This guy took my retainer and do absolutely nothing for me… I see why it shows closed..
This is was definitely a horrible experience. He would set up appointments to call and would never call. Very inconsistent on the process and tried to change my plans on what I wanted done so it’s be less work for him to do. Overall, just would not recommend this guy to represent you.
Bobby Coats is the best. Hands down. Call him for your legal needs

Bobby was my lawyer when he worked over at Ted Smith Law Group in Harker Heights TX. Having Bobby Coats as my lawyer was an absolute disappointment. He was AWOL for most of my case, hardly ever returned phone calls, couldn’t follow through accurately with anything previously discussed and I caught him in numerous inconsistencies the more he talked. It took months and months that dragged into years to do the slightest easiest tasks for my case. When I spoke to Ted about him he was quite surprised with the evidence of dereliction of duty I presented at that time. The icing on the cake was after not hearing from him for months on end, I discovered he up and left the Ted Smith Law Group with no warning and no communication with me his client. Don’t be swayed by his likable personality because that Is about all you can really count on but it don’t pay the bills and it doesn’t get the job done. How I rate this lawyer?very dissatisfied
