Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC

Assertive Litigators Representing Your Interests
The Melbourne FL lawyers at Platt Cole Russell & Simpson are known for two things: the successes they achieve in litigation and their willingness to go to battle for clients. The two are related. By going into litigation armed with motions, evidence and powerful arguments against evidence, we send the message that we are not there to lose.
Opponents and prosecutors know we are not pushovers, and that we know the law not just on paper but through the huge volume of case law, one ruling of which may have specific application to the case at hand.
Our cases fall into three practice categories:
- Personal injury: Car accidents, truck accidents and other motor vehicle accident injuries as well as premises liability, wrongful death and other negligent actions
- Family law: Divorce, division of property, parenting plans, child custody, child support and alimony
- Criminal defense: Vigorous defense against every kind of criminal charge, from DUI to cybercrimes, from drug crimes to sex crimes, from burglaries to violations of probation
Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC and the rest of the attorneys at our firm are respected throughout Brevard County and Florida for successful careers in personal injury, criminal and family law. Clients appreciate our straight talk. We do not split hairs or spin overly optimistic expectations. But rest assured the other side knows they are in for a battle.
