Winnie Bates was my attorney for a messy case. I am a father that went to court for a custody case in Williamson county. Did you read that right? a father and in Williamson county, the two hardest things to be when fighting against a mother. She assured me everything would be good and she would get this all taken care of. So i retained her that same day of talking and herself and staff began to work magic. Long story short no amount of money equals the amount of relief knowing your getting what you pay for and the outcome you could only hope to have. I went to court and got FULL CUSTODY of my children and i'm more then grateful to have Winnie in my corner. Without her i believe the outcome would have ended badly for me. Shes very knowledgeable and the type that doesn't mess around straight to the point when it comes to facts and doesn't sugar coat anything. I now believe i have gained a life long friend from Winnie and will refer her to anyone i run across. Good luck to anyone that's going to custody court and the outcome without Winnie bates i believe your making a mistake take my advice and hire her. Thank you and your staff for everything.

Winnie was very good at exposing my batterer for who he really was in a deposition. A psycniatrist looked at her deposition and said "This guy displays the traits of a sociopath."

If you are going through a highly contested divorce and custody battle look no further, Winnie is who you NEED to hire!!! Winnie and her staff were always extremely responsive, they truly cared about me and my child's future. Every bit of advice she and her staff gave you should take, they have seen it all. If you end up at trial like me, I will ensure you her cross examination is second to none. Winnie's execution, delivery and speed was better than you have seen on any movie or TV show, she hung him out to dry. I was facing the potential of losing everything so those moments of her cross examination are instilled forever, it was the relief that I so desperately needed after over 7 months of pure hell. If you are in a situation like me to see that happen was worth every single penny. He was lying and Winnie was able to proof it and pull the carpet right beneath his feet. I would also advise she handle your decree and living will, etc. after the fact. In the end Winnie was able to prove to the court all the lies and convince the judge beyond a reasonable doubt that our child's best interest was with me. I could not have been any happier with the results and though money was an issue for me because Winnie is not cheap, figure it out, borrow, use credit cards do whatever you have to do, your child's life can never be discounted. I will be paying for the rest of my life but in the end my child's life is worth far more to me than any amount of money. Winnie is your girl, hire her today, any team she is on is a winning team go get it!

We relocated to Texas from Kentucky had a little run in with the law. We needed an experienced attorney fast!! We didn't know anyone or anything about the area so we searched the web and four Winnie Bates. We picked her just by her review's alone. And boy are we so very glad we did!!! She is an amazing woman, and a perfect attorney for our needs. She saved us from ever having to go to court and got the case dismissed!! Thank you Winnie Bates YOUR THE BEST!!!!
We live back home in Kentucky now with no plans to ever return to Texas.

I found myself much at ease right after the first meeting with Winnie Bates. Winnie Bates helped me navigate through the divorce process with much confidence thanks to her decades of experience in family law. I am happy with the results, and would recommend her very much. With Winnie Bates, you don’t only get an excellent legal mind, but a voice of compassion and friendliness that’s so sorely needed during these times.

Winnie helped me with my divorce. She answered all my questions and concerns. I can't thank her enough. Would highly recommend.

My experience was very professional when did everything she said she was going to do when she said she was going to do it and was very spot-on with any questions I had and was very good at explaining things to me I'm glad I made the choice to go with Winnie it was it was convenient very professional very much on time and pleasing the atmosphere at her office was very comfortable and professional I will seek out Winnie for all my legal needs from here on out and would recommend everyone to consider weenie as their first choice and legal counsel and representation like the other million people that live in Austin I'm very busy and don't have time to search out a little details about everything myself she was very helpful in that and taking care of all my legal needs

Ms. Bates has extensive knowledge of and experience with family law/divorce law. My case was complicated in that I had relocated to Texas while my now ex-spouse resides in North Carolina. She worked well with my NC attorney. She explained all the details and requirements for the best outcome for me. She aggressively pursued my best interests. She kept me well informed. Well worth the money spent. I thought she was so amazing that referred my stepdaughter to her when she was having custody issues with her ex-spouse. My stepdaughter was very impressed with Ms. Bates also and retained her services.

-----------------------
I found Winnie and her staff to be very flexible and accommodating to us! We appreciate her help very much!

