About

My practice is a combination of legal transactional (as listed), dispute resolution (pre-litigation), litigation oversight (litigation handled by Streeter & Nangano (http://www.lacounsel.com)), and business consulting (I don't address the business consulting here as it involves non-legal).  My extensive contract drafting, prior litigation background, and varied business experience allows me to deliver to clients unique value. My drafting is not with the usual "legalese", but is done in a way non-attorneys can understand.  The agreements I negotiate and draft are as part of a client's team, and from someone who knows what it is like to operate a business so I take into consideration the non-legal business factors and objectives as well.I also bring the added plus of connections to my personal network to help a client accelerate their business objectives.  I look upon myself as part of a client team.  That network encompasses multiple disciplines including legal (specialty areas), financial, business, and support services.  Also included in the network is a powerful sub-network of proven vendors to help save you time and bring you value, from printers, to marketers, to security protection ... you name it.  Thus, my objective is to help my clients meet not just their legal objectives, but their business ones as well.   I can't guarantee results.  But I can guarantee promptness, constant communication, incredible client service, and doing my utmost to bring value to you and your business.

I contacted Michael hoping to get a question answered in regards to a contract that I was confused on. I did not expect anyone to answer considering it was after hours and fully planned to leave a message with a return phone number. To my surprise Michael himself answered the phone (while at a sports event) and advised me to email my contract to him and he would review it. I did send it to him pretty late that night and by 7:30 am the next day, he had an answer for me! I found this to be refreshing and completely awesome! I will forever use his services when/if I or a member of my family needs representation. Thank You Michael!!!

Mr. Coates have proven to be most valuable to our companies, his honesty, integrity, and professionalism set him apart and inspire a working trust relationship. We have worked with Mr. Coates several times over the past eight years. On occasions when we have a legal question or matter that is outside of his level of knowledge or expertise, he is quick to refer us to another attorney who can help us. When he is tasked with a project for us, he gets his assignments completed on-time and reasonably priced. Rare qualities in an attorney. We will continues to forward projects to Mr. Coates as the need arise, and in business it always does.

I’ve worked with Michael on various projects. On one, Michael was hired to come up with a solution to a problem with a general partnership where one of the group had to quickly get out on property we owned in Nicaragua. Michael came up with the plan and prepared most of documents. Michael’s approach, tact and skill not only got the job done, but helped us turn what we thought was a disaster into a process that allowed us to maintain our personal friendships. For that we are truly grateful.

Our business is outsource sales/marketing management of national sales networks. As CEO of SalesPower, I retained Michael to draft all sales process documentation, which included agreements for referral and strategic partners, independent sales agents, master sales agents, sales manuals, and clients. We received constant praises about how complete, fair, and easy to understand they were. Michael's contribution to our customer negotiations made many deals possible by his creative approach to contract issues. Michael also did a stellar job handling the contract management as well. Michael is one heck of a negotiator, business advisor, and has an amazing vendor network that helped us a great deal. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Michael drafted and helped me negotiate six new contracts for major tobacco manufactures. Michael’s work is extremely impressive. He is incredibly prompt, responsive, thorough, and his contracts are easy to understand by non-attorneys like me. He brought a business eye not just a legal one to my objectives, resulting in contracts that will get my company more money and protections for a lot longer time. I have never had a better experience with an attorney.

MBW is a 55-year old custom truck body manufacturer. Michael prepared our employee manual, handles our significant contracts like our property lease, and more. He brought in training for personnel (paid for by the State which he found), researched and found our timekeeping solution, and even brought us our new CPA, computer and other vendors who have all been fantastic. He is also now working with us to develop our long and short term strategic plans because of his business skills.I recommend you talk to Michael about your business objectives, not just your legal ones, and see how he can help you like he helped us.

Michael's contribution to our customer negotiations made many deals possible by his creative approach to contract issues. Michael also did a stellar job handling the contract management as well. Michael is one heck of a negotiator, business advisor, and has an amazing vendor network that helped us a great deal. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Michael drafted and helped me negotiate six new contracts for major tobacco manufactures. Michael’s work is extremely impressive. He is incredibly prompt, responsive, thorough, and his contracts are easy to understand by non-attorneys like me. He brought a business eye not just a legal one to my objectives, resulting in contracts that will get my company more money and protections for a lot longer time. I have never had a better experience with an attorney.

I contacted Michael hoping to get a question answered in regards to a contract that I was confused on. I did not expect anyone to answer considering it was after hours and fully planned to leave a message with a return phone number. To my surprise Michael himself answered the phone (while at a sports event) and advised me to email my contract to him and he would review it. I did send it to him pretty late that night and by 7:30 am the next day, he had an answer for me! I found this to be refreshing and completely awesome! I will forever use his services when/if I or a member of my family needs representation. Thank You Michael!!!

Mr. Coates have proven to be most valuable to our companies, his honesty, integrity, and professionalism set him apart and inspire a working trust relationship. We have worked with Mr. Coates several times over the past eight years. On occasions when we have a legal question or matter that is outside of his level of knowledge or expertise, he is quick to refer us to another attorney who can help us. When he is tasked with a project for us, he gets his assignments completed on-time and reasonably priced. Rare qualities in an attorney. We will continues to forward projects to Mr. Coates as the need arise, and in business it always does.

I’ve worked with Michael on various projects. On one, Michael was hired to come up with a solution to a problem with a general partnership where one of the group had to quickly get out on property we owned in Nicaragua. Michael came up with the plan and prepared most of documents. Michael’s approach, tact and skill not only got the job done, but helped us turn what we thought was a disaster into a process that allowed us to maintain our personal friendships. For that we are truly grateful.

Michael's contribution to our customer negotiations made many deals possible by his creative approach to contract issues. Michael also did a stellar job handling the contract management as well. Michael is one heck of a negotiator, business advisor, and has an amazing vendor network that helped us a great deal. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Michael drafted and helped me negotiate six new contracts for major tobacco manufactures. Michael’s work is extremely impressive. He is incredibly prompt, responsive, thorough, and his contracts are easy to understand by non-attorneys like me. He brought a business eye not just a legal one to my objectives, resulting in contracts that will get my company more money and protections for a lot longer time. I have never had a better experience with an attorney.

MBW is a 55-year old custom truck body manufacturer. Michael prepared our employee manual, handles our significant contracts like our property lease, and more. He brought in training for personnel (paid for by the State which he found), researched and found our timekeeping solution, and even brought us our new CPA, computer and other vendors who have all been fantastic. He is also now working with us to develop our long and short term strategic plans because of his business skills.I recommend you talk to Michael about your business objectives, not just your legal ones, and see how he can help you like he helped us.
