He has obtained numerous settlements and verdicts in excess of a million dollars for his clients.

The Ates Law Firm is a boutique personal injury law firm. We are highly selective in the cases we accept so we can devote our full attention to you, our client. If we take your case, we will conduct an in-depth investigation of your accident, identify the negligent party who caused it and bring our fact finding to skillful negotiations with an insurance company to arrange a settlement for you. If discussions are not productive, we will not hesitate to advocate for you in a court of law.
