VERY HELPFUL!!! Had a mess up in court orders Mr.platten was very quick to fix the situation!! Would highly recommend.

This is a great place to defend and protect you when you need them. They helped me from Texas to Tennessee and Tennessee to Texas with love and understanding. And they do it all peacefully and willfully. Thank you Erick and your Team!!

Mr. Platten represented my daughter on a DWI charge. I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable in the area of field sobriety testing. We ended up with dismissal of charges due to the stop being classified as a bad stop. I'm truly thankful we found a lawyer that persevered until he achieved the justice we needed. He communicated with us each step of the way. If you need professional law advice or help, Mr. Platten is excellent.

Great service got my husband on parole on his first hearing great work Thank you!

Platten Law is excellent and comes through for their clients! Mr. Platten is extremely knowledgeable of the law and went the extra mile for me. He even gave me his personal cell phone number and always took his calls immediately or promptly returned them. I felt like my case was given close attention and I was extremely happy with the outcome!

Mr. Platten and his team were very attentive and reassuring the whole step of the way. Even during the pandemic and the adversity we all faced caused by covid, he stayed in close contact with me and kept me well informed. He was able to get my charges reduced from a felony to a class A misdemeanor, which is no small feat. I am very thankful that I had him representing me. I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Erick to represent my Son on a very serious charge, it carries a ten year prison sentence, Erick was able to get two years Probation and was willing take it to trial if necessary, don't expect results when you hire a cheap Attorney. Thanks Erick, Tim

Spoke with Mr. Platten the other day and let me tell you, I have never spoken to an attorney that was so open/patient to all of my questions. This guy means business. I told him about my case, he seemed to be more upset about than me 😂😂 which was a good thing ! He was pumped up! If there is any legal matters that you have in east texas/smith county Mr. Platten should be the first person you call. He is easy to talk too, very professional & most of all he is honest !! Seriously Go see him !!

Mr.Platten didna excellent job with my case. The state wasnt even considering probation until Mr.Platten got involved and he got me probation instead of prison , and the charge was theft of firearm ... He gave me the chance to be free from prison and a chance to change my life around which i did...

First thing I want to say is if you are looking for an honest, compassionate, hardworking, and exceptional lawyer you've clicked the right website. ERICK PLATTEN OF PLATTEN LAW is the lawyer you need in your corner if and when an unjustice falls in your lap. He will be there for you through it all. Calls no problem. He answers. Text no problem hes on it. He will keep you informed as it all progresses. My story: I was faced with an Indecency of a child charge. That I was innocent of so Mr. Platten sat with me during the consultation he informed me that he would get the truth out. He was very compassionate during this difficult time never once did he fall short. Excellent lawyer Id say the best in Tyler by far but most importantly a complete gentleman. During this story I will call the person "The child" so she may remain anonymous. So the child on Nov. 15, 2019 decides to walk into school after watching a "Play it safe video" sponsored by the CAC and tell a school counselor she has been abused sexually. The police got involved it was then referred to the CAC where a detective took over the case. A forensic interview took place immediately and charges were filed. Mr Platten advised me to speak with noone. I didn't. Mr. Platten sent me for a polygraph which I passed and proved my innocence. This was the beginning of a long 8 month hell ride dealing with CAC and Smith County. The evidence was sent to the DA and the detective but it just wasn't enough to clear my name. The child went to see a sexual abuse counselor that was recomended shortly after her interview with the CAC. Initially she stuck to the story but the counselor wasn't buying it. Her story was inconsistent and the signs of an abused child just weren't there. After a few visits the child confessed she lied about it all. If you are thinking what I was thinking then you would think we'll thats it case closed. NOPE!! See the CAC believes kids don't lie and with an alleged crime like this they are brutal and will stop at nothing to put your ass in jail. I call BS because kids lie all the time if not then why are correctional facilities set up for them. Anyway enough about that. Mr Platten takes the evidence to the DA and CAC. Brick wall they not budging. The child at this point feels guilty as to what she has done and decides she wants to speak with the detective on the case. The detective avoided her like the plague. She didn't want to hear the truth. Her mind was made up that I committed a crime and she was hunting me like a dog. Next the child decides she wants to be interviewed again to confess her previous lie. She does and its documented. Mr Platten takes this evidence to the DA and CAC. Brick wall once again. It seems no matter what is said they only believe the initial story. Mr Platten didn't give up he knew an injustice was brewing and he wasn't gonna let an innocent man go to jail. Mr Platten didn't give up he knew an injustice was brewing and he wasn't gonna let an innocent man go to jail. Then the idea of a polygraph comes into play for the child and she accepts because she truly wants to stop the mess she made. The guilt is killing her. She takes tge polygraph and passes. It confirmed she initally lied to the Police. Evidence was taken to CAC and DA. Brick wall yet again. Mr. Platten is now upset with all the evidence pointing to his client being innocent they won't drop it. Thats when he gets the idea of involving the media. We going to make this go public. Texas Monthly started snooping around asking questions but no response from anyone. Mr Platten used the power of law to prove my innocence. End result I was never arrested and case was dismissed. Erick I would like to thank you for exposing the truth. Thank you for being there when I needed you. Most importantly thank you for giving me my life back.

I got a probation violation on a DWI case. Since I used him on the case itself, I called him right up. He had done an amazing job with the case. He hit the ground running to get me out. With the violation I was looking at a year in jail. The man got me out in 7 days. Amazing work. Thank you Eric! Have me my life back.