Winnie is an outstanding attorney that focuses on her clients first. She is easily accessible at all times, and cares deeply about her clients. She is a true joy to work with and ensures success to the highest level. Do yourself a favor and contact her, she is an absolute blessing!

genuine person and actually cares about her clients god forbid I have another custody battle but if I do she’s going to be my go to. Made something I thought would be extremely hard turn out to be an easy process.. thank you soooooo much Winnie!!

I have connected with Winnie Bates for legal advice on several occasions in the past, but the latest issue was the most complex .

I retained her for my divorce that took a long time to finalize based upon factors outside of her control. I knew she was the right attorney for my divorce based upon my prior years of experience with her. Her character shined during this emotional season of my life. She takes her work seriously, but also has an ability to realize the process is delicate. She balanced both with poise.

At times I wanted to leap forward in the divorce, but she would gently guide me back and give me perspective on how the process comes together.

I highly recommend Winnie Bates based upon her experience, professionalism, and the ability to prioritize and execute at the right time. She communicates well and it is very clear that she is passionate about helping people.

Ms. Bates is an experienced attorney with a strong knowledge base. I contacted her when previous representation had done little to move a relatively simple, uncontested divorce forward. She picked up the case, filed the documents needed, set up arbitration and I realized a better settlement than I had previously expected. It cost a little more and took a little longer, but given the circumstances, understandable. I recommend her.

As a former client I found this attorney misleading, dishonest, and absolutely unworthy of the expense.

I came to Winnie Bates to deal with a driving incident. She answered all questions and was very honest with what to expect and how things would work in court. I would recommend her to all my family and friends.

She is absolutely fantastic. She gave me great legal advice, but then also told me I could take care of my situation by myself. She would gladly represent me, but there was no need too. I really appreciate her honesty, which saved me time and a lot of money. Not a lot of lawyers would do that. She was very professional and helped me understand my options. I would highly recommend her.

Winnie Bates and staff are awesome !
She helped me through a very tough legal time in my life. I do not know where or how I would have ended up if it were not for Winnie and her team. Everyone should be Blessed enough to have someone like Winnie and Company having their back . . . .I can't say enough. . . . . They are like family. Be Blessed Winnie and team. Love You All.

Winnie came highly recommended by a former client who had a highly contested divorce. I also had a very complex, highly contested case. Prior to Winnie I had meet with and spoken to around 5 other attorney's before I decided to choose her. Winnie took the time to listen to my story, asking questions along the way and providing feedback. She was able to answer all of my questions and was very straight forward with my expected outcome. I felt very comfortable with Winnie and I knew she had me and my child's best interest at heart. To me her knowledge and experience is second to none and that is what you need when your looking to win a case. Take the time and spend the money on the consult, its worth your time and money.

The main reason I knew Winnie was right for me is because her staff as well as herself had the eagerness to help me resolve my child custody case. I loved the fact that Winnie was always available and if busy she immediately returned my call or email. I’m very pleased with the services provided and the peace of mind I’ve been given going forward with the outcome of my legal issue. She is the BEST and I will continue to refer her going forward.

Winnie was very helpful and answered all of my questions with patience.

Attorney Bates is extremely responsive and gets the job done right! She is very understanding and her staff is great!

I went to Winnie to get my will completed; something I had put off for years. She made the process so easy. She even thought of things I hadn't. That's what I appreciated. She anticipated my needs and exceeded my expectations. She is very down to earth, friendly and most importantly... customer centric! I even sent my friends and coworkers to her because I was confident she would do the same for them.

I have known Winnie Bates before she ever got involved with the legal profession. I was an insurance agent in Round Rock for 32 years and have retired. she has always been one of the determined ladies I ever met. When I first met her, she was a single parent raising her child and she was determined to always be something more than what she was at the time. She worked for years with a justice of the peace and then decided to go to law school. I trust her implicitly and refer my close friends to her who need help that is within her work experience. My children and best friends have used her and always felt they were treated fairly and professionally. I have a great deal of respect for her judgement, legal skills and advice. Michael Lewis Moore

Highly professional....

Winnie and staff are amazing! I came in with a complicated case and huge file to review. She took the time to listen to my wants needs and review everything (which was a lot!). She was great about answering any questions I had and I felt very comfortable and confident the entire time. Winnie was able to fix everything and get the exact custody orders I was hoping for!
