David was very helpful in my divorce. Although he could not represent me in a civil court while he was still active duty, he was very instrumental in providing direction and materials to assist in an amicable resolution.

"I have known David for several years and have found him to be both knowledgable and hardworking in defending his clients. He truly fights for their best interests and gives his all for each and every client. David is hard working, approachable and dedicated to the legal field."
"David is a very good attorney, but he's a better man. His passion is for the law and for serving the least among us. I admire his commitment to the community, and his desire to do right by his clients. As a practitioner, David is professional, detailed, and a pleasure to deal with. He will fiercely advocate his position without being discourteous or demeaning toward the other side. I wholly endorse David."
"David Coates is the consummate legal professional who takes the time, attention and care to truly serve his clients. David brings a wealth of experience to the table and has a tremendous knowledge and appreciation for both simple and complex estate planning whether it encompasses the "traditional" family, blended families, or planning for the non-citizen spouse. As a veteran of the United States Army, David truly understands "service before self" and seeks to embody that principle in his civilian legal practice."
