Andy Platt. Great Defense Attorney

I had already been appointed an attorney by the court and had appeared twice with the same offer of 4 years when I caught another Felony charge that revocted my bond and left me sitting in Greenbay again. With already 6 prior Felony convictions on my record I wasn't the least bit excite...d about my court date coming up. When I was sitting in the hold over at the court house I was the first to hear my name called by Andy who then I had no idea was my hired Attorney through a really good friend of mine. As he breifly spoke of the conversation he just had with the D.A in which an offer of 9 months State Jail was given, I asked, "Are you my Attorney"? Oh, yes, he said. I'm Andy Platt. Your friend,%#%=#%= retained me for you. On the the 9 months he refused and told the D.A. 6 months w/ a 1244a and we'd sighn today. Get you a cup of coffee and come back in 10 minutes they said. So , he asked "What do you think?" I said, Yes. That would be Awsome!! And so after a few minutes. He came back with the paperwork for me to sighn. And so I went from 4 years in Prison to 90 days in jail and the other Felony case dismissed!!!!! Andy Platt?? Yes, I Highly recommend him to anyone who needs an Attorney that Will fight for the Very Best possible outcome to your defense!!!!

He cared.

Couldn't believe how invested he got in my case. He really cared about me and my husband's case.

A true God Send and Amazing Attorney

My husband has had cases that we have been fighting for years, we have had other attorneys that didn't fight for him, didn't seem to care. My husband remembered having Mr. Platt as a attorney and how good he was. I contacted Andy and explained everything he gave us a beyond reasonable fee and started... working immediately and did an amazing job, and got my husbands life back. He is a fighter and very good at what he does. If you are looking for a great defense lawyer Andy Platt is the man to hire. I will ALWAYS recommend him. Thank you Andy a million times thank you!

Awesome Lawyer

In 2001 I had signed for 2 years at tdc and he got it reduced to 6 months state jail then applied the 1244 so I only did 3 months at county for possession of controlled substance under a gram . he is very easy to talk with and quick to respond.

AFTER BEING COURT APPOINTED 10 YEARS AGO, ANDY HAS EARNED HIS PERMANENT SPOT ON MY SPEED DIAL! WHEN I NEED HIM, HE ANSWERS

Andy was my court appointed attorney nearly 10 years ago and has looked out for me and all my friends ever since. I have recommended Andy over a dozen times and Andy always brings a since of ease and comfort when he meets you and takes his first look at your case. Trying to find and hire a crimin...al defence attorney is scary and very stressful especially if your freedom is in jeopardy. Don't go with a layer that is only focused on what the court is offering, Andy works the cases and finds ways to negotiate much more favorable options. If you are in serious trouble, your freedom depends on making the right choice in representation. CHOOSE ANDY. CHOOSE TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS AND SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ENOUGH TO ANSWER YOUR CALLS WHENEVER YOU NEED HELP
