Testimonials

After my wife was taken from me after the wreck, I talked to a couple of attorneys prior to come to Tony Seaton's and Robert Bates' office who basically told me that the insurance company's offer of $30,000 was satisfactory. They actually said it was maybe a little above and beyond what I deserved, but I felt in my heart that it was not. I felt like it was a slap in the face more less, so I came to Tony's office and talked to Robert Bates who explained that the $30,000 offer was not satisfactory. Robert Bates took my case and settled it for more than triple what the insurance company initially offered--$180,000. I'm very thankful for Robert Bates, Tony Seaton and their staff. I would recommend this office to anybody. They get the job done.

Amber was truly worth her weight in gold. She became to be almost a family member. She helped us keep the faith that there would be a light at the end of the long road.

Mr. Bates was very efficient and helpful throughout the entire process. My case seemed pretty cut and dry. However, by the time he was finished I came out much better than I expected. He and his staff were professional while personable at the same time. They put me at ease and consistently reminded me that I had done nothing wrong. I would not hesitate to return to Bob myself or to recommend him to friends and family.

I found Robert to be very in tune with what I needed in this process in regards to my personal situation. The follow-up from him and his Assistant, Jennifer, was very consistent. I found them both to be very personable, related well, and were interested in not just a settlement but also that all my needs were being addressed. I can only say that Robert does what he says and kept me in a very knowledgeable position throughout the process. It is my belief that Robert would continue to be very consistent in all of these traits with anyone he represents.
