Platten. I could not have selected a better attorney. I pray I will never again find myself in need of a criminal attorney... But if I do, or anybody I know does... Erick Platten will be the only choice for me or my family! Thank you Mr. Platten! I truly appreciate all you have done to help me get this resolved...

I was facing 15 to life on one of the biggest drug cases to hit the Tyler area in years. Felony possession of marijuana, Felony possession of tetrahydrocannabinol, Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity, and unlawfully carry of a weapon. I thought my life was over until I contacted Mr. Platten. From... the beginning he assured me he would take care of everything and give me a chance to continue my life outside of prison. After 10 months of battling a case that the media blew out of the water due to the well known local DJ involved, he finally convinced the prosecutor and judge to give me a more than fair deal. I was always able to contact Mr. Platten and his assistant thought the whole deal. They were both very knowledgeable and prompt with every aspect of my cases. His fee to represent me was more than reasonable and I believe he was worth every dime spent. He got 2 of my charges dismissed without me having to testify or "snitch" on anybody involved in my case. This is something I was very persistent in not having to do and not once was I ever asked or pressured to do so. I ended up getting 5 years deferred adjudicated probation with no fine, no community service, and eligible to have early release after 24 months. My family and I greatly respect and admire Mr. Platten for everything he did for me during this hard time in my life. I highly recommend Erick for any trouble you may be in. Although outcomes are not always predictable, I truly believe Platten Law is the best law firm in the state of Texas. Don't hesitate to call him when your life is on the line. He saved mine and he can save yours as well. Thank you Erick for everything you did and making it possible for me to continue my journey through this thing we call life!
