I highly recommend Erick Platten as a Criminal Defense attorney! He promised us over and over that "He would take care of our son", and he did just as he promised! He was able to negotiate a second chance for our son. Erick is a great communicator. He kept us in the loop and reassured ...us when all seemed lost. If you are faced with a serious situation, please call Erick. When we first called Erick we were desperately fearful about our son's future. Erick saw us on a Sunday morning, within an hour after we first called. I can't tell you how reassured we were after we met Erick that first time. Erick did everything he could to facilitate an early release for our son, and ultimately negotiated an outcome better than we could have possibly imagined. Trust Erick!

A+ Rating I contacted Erick Platten about purchasing Fire Arms ( 2nd Amendment ). I was unsure if i was going to qualify for purchasing a fire arm. Mr. Platten quick response and easy to work with helped me out to the fullest and checked if there were any problems in my background I passed with f...lying colors. Mr. Platten = Highly Responsive and Trustworthy!!!! Again thanks for all your help Erick Platten Awesome Job!!

I work in Afghanistan and had handle my dui case.. Worse decision I have ever made, next to driving drunk. I had to deal with his secretary, who never return phone calls or emails, not did she ever forward any messages to Erick. I never talked to Erick until I had a warrant for him missing my court ...date, which he blamed on the system for failing to let him know. To Which I explained, I let his secretary know of the court date change. After calling and leaving a angry message he contracted me for the first time, saying he would take care of it. I explained how crucial it was, because my job depended on it. The next day he somehow tricked the court, into thinking it was their mistake.. In which they overturned my warrant.. On the day of my mandatory court appearance, I found out that Mr Platten never reviewed the police video, and requested a future court date, which was denied..they did allow him an hour to review the tape..so he was able to view the video for ten minutes before telling me the only thing he could do is maybe talk to the DA. Due to my strict time schedule, I was not able to do probation, so I had to serve jail time. Which was not long. The day I was suppose to turn myself in to go to jail, I found out I had to appear in court for sentencing, and he was suppose to be present. The judge allowed me to contract my lawyer...he fail to return my calls, nor did his secretary. So I have up my rights to have my lawyer present and was sentenced to jail without him. Some months I found the state had issued t that I have an interlock system installed on my truck to drive even thigh the court didn't require it... I called him to have him figure out what was going , and to have him take care of the paperwork to send to the state stating it was not part of my court order... Which he and his secretary failed to do....which I am now having to deal with myself... For this guy being the number one dui lawyer, I would not recommend him.. The whole thing was a compete waste of $5000.

I had never been in need of a criminal defense lawyer and I called Erick Platten which I've been knowing for 30 plus years. He got me out of jail in 1 hour. He told me every step of the way, what to do and what not to do. He was with me every step of the way. I could call him day or night 24/7/s ...and he told me we would win this case and we did without going to court. I would recommend this eager, aggressive attorney any day. Thanks Erick you're the best!!!!!
