Solidly handled my father's injury case

Mr. Yates and his dedicated staff handled my father's auto-pedestrian injury case promptly, with attention to detail, minimal expense, maximum recovery, and showing care to keep the family informed throughout. This made it easier for my father and the family as he recovered from his broken hip. Besid...es that, the people in the firm are just nice people.

Personal Injury Case

Mr. Yates was recommended to us by a friend when we were at our absolute nadir, Our son had been seriously injured in a motor accident. He, and his lovely wife, can to meet with us at the ICU and said he would do all he could to guide us through dealing with the insurance claim process. Despite th...e fact that our 20 year old son was left a permanent paraplegic the responsible driver was woefully underinsured with no other assets so there was minimal financial recovery despite Mr. Yates best efforts. Through the whole process he was concerned, informative, empathetic and explored every avenue to get whatever monetary remuneration for my boy. We are forever grateful for his tender concern for our situation. I'd like to add one of his assistants, Helen, was also very helpful, responsive and compassionate.
