ERICK PLATTEN REVIEWS

Erick was very reassuring from day one and I didn’t ever have to worry throughout my case. He was very thorough in all areas from picking up my case all the way to the DISMISSAL of my case. He told me he would take care of me and he did just that! He educated me on every detail and always made sure that I wasn’t left questioning what was going on. I would refer him to anybody who needs an attorney. He was referred to me by a friend and I am forever thankful for all of his help along the way.

I cannot recommend Mr. Platten highly enough. Facing very serious charges, I was very fearful and could only envision the worst possible outcomes. From our very first Zoom consultation, Mr. Platten demonstrated an unparalleled level of skill, meticulously dissecting every flaw in the case against me. His strategic insight was nothing short of remarkable. Throughout the entire process, he kept me consistently informed and reassured, ensuring I never felt left in the dark. His dedication and expertise were evident at every stage, and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. If you’re up against the state, Mr. Platten is the attorney you want in your corner. He doesn’t just fight for you, he goes above and beyond to secure the best possible result. I am forever grateful for his exceptional work on my case. Thank you Mr. Platten.

My experience with Attorney Erick Platten was nothing short of outstanding. I am thankful for his exceptional legal service.

J. BRETT HARRISON REVIEWS

Honor, courage and commitment, the core values of the Marines, define how every Marine in the Corps thinks, acts and fights. This is Mr. Files. He helped me through hard time in my life. I will always honor and cherish this man. The best way to describe his integrity is this. If I won the lottery, I would go directly to Mr. Files, and then do exactly everything he advised me to do with the winnings. He is a true Marine.

They’re the truth and they gone keep fighting until the end. If they know you can’t beat the case they’ll make sure you get the best deal possible. Very aggressive in the courtroom.

I’d like to thank the team at Files, Harrison and Millslagle. Mr. Millslagle and Mrs Carrie really pulled a blessing together and helped get my case over turned and gave me a chance to get my life back together. I’m very thankful for these two and all the hard work they done. This is a law firm that will go above and beyond and really do everything they can.

JEFF WOOD REVIEWS

Mr. Wood was hired to represent our son on felony charges. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything clearly throughout the process. If he wasn't available Brenda was always ready to help and answer any questions we had. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Wood and his team our son received a positive outcome. We are extremely grateful that he came highly recommended and was able to help our family during this difficult time. God bless them always for their exceptional service we will forever be grateful for Mr. Wood and his team.

Mr, Jeff Wood and his entire team have been absolutely phenomenal. Always so kind and if Jeff wasn’t available, they were always ready to help answer one of the many questions my son or I had. My son had felony charges and Jeff always kept us updated from day one Jeff defended this case with determination and never made my son feel “less than”. The end result was so much better than what we could’ve ever prayed for. Jeff Wood is your go to defense attorney!!! A great reputation is very much deserved.

I would definitely recommend everybody to Rollings Wood & Pace Attorneys. They were helpful throughout the entire process and friendly from the moment I walked into the office. I was nervous because this was my first time dealing with any sort of legal trouble, and Jeff Wood treated me like family. He walked me through everything and genuinely wanted to help. These will be my attorneys for life. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend them.
