Fights for his clients!

Mr. Gates and his team are honest and so easy to work with. Glen showed me so much compassion and understanding with my case from day one! When I called his office for the first time I was completely lost on where to start and who to trust, but Glen and his friendly staff were compassionate and... patient during such a stressful and confusing time for me. Glen’s entire team, from his receptionist team to his paralegal, Kacie , were extremely experienced, professional and friendly. Each time I contacted Glen’s office he and his staff gave me their complete attention and my questions were answered completely and accurately with zero time wasted. Mr. Gates and his team communicated, with clarity, exactly which personal legal information they needed from me in order for my case to move forward as quick as possible. Mr. Gates was also knowledgeable with all of the laws/rules of family law.which gave us the upper hand in negotiating with opposing counsel. I am so grateful I hired Gates Law to fight for me and I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a good divorce attorney.

Honest and informative

We met to discuss an already paid levy problem that the bank was still charging interest on even though we had paid. Mr. Gates gave us free advice even though our 30 minutes went over to save us money instead of charging $350 an hour he advised us how exactly we could do a simple certified letter wit...h precise law code & language. He gave us advice on another potential business debt issue without charge we really appreciate his honesty and generosity with his expertise and time without charging us. We definitely will return to him for our future law issues.

Sound advisor

I met with Glen briefly to discuss the CA divorce process. An overview of the law, what to expect, etc. I found him to be extremely knowledgable of the law, practical in his approach to negotiating, and logical when describing spousal separation goals for kids, assets and income. I'm hoping I don't h...ave to hire him in the end, but would definitely do so if the need arose.

Glen E. Gates

Glen is a great lawyer. He is honest and tells you what you need to have a successful 0utcome while still treating you with respect. My bankruptcy was complicated and he always took the time to make sure that I understood all the paperwork. He was always on time for our appointments and court date...s. Bankruptcy is not an easy thing to go through but with Glen representing me I was able to walk away with my dignity.
