The g.o.a.t greatest of all time for sure

Hired this man thinking he would probably get me a better deal than the other lawyer I had paid to do nothing. Once I spoke with him I knew I had a good one. But never did I know he was capable of magic.. I mean I've seen and heard about people getting great deals but nothing like this. I was origina...lly arrested for having around lets say 8-9 grams of meth. And signed for 3 yrs probation with my court appointed attorney. (Not Andy) . Long story short got out and did the whole probation thing for a while got tired of the constant bs and failed a u/a got assigned a bunch of classes didnt do em and went on the run. Made it over a year got stopped had blue warrant. Ended up getting a no bond. Hired yet another attorney (before I met Andy ) and got a bond approved and bonded out. Heard about Andy from a friend of a friend. hired him and he really went above and beyond. I had 14 plus violations and I was mia for well over a year of not reporting. My original charge was 4<200 my first lawyer got it dropped to 1<4. But I had too sign for probation that day. Anyway he got that 1<4 reduced down to yet a lesser charge of under a gram. Sweet right? Right! And then says they said ok. I was like what? They said yes to what. A 1<4 reduced to under a gram reduced to 1244-a. And theres more. I ended up with time server and walked out of court today with a big smile and huge burden lifted off my shoulders. He is the best in the business folks hire this man and get answers. Thanks again man you are the man.

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!!!!

Miracle worker

After getting a felony charge pos u 1g thinking I was going away for a while! Andy kept pulling rabbits out of the hat so to speak until I got no jail time and no probation! I’ve recommended him to several people needed legal help since. Thank you Andy

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.
