Not someone you should involve yourself with

Maria Bates claims to be an attorney and works with family law. Unfortunately she does not treat her own family in the same manner. She represents to the public I am the birth mother of her children who we both parented, and she proceeded to tell me every detail about certain legal processes and peop...le that she was helping as a lawyer, and as somebody who is certified for the Bar, I do believe that you are not allowed to disclose your clients information to another person on top of that, Maria claims to help families, but refused to report her own son, claiming that he had been sexually abused by her boyfriend

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
