My name is Nicholas Platt, managing partner at Platt Law Firm P.C.Here, I am dedicated to protecting your rights when you have been injured at work or off the job. I have helped hundreds of clients from all walks of life and all backgrounds successfully resolve their workers’ compensation and personal injury claims.
