I initially thought that I had struck gold when I hired Mr Platt and his team to help me with my case. His reviews are amazing. Everyone is so nice. They get back to you really quick. This is all true! I wont deny that. But he failed me. My divorce went to trial and lasted for 4 days!!!! He forgot to ask my witness questions...she was only on stand for maybe 20 minutes while my exs mother was on stand for several hours. He was unprepared, probably because my case SHOULD have been a black and white open and closed case. But...He didn't bring documentation that would have easily disproved many of the things that were being said against me. He lost his phone the first day of trial and was more worried about that than my case. He was flustered and aggressive and it didn't go well with the judge. The final day....he left halfway though and had his paralegal finish. When all was said and done everything sucked. But we had a few ways to counter it. We COULD have written a letter of reconsideration. I wanted him to do it. The day came to file it and it hadn't been done and he convinced me to appeal the case instead. I wanted to do both but he assured me that a letter of reconsideration would be a waste of money so I reluctantly accepted his proposal. And he made a deal with me for the appeal, he and I worked out an agreement regarding payment on it and he backed out last minute because even though he "lost" my case initially, I wouldn't be able to pay him ANOTHER retainer fee. Honestly, I think more than anything he was embarrassed that everything went so horribly and just gave up but that isn't my fault. And one more thing....they will nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING. I had on my invoice a charge for $17.50 for his paralegal to email me "Thank you".....because I told her not to do something because I took care of it myself.
Ben Platt and Jason Burns are an amazing legal team. I probably have had the most trying, labor intensive, and demanding divorce case, business case and child custody case known to man. "I am saying that from my own experience, not trying to discount anyone else's trial and tribulations'" Ben and Jason have given my case hell, I am continually impressed by how organized the are, how much they remember on the fly, and how much attention they given me directly, with as busy as their work loads are. I am not the easiest client. Obviously I am goin through a very emotional battle, but they are there, and have been there for me every step of the way for the last 3 YEARS!
Thanks you guys! As a sometimes difficult client- I am a believer in Platt Law, and I will recommend you to all that ask.
