Who We Are

Bates Legal Advocates is a boutique South Florida firm built on preparation, hard work, and a relentless commitment to clients. Led by attorney John Bates, Bates Legal Advocates brings big-firm experience into a focused, results-driven environment. John trained under some of the most respected lawyers in South Florida, securing millions in settlements for his clients before founding the firm. That mentorship and experience shaped our approach: strategic case development, honest communication, and high-level advocacy for individuals facing injuries, hardship, harassment, or financial pressure. We serve clients throughout Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade—taking on a limited caseload cases at a time to ensure each client receives the attention, accessibility, and dedication they deserve.

Our Promise

At Bates Legal Advocates, we promise to treat your case with the urgency, respect, and dedication it deserves. You will always have direct access to your attorney, clear communication, and honest guidance at every step. We limit our caseload so your matter receives real attention—not rushed or overlooked. We fight aggressively against insurers, landlords, and corporations, and we build every case with a strategy tailored to your life, your needs, and your goals. Our commitment is simple: focused advocacy, transparent advice, and unwavering support until your case is resolved.
