Several months ago, I was in the unfortunate position of needing to find a divorce attorney. I made…read morefour appointments with various area law firms (based on Yelp and Google reviews) and then I met with Alison at Bates Family Law. I immediately felt a sense of relief despite the incredible emotional stress I was experiencing. Throughout my divorce case, I was impressed with the efficiency I observed with Alison and every person in her office. Whenever I emailed or called with a question; I received a very quick response. Unfortunately, my case was incredibly complicated for a 15-year marriage without children. Despite the complications, Alison was able to manage my case successfully but I believe it required a professional with her depth of knowledge. Also, the final cost of my case was significantly less than I had estimated, and I am very grateful. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I am confident the result could not have been achieved if I had signed with a different firm. I highly recommend Bates Family Law.

Called the law firm multiple times and was told that they've been no response. That was a lie. A response had been sent, and they just never let me know. The communication was horrible, and when I asked the attorney directly why this was the case, she had no answer, no apology, nor any sort of compensation for her massive mistake. Once I saw this, I decided to not use and warn others over her very unprofessional manner.

I used Kevin & Debbie (Rochester, NY office) for my mediation process. I really would love to give…read morethem 5 stars because Kevin was just a good dude...very knowledgable. Debbie, the paralegal who I only ever consulted with via e-mail, was helpful if lacking a tad of bedside manner. The reason for the drop from 5 to 4 is I felt things were not fairly or adequately explained to me during the mediation process. Now that I'm a year post-mediation, I really wish they had explained more of the Child Support laws - and that we should negotiate & potentially deviate from the state calculator because we were 50/50 custody. Instead, they just signed me up for the full $2,700/mo cost as the higher income earner and sent me packing. I also wish there was more thorough explanation about asset division. He suggested we keep her car loan in my name until the loan matures and just share the cost. Cool. Looks fine on paper, sounded fine in the office - but in reality, now I'm financially tied to my ex for 3-4 more years. I weirdly own her car and have to do her registrations, maintain insurance for her, and all that stuff. I can't imagine this isn't something they experienced before being professional family law specialists. A little education would've gone a long way. I appreciate that they wanted to keep things on the lower end of costs & move us through quickly...but some of these basic things would've been super helpful instead of telling me things to "get it done" that would ultimately be HUGE headaches later on.

That's in addition to the lost custody time and general pain and suffering caused by the illogical and nonsensical terms she wrote into the agreement. During mediation, she definitely favored the other side, so men beware. My requests were quickly dismissed, while my ex's were given weight and preference. End result was an agreement that was comprised almost entirely of my ex's demands. I strongly recommend using an attorney mediator, not one who tells you to buy her book if you wish to understand all the proprietary terms she will throw at you.
