“Thank you George Yates you helped give my son a chance at life.”
My son was incarcerated, his issue at its core was drugs and alcohol….enter Mr. Yates. There were arraignments, bond hearings, plea deal discussions, rehab, probation, sentence hearings, on and on. It was a long hard road through it all Mr. Yates told the truth to his client and the family, even when at times it was so difficult to hear. Mr. Yates understands the effects of addiction and this helps him know his clients sometimes better than they know themselves. He has a direct style of communication that he explains (he needs to talk and you to listen). He needs you to do your part in the process and be prepared as appropriate. He knows the law and perhaps more importantly he knows the judges and prosecuting attorneys. He was able to leverage his experience and career long relationships that he has built within the system to negotiate and argue for the best outcome available for my son, a felony dropped to a misdemeanor. Thank you George Yates you helped give my son a chance at life.
