"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is an intelligent, good-humored, knowledgeable attorney who seems to get along with every lawyer he works with, on both sides. This is remarkable. I have gone to mediation and arbitration with Dan as the mediator/arbitrator and found him to be someone who works incredibly hard to reach a fair result for all concerned. That isn't easy, but thanks to his extensive knowledge of family law, and the human psyche, he was been able to achieve it. He somehow manages all the drama with gentle humor and respect for everyone who comes before him."

"I highly recommend Dan Bates as a mediator and arbitrator. I have observed Dan Bates' skilled mediation in many family law disputes. He has the ability to effectively and efficiently resolve difficult and seemingly intractable matters. All the while, he is patient and respectful with the parties and attorneys, making them comfortable in a typically tense situation. Dan does so with ease, kindness and reasonableness. His skills are beyond compare. He is also an amazing and interesting person who plays in a Rock and Roll band."
