Big John Bates
Attorney
Ex-pro football player Big John Bates now practices law. He led his college team to a 13-3 record and twice won the MVP Award, for the second time in 1994 — which was also the year he graduated from law school. Injuries precluded a promising professional career in football but did not stop him from a successful law career.

Testimonials
“I wasn’t comfortable with my first divorce lawyer. A friend recommended Bates, and I felt from the beginning that he would do the right thing for me and my family. After mediation attempts failed, we had to go to trial. John was sharp and clear in court, and after a difficult and drawn-out trial, we got almost everything we asked for. I dealt with a number of John”s team members throughout this process, and was consistently impressed. He attracts like-minded, bright people who really care.”
Bob Bush
