Eric Artell Bates

Receive dui, hired Eric Bates attorney. The court offered a plea deal, and without looking at it, he said take it. I still had to serve time in jail. If he couldn't help with the sentencing, he should have refunded some of my money. If you have a license in another state and get a DUI in Kentucky, do...n't use Eric Bates.

Mr. Bates did not make half of the scheduled court hearings while I was incarcerated. He did not even attempt to have a bond hearing until 90 days of sitting in jail. I had a third party pay my attorney fees and he broke confidentiality by sharing sensitive information. This attorney’s fees are base...d on a sliding scale of what he thinks his client can pay. He will not provide any kind of agreement to protect you from excessive fees or in the event he decides he wants to stop representing you.

Facing the law from the other side after being a Police Officer 20 years ago, Eric Bates was recommended to represent me. I was not disappointed. Even during the pandemic, Eric was tirelessly working on my behalf. He stayed in contact. He was honest with me, and gave me the worst and best case scenar...ios. And then preceded to deliver. I can't imagine going through all of this with another lawyer.

I had an attorney before Eric and it was a terrible experience. My case at the time got settled. Once it got brought back to life, I was really strict on calling attorney's and meeting with different ones. I probably met 4 attorneys and called 3 others before finally meeting Eric. I hired him, and I ...have yet to be disappointed by anything that has happened thus far. He is laid back, respectful (to all parties) and just all around a great lawyer!! Highly recommend.
