introduction
Yates has time and time again done what other lawyers couldn’t when suing on behalf of people injured by defective products, by the carelessness of a landlord, or in an automobile accident, to name just a few of the types of cases handled by Yates’s firm.
And one thing he has done more than almost anyone else in his business: win for his clients.
Where most lawyers are happy if they can scrape out a win in a relatively small number of lawsuits, Greg Yates has one of the highest success rates in the state of California. The reason is that when Greg Yates takes a case, he plays to win.
He represented 60 individuals in suits against the Los Angeles Police Department where he uncovered the corruption of the Rampart division of the department in framing individuals for many different crimes.
He has received recognition for motor vehicle defect cases and other product liability cases where his work resulted in manufacturers actually recalling and fixing or reengineering dangerously defective products. He has also been successful in bringing complex catastrophic injury cases including over 100 traumatic brain injury cases.
QUESTIONNAIRE
In 2018 I represented the surviving daughter and parents of Anthony Weber who was shot and killed by the Sheriff’s department. I was able to recover $3.75 million for the family. I am presently one of the attorneys for family members in the George Floyd. I believe we are at a crossroads in the fight against tyrannical abuse of power by police departments.
How did you build a successful practice?Return clients are directly related to my success. I believe that clients appreciate it when they know you have done your best to fight for their rights and entitlements.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?Someone they feel they can trust. Most people have a negative view of attorneys so it is my job to demonstrate to them through my actions that I have integrity, tenacity, a track record of success and put their interests above my own.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?It is very important that I have the knowledge of how things are done in the local community. It breeds successful results and speeds up the process of obtaining justice for my clients.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?I provide a free consultation to explain what a potential clients rights are.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?In order to provide good advice in a free consultation I need to be provided all pertinent and relevant facts.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?I place my clients cause above my convenience and compensation.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?Being able to make a difference in people’s lives and fight for equal justice.
What are your other interests in addition to law?My other interests are music, kickboxing and philosophy.
Are you involved in your community?I am involved in supporting non-profits that help those less fortunate and have given over $50 thousand for scholarships for people of color.
