“Please thank Judge Platt for miraculously settling a case that was virtually impossible to settle with large amounts involved. His reputation is well deserved!”
“As a personal observation, I would like to extend my appreciation for your efforts in resolving the recent case…I am sure you recognized the numerous legal issues and the factual circumstances that made this case difficult to settle. I am also certain that without your efforts this case would not have been resolved. Although the legal system is much maligned these days, I happen to believe that this case represents the strength of the system.”
“I write to thank you for your efforts to bring about a settlement with the County…There were times during our mediation when I was prepared to walk out the door and it was only through your patience and thoughtfull facilitation that we remained on track. Please know how much we appreciate your assistance and service to us and the County.”
“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.”
“Persistence, Determination, Fairness to all parties” – “Saved plaintiff significant litigation expenses”
“Judge Platt is persistent and he gets tough cases settled. I have suggested Judge Platt to opposing counsel for mediation and I am about to retain him again. I am an experienced mediator myself. I can state without qualification that Judge Platt is first rate. Costs were fair and within range I’d expect. This was a very complicated, multi-party case. The settlement was fair and reasonable.”
“I know Judge Platt very well and have mediated with him on substantial cases. You cannot find any one any better than Judge Platt as a mediator and should not hesitate to use him. He is intelligent, very knowledgeable about the law, fair, great to be around and will work hard to obtain an equitable resolution.”
“Judge Platt has great skill as a mediator and manages client expectations well.”
“Judge Platt is that rare person who, notwithstanding the fact that he is one of the brightest folks around, can convey information effectively to almost anyone. He has that wonderful gift in a negotiator in being able to tell someone to go to hell and have them look forward to the journey.”
“Capable, Neutral, Professional” – “All parties had confidence in his evaluation skills”
“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.”
“Candor, Perseverance, Fairness – Excellent Work”
“I want to extend my sincere thanks to you for your services in this case. You were highly recommended to us as a potential mediator, and it is abundantly clear why that was the case.
