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!

I was trying to help a much older family member to find a local attorney to represent her in a very…read moremessy, very contentious and emotional family law matter and I was referred by another friend to Balfour Law Offices. I was told he had been extremely helpful and on top of things and was told he worked well with elderly clients and was very responsive and patient. He came highly recommended by a few folks in the area and was my family members choice. She kept bugging me to call this guy. I tried and tried to get in touch with this guy on behalf of my older relatives but could not get a response. I tried at various times of the week and various times during the business day. This little old lady, who has nothing but time kept calling me and calling me asking if I've gotten in touch with this guy, as she was intimidated to talk to an attorney alone, was really upset and confused about her legal problems also just wanted someone else with her for moral support. She didn't have any problem venting her problems to me and reaching out to me, but anyway. She wanted someone else there, for help asking the right questions and to make sure she wasn't mixing up things. She also wanted me to take notes for her so she could refer back to them later. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a hold of this guy after trying several times. He may be very good at what he does, but we will never know. It also doesn't provide a good comfort level in hirning this guy if he doesn't get back with you - before you even sign on the dotted line. I'm hoping it's something with his phone or he forgot to put his out of office message on, I'd heard good things and we had to start our search over to find someone else -- I just wanted this thing done.
