Dedicated and caring

I hired Mr. Bates for a personal injury case for myself and my daughter. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of and had nothing to worry about except making a full recovery. I can't thank him enough for the professional, yet personal way he handled our case. If you're in ...need of a personal injury or worker's comp attorney, I highly recommend you call Mr. Bates.

Great lawyer, great passion

I hired Mr.Bates for my personal injury case. He was very compassionate and on top of my case from the get go. Got exactly what I expected from my case and then some. Hire Paul if you want a lawyer that truly cares about your case and you as a person.

Personal Injury due to a car accident

I was referred to Paul by a neighbor who is a corporate lawyer. It was the first time in my 40 years of driving that I was in an accident. Paul guided me through the process, assisted with all negotiates with the insurance company of the driver as well as my insurance company since the driver was u...nder insured. Paul has the expertise and the experience to support you in this situation. He was timely in following up on both my physical condition and progress with the insurance companies. I have recommended him it several friends and will continue to recommend him.
