Advocate Financial Services 5100 Northwest 33rd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309

"This review is solely for Mr. David Bates. I was researching how to get out of my timeshare legally online and was contacted by Advocate Financial Services, David Bates. The first 30 minutes of our scheduled phone conversation was informative and somewhat professional despite the condescending vibe I got the entire call from David with his business analogies which I'm guessing is used on most potential clients. During one of his analogies he asked my opinion, after I disagreed with him he said my opinion doesn't matter and there's a reason why I'm stuck in a timeshare. I just couldn't seem to get a word in on this guy during this portion of the call. He kept trying to over talk me when I couldn't event finish a sentence, raising his voice telling me to "be quite". He was very pushy and made me feel like I was illiterate and naive. Quality Control really needs to listen to our recorded conversation. I get it, his job is to link up clients with attorney's that feel they can get Timeshare companies to relinquish contractual obligations. However, when you talk down to people that are vulnerable with no respect, that speaks volumes of the type of service one could expect. The blatant disrespect and lack of professionalism David demonstrated towards me at the end of our phone consultation was a complete shock and undeserving. I would not recommend this company to anyone based off of my experience."

"Advocate Financial Services help me get out of my time share free from the burden thank you David for all your help"

"David Bates is a condescending rude person. We were very excited to work with the attorney he recommended but he would only work with us if we sign right now. We asked to read and look at other options and he said no and hung up when we said we would not sign right now. Don’t call this company or any attorney that works with them. David Bates is a bad representation of sales people."
