    Very good attorney. Highly recommended. Working on a very important case for me. When I get…read moreconcerned he reassures me everything will be alright. Nice to have a real attorney that fights for you.

    I was arrested and charged with an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon felony in Nov. 2021…read more Now an older man, had raised a good family, having no criminal background, built a successful, well known local/statewide business, I was literally terrified. I had contacted and met with 3 of the most recommended, lawyers in Smith County. But I wasn't convinced that they truly had my back in this case. Frustrated, I read Erick Platten's web page bio and knew he seemed to have a strategic, well thought out plan of attack/defense mentality. I contacted him the day before my arraignment to appear in court. He said, man you have an emergency situation, I can be there to represent you in court tomorrow. So I rolled dice with Erick for my future, paid him over the phone and met him the next day in court for the first time. The judge, and DA presented the charges to us for the first time to review. They looked really incriminating but I knew they were not fact. Erick absolutely knew how to handle it and put my wife, the only witness/victim on the stand to testify right there. Later I found out that allowing us to put a witness on the stand in arraignment is very rare. Calling up witnesses usually comes later or in a trial. Erick showed up that day with a let's get this dismissed today mentality. But the DA here rarely goes down easy, Erick stated this over and over during our talks. He stated; "they know me WELL and they know they better have their facts straight, I'm in this to win this for you". Erick holds his law cards close to his chest (like a seasoned poker champion) and plays them at exactly the right time. I found that the Smith County DA has an everyone is guilty as charged, hang-em-high mentality no matter how clean of a life you have led in the past many years of life. They do NOT care who's life they ruin, guilty or not! I had raised a large, loving productive family and we are big local supporters of many charities. I was a good citizen! They don't care about that Erick explained. They will indict a "Ham Sandwich"! And with no review of the evidence they had planned to do just that. Until Erick played a few of his cards and convinced them not to indict me the day before they were going to go before the Grand Jury. Just the way they do things in a Grand Jury hearing ought to be illegal, we don't have the right to be there to defend ourselves. They roll the cases through, indict you, then it's trial by jury time all right in front of my peers in our town of Tyler. They could ruin a person's reputation even if their not convicted in trial. From the very beginning Erick's mission was to get ALL charges dropped, PERIOD! No plea bargain, no probation, Erick would have none of this and knew EXACTLY how to play the legal game for my life and future. I must admit, I got very anxious many times. I would call and or text Erick and his calming response was immediate!!!! He always stated, trust me, I have YOUR back, don't worry about this! And I must say he did. In only 5 months he got this dismissed, no hearing, no more fines, the entire nightmare of facing a potential sentence from minimum 2 years - 20 maximum was over. Just like that it was over. Erick had his timing, defense negotiations/strategies completed precisely and flawlessly and on my 63rd birthday it was completely over with a phone call. Erick has a great attitude, he's personable, he knows his job and he cares greatly about his clients future, We matter greatly to Mr. Platten! In business I have attorneys. But none quilt like Mr. Erick Platten...THANK YOU SIR!!!!! This man has the experience, the passion and I believe Erick is one of the GREATS of Defense law!

    My husband's SUV was hit by a driver running a stop sign at 55 miles per hour in November 2010. He…read moresustained head, neck and R femur injuries resulting in a week in acute care, 2 weeks in physical rehab, and 2 months of outpatient therapy. Dealing with the responsibilities of our personal life, and working full time, made it almost impossible for me to cope with the insurance companies fighting over who owed what to whom. Our health insurance would pay most of our bills, but wanted to grab any payment from our car insurance. My husband would be off work at a minimum 6 months, and might never, according to the surgeons, be able to work at his present job again.With the health insurance taking all of the car insurance paymnt, there was not to be anything for us for lost wages, lost function, or physical suffering. In desperation I called David Dobbs' law office. He was in court but I laid out my problems over the phone to his assistant Lavana. She spent over an hour with me, and asked if I wanted to discuss things further with Mr. Dobbs. I said yes, and he called back within an hour. After discussing the details with him, it was decided that he would be able to intervene and take some pressure off of me by dealing with all the accident details for my huband. Two days after my husband left rehab, I wheeled him into the Dobbs & Tittle office, and turned all our problems over to their staff. After the initial visit, the office called weekly to see if we needed anything, to update us on progress and to let us know they were there for us. My husband defied medical opinions and returned to work 2 days short of 6 months off, limping but functional. Today I made my second and final visit to Dobbs & Tittle, with my husband, for settlement details and closing of my husband's case. We received more than we had ever hoped for, and the warmth of the staff was unbelievable. If, God forbid, we ever again needed a personal injury lawyer, David Dobbs would be our choice. Tops in integrity, honesty, wamth, caring, concern, as are Lavana, Karen, Victoria and any other staff we've had the pleasure of encountering. They took my anxiety and fears down to a manageable level and made it possible to keep the rest of our life running (mostly) smoothly over the last 7 months. They have been a blessing when we drastically needed one, and I can't say "Thank you" enough. Jean Lord-Jensen Van, TX
