I cannot say enough good things about the amazing job John has done for me. I called him on a Saturday, in a full blown panic, expecting to get an answering machine. Much to my surprise, he actually answered the phone and took my call while at home! Not only did he take my call, he stayed on the phone with me for 45 minutes outlining everything we needed to accomplish at our first meeting, and assuring me that my life was not over. His fee was very fair and his payment plan was super easy and affordable! John was very personable when we met in person. He is very well versed on the law and was able to immediately come up with a plan. The end result was better than I had ever imagined! Thanks to John, I don't have a DUI on my record. There may be many different DUI attorneys in town, but John, BY FAR, is the absolute best!

I most certainly rate John Bateman with 5 stars. He is by far the best lawyer that i have ever met hands down. He is on top of his game at all times, making sure he keeps you informed along the way while awaiting your court date. He is a great lawyer that you will find knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and honest. He is a outstanding man that will be on your side and fight for you every step of the way. He is most certainly different than any other lawyer I've had to deal with or met in my life, and by different I mean he actually cares about you and what your situation may be. He don't just look as you as another case and more money, he sees you as a person and genuinely cares enough to want to do his best for you as his client. I would recommend choosing John Bateman as lawyer to anybody and everybody out there that is in need of legal advice or representation.

First off, the very few individuals that left negative reviews most certainly either have a brain tumor that is impeding any rational cognition or require a 72 hour psych evaluation to elucidate whichever mental disorder of which they have been afflicted. John Bateman’s excellence as an attorney is unprecedented and unrivaled. He is literally MAGIC. I walked into his office with a DUI charge, and I walked out with an expunged record. At a very young age, he has reached tremendous heights of success, yet he remains as humble as a servant. John Bateman saved my life. I would take a bullet for this man. If he needed a kidney transplant, I would volunteer BOTH of mine. If you are facing a DUI, there is only one choice .... John Bateman. He is worth a million times more than he charges. If DUI’s were cancer, John Bateman would be the cure..... end of story. ( His staff, Scotty and KC are amazing as well).

Our family had a FIRST time situation that required legal counsel. We were so worried as to whom we would hire. BUT once we found out about Bateman Law Firm we knew right then that Mr. Bateman would be our choice. Mr. Bateman has the experience and knowledge of the judicial system that is needed when you have to go to court. Our family was scared to death not knowing what all to expect. But, after our first meeting we were highly impressed and knew we had chosen the right Attorney. Mr. Bateman was very professional and his concerns for our situation were very genuine. Mr. John Bateman was very successful in getting the outcome we needed. My nephew's first response was .... Thank You Jesus.... and he added Mr. Bateman .. IS THE MAN I love him. Last, but not least, Kaycee, his Paralegal was our OUTSTANDING go between. We would highly recommend the John Bateman Law firm to anyone in need of legal services.

From the Sunday in April that I met Scotty until December 12th, John, Kaycee, and Scotty were wonderful. Any questions or concerns that I had they were a email, phone call, or text away. All three were “chill” and understanding of the situation. The 3 seemed to care. Will definitely hire again if a situation arises. Will definitely promote their company.

Bateman and group are very professional and always willing to help. They took time out of their vacation to take my calls and help me when I needed it most. Highly recommend!

I spoke with several attorneys prior to deciding on John (Bateman). John has a man at his firm named Scotty that is essentially an in-house consultant on DUI matters. His background as a DUI and drug SC officer impressed me. After hiring the firm, I did not have to lift a finger until my court date. I had several questions related to my charges in the interim (I had switched jobs between the arrest and court date) and the firm did an excellent job of promptly answering my questions. I know several people like to talk about results/court outcomes when choosing a lawyer but I do not think that is a good way to choose a lawyer (as the facts of each case are different). However, the Bateman Law Firm was able to overturn my suspension for refusing to blow AND reduce my charges from DUI/Hit&Run to Reckless Driving. I’m sure this is not the case with everyone, but I certainly did not expect that outcome given the facts of my case. They have one hell of a team.

I want to thank everyone at the Bateman Law Firm for that they did for me! They were very helpful and patient. Words can not describe how great they are. If your looking for a group that are kind, make you feel comfortable, and extremely knowledgeable they are right for you.

I appreciated the flat rate fee, and was very pleased with the service. It was professional, respectful and super-efficient. I had three charges against me, and all charges were dropped on my first court hearing. I think, without any doubt, my fate would have been much worse had I not hired The Bateman Firm. There was also a comfortable personal connection I had with the attorney, the consultant, and the paralegal, even if only in email, which was very comforting during a very stressful time.
