Benjamin D Platt

I am currently working with Mr. Platt on a child relocation case. I have worked with 2 other attorney's and by far Mr. Platt has been the best I have come across. His office is extremely professional and they have always kept me advised on what is going on in my case. Mr. Platt's assistant Nia Cha...sse is also 1 of the best I have worked with. She is very helpful and just like Mr. Platt has always been willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything on my case is taken care of and in a very timely manner. I have already recommended this office to a friend of mine and will continue to do so. They are a resonably priced office that gives superior service. If you are looking for an attorney that is willing to actually get in there and look out for your best interest in the court system, this is the office to choose.

I hired Ben because the show was good and he made me sound like i had a good case in a child custody battle. He lost twice in court to my ex who represented herself without a lawyer and is only 21 yrs old. He never called or called back when he said he would. Him and his assistant make you believe th...ey know the answers but dont know anything. My child support was actually raised after they went to court with out consulting me or me even knowing. I was only given very minimal time with my child. I could of done a better job without him as an attorney and representing myself in court. If you don't want to waste time energy money or stressful times i dont reccommend him. Im out two thousand dollars, but take my advice and spend good money on a expensive lawyer because it will add up with Ben. The reviews here show.

completely agree with the review that stated, "He wouldn't keep me informed at all. Always unavailable." Everything in that review is absolutely, 100% true. However, I do believe some of the problem happens to be his "assistant" Nia Chasse. She happens to be one of the most incompetent people I h...ave ever met. Also, Ben is running a want-to-be lawyer office, in my opinion; if you pay attention, everyone in his office has the last name Platt. I hired Ben to handle a divorce for me and ended up, after nearly eight months of them attempting to serve my ex-husband, flying into Spokane from across the country to serve my ex-husband myself. I thought that is what I hired an attorney for? Also, I would leave persistent emails and voicemails requesting callbacks and information with no reply. Then I would receive my invoice and be charged for his assistant/receptionist reading them! I hired an attorney for legal advice, not to constantly get advice from his high school girl receptionist; although, I am not sure if Ben could provide legal advice himself. When I went into the office after months of trying to get a hold of them, I was standing in the office with Ben and Nia. I proceeded to ask Ben a question about my case and Nia started arguing with him about his answer. They couldn't agree on the answer. It was a simple legal question regarding defaulting in a divorce case. In the early stages of the process, once I figured out what a joke of an office they were, I asked about "firing" them and what my refund would be. They had stated that my funds I had given them were pretty much used up and the case was almost completed. It lasted nine more months. This experience was exhausting. Also, the last reviewer stated, "After I finally got through to him stating that I was very unhappy with him, he filed paper with the court dumping me as a client," I can completely relate to this person. I sent probably six emails asking the same question with no response, so when I finally sent another one expressing my dissatisfaction he replied saying I was disrespecting his staff and he would no longer have any correspondence with me. I simply had stated in my email that I felt as if it was unprofessional to not receive a reply from his assistant. This was not disrespect; it was simply an excuse Ben is using to not provide customer satisfaction. This is what his firm is all about; excuses. This place is a joke, they might not charge as much as other divorce lawyers, but I would go back and pay thousands more to someone else who actually values their clients and does not have to ask their receptionist legal questions. Good luck if you choose to hire Ben as your legal representation, you will need it.
