Over the past 3.5 years, Ben Tyree has become our trusted attorney of choice for all 3 of our family businesses. He has represented us as a claimant in civil cases, served as counsel on major commercial property purchases, guided us on asset protection strategies and successfully defended us on employment matters. What sets Ben apart is the fact that he is equally thorough and expedient. His expertise spans multiple industries and areas of law, which has made him our "go-to" person for any questions/issues that arise in the normal course of business. I would highly recommend his services to anyone - and in particular, business professionals who need a trusted legal partner that can operate as a natural extension of their management team.

I was originally assigned to a different lawyer when my case was first submitted back in 2020, but after he left the firm in 2021, I was reassigned to Rebecca Zimmerman, and I couldn't have been happier that she was my new attorney. She was consistently proactive throughout my entire case, and her communication was exceptional from start to finish. She was always following up with me and giving me weekly, if not daily updates during my case. I ended up getting the result I wanted in the end, and she made the process as less stressful as you possibly can while going through a divorce. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a talented and professional lawyer that will always look out for your best interest.

I was very pleased with how Todd A. Knode at Coates and Davenport, P.C. was able to work with the officer and judge to reduce my penalty. I would definitely recommend him if you have received a moving violation in the Richmond area as opposed to trying to represent yourself - especially as an out of state driver. Mr. Knode defended me himself rather than let another lawyer who I hadn’t consulted present my defense before the prosecutor. I appreciated very much the patience with which Mr. Knode explained my options prior to the hearing date. The case was settled favorably out of court and I didn’t have to return to Virginia.

I would like to thank Ben for the excellent time effort he put forth in my CS Case. Ultimatley you need a Counselor able to see things from a different perspective and get to the issue at hand. Ben did this in the most professinal manor and got my case resolved with as little conflict as possible. I made a good choice when I chose Coate, Battle & Tyree. Money well spent. Lance

I have been working with an attorney at Coats and Davenport for the last two years. She has provided my family with great support in very emotional and exhausting situations. My attorney has always been very upfront and honest with my regard my case and keeps me informed in an easily understood manner always. I was recommended to my attorney by a college friend who has also had great results. My experiences with this firm has been wonderful and my attorney truly makes a major difference in the way my case is handled.

Coates and Davenport represented me through a custody matter and a divorce. Ben Tyree and Leslie Grammer were absolutely terrific. I had initially worked with another attorney at this firm who is no longer there and agree with other reviews regarding her representation but will add that it was only that specific attorney and not the firm that was a problem. Ben and Leslie were able to resolve my divorce in about a month when the prior attorney had been working on it for over 3 years.
I would definitely recommend Coates and Davenport to anyone in need of legal services.

I was happy with Coates & Davenport from the very beginning. Mr. Worthington was professional, very nice, and he always made me feel positive through the whole process. I never had a doubt in my mind that the outcome would be anything less than what I wanted. If I had to go through this whole thing again I would use Mr. Worthington and Coates & Davenport again without hesitation. I highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking the services of a lawyer.

I am so delighted to have worked with Ben Tyree, a very professional and pleasant person to work with. He was very detail oriented and easy to talk with. I appreciate all that he did for me. My case had a very great outcome, and I owe it all to Attorney, Ben Tyree. He is the Greatest! I would use him again.

In July 2018 I was arrested for wreckless driving. I knew I was innocent so I needed a reputable lawyer to fight for me. Even though it was just a traffic case, you would of thought she was defending me for mudrder. She took it very seriously and her hard work paid off when my charge got charged. Her prices are fair and she is without a doubt the best lawyer. In the Richmond area. THANK YOU Ericka Battle 🙏

I am so thankful that Mr. Tyree was my attorney during a difficult time when I felt overwhelmed and a bit lost. Professional, reliable, honest, and effective are a few words that come to mind when I think of him. When in need of a caring attorney, call on Mr. Tyree. I felt that he really understood what I was going through, including the personal and financial impact of divorce. If I should need any legal assistance in the future I will not hesitate to call on Coates and Davenport / Mr. Tyree.

I have had the opportunity to work with Ben Tyree on several occassions across a number of issues. Anything from business contracts to reviewing and writing contracts, he is knowledgeable and straight forward in his advice. He is insightful and does not simply tell you what you all know and then sends you a bill. He is smart and hardworking and I would not hesitate to recommend him to business owners. He is especially sensitive and smart on family matters which is his other field of expertise. If you are considering a separation or divorce it is worth your time to speck with Ben. Being a realtor in the Richmond area, Ben has helped my clients with any numbers of concerns and I highly recommend him.

My divorce was finalized recently through Coates & Davenport. Ben Tyree and Leslie Grammer were extremely helpful, efficient and professional. The whole process was straightforward and sequential. Their advice was always timely and insightful.
I would highly recommend Ben and the C & D team.

Ben Tyree and John Moore from Coates and Davenport helped me and my family with a trust issue related to my aunt’s estate in Richmond. I cannot say enough about how much they helped me and how professional they are and I highly recommend them to anyone needing an attorney.

Coates & Davenport helped me with child support for my children and I am very happy with how everything went. My lawyer from Coates and Davenport explained every step along the way. He made sure I knew everything happening and that I understood. He also gave further advice after to ensure that my children will receive what their father is suppose to give to them.

Ben Tyree at Coates and Davenport helped me tremendously with my divorce. He drafted the necessary documents, verified addenda to them, and was instrumental to the process going as smoothly and painlessly as it did. I highly recommend his services!

I would highly recommend this firm over any other firm for legal needs. They range from basic traffic tickets to doing estate planning. Both Ericka Battle and Mike Blanks were exceptionally diligent, professional, and great at following up with me and my family's needs.
