Benjamin D Platt

Ben is an amazing attorney that has a love for the law and his clients. I didn't feel as I was just a case to him. Ben took my case right before trial. I had spoken to several other attorneys who wanted to have the trial continued to prepare. Ben was on top of it with his excellent staff. They worked... very hard in the limited amount of time we had to prepare an excellent case. Ben was able to listen to my 4 year history of custody hearings and come up with multiple options, leaving no stone unturned. He has a lot of experience with Judges and the court house. Ben was also very respectful to the other party and there attorney. I also liked that he didn't trash the other side. He allowed them to trip on there own testimony. I was very grateful that I wasn't getting questioned by him. Ben has amazing litigating skills. I have watched a lot of attorneys in the court room and Ben is at the top of the list.

Like all the reviews near the end (the older reviews), my experience was very poor in all dealings with Mr Platt. I am convinced from checking around all the good reviews must be written by his "staff" to boost his rating. I was impressed from the time we met until he received my the check from there... it was all down hill!! He never returns calls or forwards paper work and even told me I could stop by the court house and pick up myself copies myself!!! But don't worry he bills on time and for what I feel are exorbitant charges. I have had dealings with 3 other family law attorneys over the last 5 years and he was the most expensive by about 45%!!! He made all kinds of promises before trial (to get my check) that he came no place even close to delivering, we lost BIG!!!! At trial he even got chewed out by the judge who actually said "you are a licensed attorney right"... Then after the trial it took five days to get a call back from him and when he finally did he made it sound like the loss was my fault!!!! Are you kidding me!!! Sad part was I interviewed 5 other attorneys after I dumped him, 2 took no stance and the other 3 said it went so far sideways because he did not handle it correctly at all!!! And it has been fixed by another attorney since then. The saddest and scariest part is he in the "practice" of family law... It is a scary fact that some one my hire him for custody or to help children.. Ben if you read this PLEASE consider just sticking with criminal law, DUIs, slip and falls etc...

While going through a difficult divorce I was recommended to Mr. Platt by a good family friend. He was very friendly and understanding to my situation. Mr. Platt had the ability to help calm my nerves about the whole process with his knowledge, experience and willingness to listen. When I first meet ...him I was a full time student and he was understanding and willing to work with my financial situation. I appreciated his great sense of humor that helped during this stressful year. The out come of my case was better than I could have ever imagined it would be. I would defiantly recommend Mr. Platt to any of my family and friends.

i recently wrote the review regarding "If you don't care about your kids' i feel I made a mistake. When i contacted Ben about getting some documents regarding this case, he asked if he could make things right, without me asking. I feel my emotions may have clouded my judgement. I am now very ill and... on chemo and have no money, that didn't matter to Ben and Jason, they are truly good people with a job that is full of emotions, i personalty thank and apologize to both of these gentlemen. and i would recommend them anytime. Criminal of Family, they will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, and this is great. Call anytime for reference 509-216-5691
