“Judge Platt was outstanding in a wrongful death/med mal case. Hospital wanted to settle but individual Dr. refused, despite recommendation of defense counsel and med mutual. Judge Platt worked it hard for most of the day and it settled.”

“Judge Platt helped me resolve a serious injury case yesterday involving a slip and fall on ice. The case ultimately settled for just over a million dollars. Judge Platt was well prepared, insightful and did an excellent job getting the case settled. My client was very impressed with Judge Platt and she trusted his recommendations based on his many years on the bench and in private practice. I would put Judge Platt’s abilities right up there with Judge Chasanow. Further he is usually available within a month period.”

Although the legal system is much maligned these days, I happen to believe that this case represents the strength of the system.”
