Bates & Bates Law Office

I want everyone to know how exceptional Douglas Bates IV is at practicing law and understanding the human condition. He is very receptive, communicative, caring, and skilled at what he does. He has represented me in two cases and both had favorable outcomes. His entire staff is very helpful and always kept me informed of the next steps. He genuinely listens to every word you say and then offers the best solution based on years of experience and understanding law. Whether it’s a civil or criminal matter Bates Law is as good as it gets and I highly recommend this law firm to everyone. It was an absolute pleasure to interact with Doug and his staff.

I was blessed to be employed by this firm for more than 14 years before moving away. You won't find more ethical, efficient, honest, and compassionate representation. Highly recommend.

Worst experience personally that I have had dealing with a lawyer. I felt he was a bit judgemental and when you try to be honest it felt like it was biting me in the butt. Now this is not to say he might be great for someone else and a different situation. I may be to emotionally Involved also. I will say his assistant was very kind and even responded after hours personally and he did set up a weekend consultation very quickly. Their response time was impeccable ????. Beware of the stairs to the office as they are extremely steep.

He was well worth the consultation fee! He charged a consultation fee, but the advice he gave saved me thousands. I couldn't afford to hire him, but I would have if finances allowed. I have 5 stars strictly based on the consultation. But he came highly recommended to me, I just couldn't afford him.

I have worked with Bates and Bates since 2009. They are ethical, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. What are like most about their firm is that they're aggressive. They are not afraid to employ process servers and private investigators. If you are in their coverage area, I would not hesitate to call their office if you need legal help.
