"Great lawyer that will go to bat for you, and stay with you for the long haul. Joe Yates helped us win our auto accident case involving a trucking company and a hard fought legal settlement.  He even checked in on my son to make sure his annuity payments were delivered on time, nearly 14 years after the case was settled! That's a level of service that is absolutely unheard of."  - C.B.

"Joe I want to thank you for everything you did for my family and me after I was hit while on duty riding my patrol motorcycle.  The crash caused more than just the injuries I sustained.  There was stress, anxiety and hardships my family went through while I was on the road to recovery.  From the beginning you treated me and my family with the upmost respect and patience while navigating the legal and medical roads.  Your professionalism and genuine caring got us through the legal process and because of you we have recovered financially and mentally, putting this crash behind us.  I will always recommend you to anyone that needs help."  - M.B.

"Thank you, Joe.  My son and I, and our family, owe untold gratitude to Joe for his care and attention to my son’s litigation stemming from years of abuse at the hands of an entrusted school teacher.  From the very beginning of our ordeal and throughout his time representing my son and me, Joe was our biggest supporter, championing the very best outcome for my son.  More than anything else, Joe believed us and provided us with heartfelt care and guidance at one of the most difficult times our family has faced.  

By way of background, my son was born with severe Down Syndrome, a condition that markedly affects his cognitive level and has resulted in a number of physical health challenges and has rendered him non-verbal.  

Joe was one of the first people to help me realize that I wasn’t the bad person in this situation, and that while my son had suffered, the responsible person was his teacher.  Joe was passionate about supporting my son; took the time to get to know him; to learn how to communicate with him given his non-verbal status and to recognize that my son’s cognitive level wasn’t a roadblock to taking action.  Joe crafted our litigation strategy to honor my son’s challenges, celebrate his wondrous being and ensure that he was afforded the greatest level of justice.  

My son has a special bond with Joe, and Joe is part of our family now.  As I search for words to express the depth of my appreciation for Joe, I am reminded how people come into our lives and change us forever.  This is Joe for us – our hero and our friend.  Joe’s professionalism and empathy for his clients is remarkable.  He is a compassionate, skilled counselor, and I recommend Joe in the highest possible terms."  - S.C.
