WARRANTS LIFTED

IN MAY OF 2008 I RECEIVED 2 TICKETS FROM THE TYLER POLICE DEPARTMENT AND USED MR. PLATTEN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SITUATION. HE DID ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED BY GIVING NOTICE TO THE COURT THAT HE WAS RETAINED AS MY ATTORNEY. ON 4/9/ 09 MR PLATTEN FOUND OUT THAT THE CITY COURT DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT WAYS ISS...UED WARRANTS ON ME FOR THESE TICKETS. IN TYLER IT IS NOT UNCOMMON THAT IT TAKE A YEAR TO ADDRESS TICKETS WHEN A LAWYER HAS BEEN HIRED TO ADDRESS THIS. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE WARRANTS MR PLATTEN WENT INTO HIGH GEAR TO GET THE WARRANTS LIFTED. THEY WERE TAKEN CARE OF IN 3 HOURS AND MR. PLATTEN MADE THE CITY WRITE A LETTER THAT THE WARRANTS WERE LIFTED BECAUSE DUE TO THE CITY OF TYLER NOT DOING THERE JOB MY JOB WAS IN JEAPORDY BECAUSE I AM A PAROLE OFFICER AND WE CANNOT HAVE ACTIVE WARRANTS ON US TO KEEP OUR JOB. MR. PLATTEN HAS THE EXPERT KNOWLEGE AND PROFESSIONAL ABALITY TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AND HE CAN DO THE SAME FOR HIS CLIENTS. MR PLATTEN CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR LEGAL NEEDS

NOT GUILTY!!!

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

NOT GUILTY

Mr. Platten represented me when I was accused of DWI. He assured me he would do everything he could to help me. The day of trial I was nervous and I was offered probation. Mr. Platten told me I could either take the deal or we could go to trial and I most likely get probation even if I convicted. ... But he believed he could win my case. He said all he had to do was get the right jury. I was so scared through the trial but Mr. Platten told me it would be ok and told me to try and maintain my composure. Well his instincts were right and I was found not guilty of my third DWI. Thank you Mr. Platten Sincerely, Fred
