Adam Bates
AttorneyAdam was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. He graduated from Drake University with a Bachelor of Arts degree before earning his Juris Doctor with Distinction from the University of Nebraska College of Law. While in law school, Adam’s empathy and ability to connect with his clients was already evident as he won both a National and International competition in Client Counseling. Since 2011, Adam has been in private practice handling matters in personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, workers’ compensation, construction injuries and disputes, and insurance bad faith litigation. Prior to joining Iowa Lawyers, Adam practiced with an insurance defense law firm where he was a Partner representing large national insurance companies and employers. Adam was known as a fierce advocate for his clients and an extraordinary trial attorney. However, after many years on the defense side, Adam decided it was time to use his talents to help injured Nebraskans. Adam has unique insight into how the defense may view and attempt to attack cases, allowing him to better serve his current clients. His experience in the courtroom and sterling trial record also mean that opposing attorneys know Adam will not back down from taking a case to trial. Outside of the office, Adam enjoys spending time with his family and two young children. He especially enjoys golfing, running, hiking, and biking. Adam is and always will be a lifelong Nebraska Cornhusker fan and a Green Bay Packer fan. Court Admissions:
