Testimonials

it has long been my intent to bring to your attention the absolutely first-class, virtually fault-free performance I have watched from Michael. His commitment to our cause, his detailed research, and in particular his great attention to detail, was an absolute pleasure to watch.

it did not take much knowledge of courtroom proceedings to see that Mike was in control...[he] is a phenomenal trial attorney.

I was surprised, as I suppose anyone would be, to learn that I would be charged with any offence...I have been in the automotive industry for the past twelve years and I consider myself to be someone who operates in integrity...I made a number of calls to locate someone who could assist me and Michael Bates was strongly recommended to me from a different law office in Calgary as he has experience with the Fair Trade Act.

We began in April, 2006 and I was told it could take time but Mr. Bates assured me that it was not unusual to go through a period of motions and a positive conclusion was very possible...Mr. Bates remained confident and in July of 2006, the charges were dropped.

I think Mr. Bates has a good reputation with his opponents...His influence convinced the Crown Prosecutor to drop the issue and I think he even convinced the party fuelling the problem to reconsider as well...

In the end, the fee[s] for services rendered were worth every dollar spent. Mr. Bates was more than fair and is worth taking the time out of a busy day to generate this letter.
