We had an extremely complex Chapter13 case. Filing bankruptcy was an extremely agonizing decision but hiring Platt and Westby to represent us was probably the smartest decision I’ve ever made. Throughout the entire 5 years, Harvey Platt, Bryan Eastin, Thomas Karvel, and especially paralegal Dorothy Bain treated us with dignity and respect. If I could give Platt and Westby, P.C. “6” stars, I would. Trust me, if you need to file bankruptcy…nobody will get your back like Platt & Westby, P.C.

Peter Westby assisted me with a real estate transaction and related litigation and an estate plan. He was very aggressive and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The real estate matter was part of a probate with family members and the problem required a lawyer with good people skills. He did an excellent job in all of the matters that I have asked him to handle for me

Mr. Westby spent over 45 minutes with me in my free consultation answering questions, discussing my options and reviewing my history (which was important in my matter). I now have created a relationship with Mr. Westby that I feel I have a go-to attorney. He impressed me with his high ethical standards and his level of professionalism. I trust him completely, and am very thankful I was able to find him.

I am writing this review so this does not happen to anyone else. This Harvey Platt individual also rents out personal properties that he has purchased. Smart, but you do have to watch out for people who will take advantage of you. If you start to look into renting one of his properties i would not recommend it. I did a lot of research in regards to verbal agreements (next time I will get it in writing) and to my findings they are almost as binding as a written agreement. Mr. Platt verbally agreed that we would receive our deposit back if the property was returned in it's original condition. Well me and my family lived there for sometime and when we left we thoroughly cleaned, painted and touched up what needed to be. He himself said that everything was fine with the property and when my wife asked when we should expect a check for our deposit he said our obligation to this property was complete. Later my wife called and asked him if he was going to honor his VERBAL AGREEMENT to pay us our security deposit and he said it would not be wise of him to do that. Mr. Platt being a lawyer it would be wise to honor your verbal agreements. If you are reading this and are thinking of conducting business with Mr. Platt......I would think again. I hope this never happens to anyone else.
