About Thomas Michael Bates

Board-certified civil trial lawyer who has  been practicing law for over 32 years. Admitted to practice in Massachusetts (1988) and in Florida (1990).  "AV" pre-eminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available from the nation's oldest guide to the legal profession for legal ability and ethical standards.

 Member of the American Board of Trial Advocates ("ABOTA") and its Palm Beach chapter. Board-certified by the Florida Bar since 2001 as a specialist in civil trial law. Recertified in 2006, 2011 and 2016. Certification is the highest level of recognition by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida.

"Civil trial" is the field of law that addresses litigation of civil controversies in all areas of substantive law before state and federal courts, administrative agencies and arbitrators. Less than 1% of Florida's 107,000 lawyers are board-certified in civil trial law. As a board-certified civil trial lawyer I have the experience and expertise to handle any type of civil matter from start to finish up to and including trial.

My practice, however, is devoted primarily to the following type of cases: business disputes; personal injury/wrongful death; insurance litigation; and, will & trust litigation.
