Hired Law firm 2024I highly do NOT recommend Katie Bates as an attorney. I hired her in my case and she legally misled me to believe something that wasn't true, I emailed her law firmed multiple times and got NO response, I called continuously after receiving a drawn up court order from her law firm that was wrong and got no type of communication. Then after the drawn up court order was used against me I decided to terminate her services. I requested my billable hours and she had in fact charged me for the calls that I made, the wrong drawn up court order, and even the FREE consultation. I didn't receive the drawn up court order for a little over 3 weeks after the court appearance. She says that I called multiple times but left no message (which is true). She had no rebuttal for the court order being drawn up super late or that it was wrong neither did she have a rebuttal for the multiple emails I sent that were ignored, but I was charged for them reviewing them. Bates Law Firm put me in a impossible situation and took no accountability after causing so much unnecessary confusion and drama. She made my case about her own personal situation. This Law Firm should not be trusted. Don't walk, RUN far away.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
