I have had the pleasure of working with Attorney Mitch Coats for both business/real estate law and criminal defense matters, and I can say with confidence that his dedication to his clients is unmatched. Mitch’s commitment to the law and his clients shines through in every aspect of his work. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of business transactions or defending against criminal accusations, he approaches every case with a zealous passion that’s rare to find. In business and real estate dealings, Mitch is thorough and insightful, always ensuring that my interests are protected and my goals are met. His deep understanding of real estate law has provided me with invaluable guidance, allowing me to confidently make decisions and move forward with my business ventures. On the criminal defense side, Mitch’s advocacy is unwavering. Justice can often feel elusive, especially when facing wrongful accusations, but Mitch stands tall and fights for what’s right. His ability to analyze the facts, build a strong defense, and challenge the prosecution’s case will leave you feeling secure in this difficult time. If you need an attorney who will fight for you with integrity, passion, and expertise, look no further than Mitch Coats. His commitment to his clients is second to none, and I am grateful to have him in my corner. Highly recommend!

After we had a shady unregistered contractor cause about $22,000 worth of damage to our property, ate a $3,500 down payment, then completely blow us off back in 2022, we were recommended to this office and Victor Villegas by a family member to help us start a case. We were initially under the impression that Victor was willing and able to help us with our case, but upon our first in-person meeting we were quickly passed off to Joe Southers. Since the contractor that caused the damage was unregistered in the state of Idaho, everyone emphasized to us that he made it really easy to go after him, and that this case was an easy win. We were super excited at this news, seeing as we could not afford to eat an expense like this. They immediately ran into problems with actually getting in touch with the contractor, and paperwork sent to the address we were given by him was refused, so the case came to a screeching standstill before it could even gain any ground. Upon brainstorming what the next steps could be, including a suggestion from us to have a sheriff “serve” the papers, and expressing our willingness to pursue these options at any cost, it was clear Joe was not excited about these options when nothing happened after that. After a couple months it was mentioned that we could do an ad in the paper for a period of time, and let the case go straight to a judge for automatic judgement, in which if the contractor doesn’t show up to court, it’s pretty much an immediate win. Again, we expressed that we would love to pursue this avenue, but again we were given silence on updates. I believe we waited about 6 months to hear from Joe on any updates but correspondence on his end was nonexistent. We eventually called him to ask for any updates and to see if the ad in the paper had ever even happened, to which he pretty much couldn’t remember who we were and which case this was. After we called him to discover he pretty much blew off our case for 6 months, we also received a bill where he charged us for the phone call in which we all but reminded him of who we were, and to do his job. We were also billed for him to “revise” an already completed one-paragraph complaint form to the contractor for two hours…. Between these and the other sometimes questionable lawyer fees we had already had to pay previously, we decided to drop the case. It became extremely clear to us that Joe did not care. We were definitely not a priority for him, and he even seemed very arrogant and upset when we told him we were ready to drop the case after having him string us along for almost a year with absolutely no progress. There was just never anything to show for the next hefty bill from this office. It was after the case was already dropped that we found out Joe was actually able to finally get in contact with the contractor. This was just never at any point mentioned to us. So, we had no idea. The methods at which communication was conducted was either nonexistent or unprofessional, such as finding things out through the grapevine once my family member was told, despite that family member wanting zero involvement in our case outside of the initial introductions. Overall working with Joe was a very expensive waste of time. We never at any point felt he had our best interest at heart.

Some of the best money I ever spent! They gave me exceptional advice that saved me thousands in attorneys fees. They took care of the issue in a way that kept it from escalating into a bigger issue. I will definitely use this office again if I ever have any other legal issues.
