Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
Erick Platten is a criminal defense attorney based in Tyler, Texas. If you or a loved one have been charged with a crime, please contact us.
DUI/DWI
Commercial Driver DWI / 18 Wheeler DWI (CDL license) The severity of these charges and accompanying punishments vary, depending on factors such as blood alcohol level, prior offenses, whether there was a child in the car, and the speed of the car. The penalties for conviction range from license suspension and jail time to steep fines and DPS administrative surcharge fees. Successfully defending people against DWI/DUI charges requires extensive knowledge of the laws, police procedures, and the consequences. Because laws and detection techniques are constantly changing, Erick Platten attends frequent seminars, workshops, and classes on DUI defense throughout the country.
Wrongful Death
Traffic Violations
Since opening his office Erick has zealously represented clients wrongfully accused of crimes, as he puts it. "Anyone can be accused of a crime," Erick says "but the State of Texas has the burden of proof in all cases." Erick has successfully represented individuals accused of everything from minor traffic violations to some of the most violent offenses and has obtained a boatload of not guilty verdicts.
Sex Crimes
Sex crimes charges are often investigated and pursued aggressively by police and prosecutors in the State of Texas, especially if a child is involved. If you have been charged with a sex crime, it is highly advised that you seek the assistance of an experienced sex crimes lawyer as soon as possible to begin building a viable defense and ensure that your rights are protected.
Fraud
This crime is related to either stealing physical goods by using stolen credit cards to fraudulently purchase the items online, or the theft of personal information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and birthdays. Credit card fraud is a serious theft offense and must be aggressively defended.
Robbery
This felony offense can result in years in prison upon conviction, but the penalties for robbery vary based upon the degree of violence involved. If you are facing charges of robbery, it is crucial that you contact my firm without delay. In many cases, my early involvement in the case can be extremely beneficial with regard to the outcome and the degree of the charges filed against you.
Burglary
A burglary charge is a serious criminal matter, and demands fast action be taken on your behalf. Whether it is a case of mistaken identity, or there are other mitigating factors, it is crucial that the defense of your case be initiated at once to help you or your loved one fight to avoid conviction and the associated penalties. Those with prior convictions will be facing even more severe punishments.
Theft
Misdemeanors
There are many ways in which an assault can occur in the state of Texas. It is not necessary that the alleged victim suffer physical harm or even come into contact with the accused. An assault can be charged when a person perceives a threat of imminent personal danger. Any touching of another that is considered offensive by the recipient is considered assault. Such charges, however, can still result in serious punishment depending on the severity of the situation. Penalties can include misdemeanor or felony charges and may jeopardize your personal freedom, as well as your future professional goals. Hiring an experienced defense attorney could mean the difference between a dismissal and a permanent conviction on your criminal record.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Texas has a well-earned reputation for taking drug crimes seriously. Although crime rates peaked more than a decade ago, prison populations in Texas continue to climb, largely fueled by the “zero tolerance” attitude that politicians have taken to controlled substance offenses. Even the sale of marijuana carries the potential for a life sentence in Texas.
Assault
Domestic Assault is the most common cases of assaults the courts in Texas. Let our team assist you from start to finish.
Murder
However, the charge could become a first-degree felony if aggravation can be proven, changing the minimum sentence to 25 years if the victim was younger than six years of age, or if the victim was younger than 14 years of age and a deadly weapon was used or exhibited, serious injury or murder was attempted, or drugs were used to facilitate the assault. A Lubbock sex crimes lawyer can help make these laws and penalties more clear.
Juvenile Crimes
Probation Violation
A probation revocation case begins with either a Motion to Revoke Probation, or a Motion to Adjudicate for defendants on deferred adjudication. These motions will list the alleged probation violations. A warrant for arrest will be issued.
Identity Theft
In cases of identity theft when one person is charged and another is convicted, the person charged may be eligible for expunction
Homicide
Certain crimes such as child molestation, prostitution, sexual battery, DUIs, vehicular homicide, or other serious traffic offenses If you still have a criminal record and you would like it expunged, pardoned, or sealed, contact a knowledgeable expunction lawyer. The process can be very complicated and even just one error can cause a delay of several years. An experienced and professional expunction lawyer will be able to tell you whether or not you are eligible, can walk you through the application process, and can even help you argue your case. Do not wait another minute to speak to someone who knows the law – call today.
Arson
Shoplifting
Our firm often defends juveniles who are first-time offenders. Many are high school honor roll students who want to go to college. A shoplifting charge; also called a "five-finger discount” charge can greatly hinder a student's chances of success in the future. Many people like Winona Ryder and Lindsey Lohan have been accused of such crimes.
Forgery
Money Laundering
Money laundering is considered a “White Collar” crime that violates both State and Federal laws. Under Texas law, Money Laundering occurs when a person knowingly handles criminal money, supervises the transactions of criminal money, invests criminal money or invests “clean” money into a criminal enterprise. (A common example is when a person uses a legitimate business to “wash” their money to conceal its illegal source.) If you or someone you love are facing accusations or charges, reach out to an accomplished Tyler Money Laundering Attorney today. It could mean all the difference in your case.
