Working with Mrs. Hennigan at Gates Law as my primary attorney, we had an excellent experience! There was attention to detail, personal attention, and effective results. I really could not have asked for more. We can't expect things to be perfect when we are involved with legal system. When dealing with the courts and other lawyers on our behalf, I know there were factors beyond her control, but Mrs. Hennigan helped the process to feel as under control as possible and remained transparent with every step. Of course, it can always be a messy process, but all in all, I felt that our adoption process

Didn't meet until morning of court- he wasn't prepared, he didn't care. Waste of $450 (which was paid almost 2 months beforehand).
I truly would have been 100% better off had I gone to court by myself

Never use this guy! He told me to plead guilty to all charges! After the cop gave me a DWI on private property.

This has got to be the worst Law Office ever!! I have had a case going on with them for years now, at the beginning they seemed to at least act liked they cared, until they got my money. Ever since them they could care less about getting my case closed. I have contacted them several times, they always send me to someone else. No body knows what they are doing. That place is a JOKE!! Never use them!!

Didn't do much to help me with my case after paying thousands of dollars. After receiving my sentence I tried to reach out to Richard Gates and he laughed in my face and told me that he didn't care and said that I was guilty. I would NOT recommend him to anyone.
