Review Richard Batelman

Expectations Exceeded regarding Consultation, Representation

Attorney Richard Batelman and his staff not only met but exceeded my expectations. Having been introduced to his office via referral by the Brooklyn Bar Association, I too would now highly recommend him and his support staff. Both the strengths and weaknesses of my rent-dispute case were explained, thereby allowing me to weigh the risks against the potential rewards of going to full trial versus settling. Subsequent to an agreement by both adversarial parties on terms to resolve our dispute, Batelman remained engaged throughout the follow-through process to ensure that the agreed-upon terms were properly enacted. In conclusion, Batelman and his staff impressed me as professional, knowledgable and cordial. My experience was a positive one.

We hired Mr. Batelman to help us mediate with and eventually evict one of the worst tenants we have ever seen. He not only gave sound advice, but was also responsive to our every need---which was often! He stayed in constant contact via phone, text and email. He kept us up-to-date with every drama this tenant created. He is honestly the best attorney we have ever dealt with. You can tell he takes pride in what he does.

I went to Richard for advice about representing myself in a lawsuit that had gone on for two years. In an hour he clarified the most relevant legal issues, untangled some half-baked ideas of my own that were misleading me, and gave me the knowledge and confidence to resolve the matter in a 15 minute phone call with the plaintiff. On another occasion he went out his way to get referrals for me to reliable attorneys I needed for an out-of-state matter, even though he would not be handling the case. I recommend Richard without reservation. As an advisor, he is especially good at explaining legal theories to non-lawyers.

The Counselor is very attentive and available. Put people before profit by being on top of the issue at hand. My wife and I always had a sense of security and safety knowing that we were in good hands. Was very proactive not reactive....steps ahead in court. Great knowledge of the system was never taken by surprise. Our issue was settled to our favor. Would call on again and recommend without hesitation or reservation.

I am not easily impressed, especially when it comes to lawyers, but Richard exceeded my expectations above and beyond. With his knowledge, experience, and care he made the most stressful time in my life, divorce, smooth-sailing and pain-free. I strongly recommend him to you, as I would to family and friends.

I got him searching online and I will say that he is very aggressive, smart landlord tenant lawyer and very reasonably with his fee. He exceeded my expectations and he got me a great deal in housing court.

Excellent Lawyer
