He will stick with you until the end!!

Mr Platton stuck with me all the way to the end. I was charged with 2nd DWI and felony evading arrest with a motor vehicle. What could have ended up being 10 years probation with a felony conviction ended up being 14 months probation and a few weekends in jail. Although I am innocent on the evadin...g arrest Eric advised me that the safest option would be a deferred adjudicated felony with 2 years probation that or put my fate in the hands of a jury. I chose the 2 year probation which was plea bargained down from a 10 year probation the DA was trying to get. Mr Platton promised to get me early termination and he did!! I will follow up on the outcome of a excessive force case Mr. Platton is working on. The cops threw me down on the ground by tripping me up smashed my face in the rocks scraped and bruised my face broke my prescription glasses and shattered my Iphone. All of this with no resistance whatsoever. Stay clear of Smith County justice system it's not worth it. Thanks to Mr. Platton it could have been a lot worse!!

DWI Case

In 2014 I got pulled over and charged with a DWI in Denton, TX. I did not feel like I was impaired at all otherwise I wouldn't have gotten behind the wheel. If anyone knows Denton's reputation, they charge and convict a lot of DWI's with little forgiveness. I passed the field sobriety test but fa...iled the breathalyzer. After a 3 year fight, Erick got the charge lowered from a DWI to an obstruction of highway which is rare here in Denton. Erick never gave up on me and fought every way he could to make sure this didn't go on my record. Throughout my time in court I saw other lawyers throwing in the towel on similar cases. Erick has helped my family on similar cases before and I would recommend him to anyone who is faced with an unfortunate situation such as mine.

Very Satisfied with his work

Mr. Platten was very thorough with my brother's parole hearing. His knowledge and expertise was instrumental in getting a favorable outcome.

Mirical worker!!!!

My husband was arrested for wrongful theft charges while he was on probation. Mr platten and his assistant Samantha kept me informed throughout the entire process! And through Mr. platten's amazing attorney abilities justice was served and all charges were dropped! I want to sincerely thank Mr. Platt...en and his team for everything they have done for my family! I would never have gotten through this without them!

Excellent Attorney

I was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon - a felony that could have resulted in 2-20 years in prison. Although I had no history of violence, I did have a history of DWIs - the last one being 13 years earlier. After researching lawyers in East Texas and reading reviews, I came across... Erick Platten who had a 10/10 rating on Avvo.com. Erick showed a sincere concern and agreed to meet with me and my wife at his office after hours to discuss the case. We were very impressed and hired Mr. Platten. Less than six months after I was charged, Erick was able to arrange for deferred adjudication and was able to keep me from having a conviction. Erick Platten is a very nice and knowledgeable attorney. I strongly recommend him.
