Knowlegable and fair

Contrary to prior reviews I found Mr. Battino to be one of the best lawyers I have ever dealt with. To keep his fees down he suggested I do some of the investigative work myself. I was being sued and Mr. Battino was able to procecute a countersuit. I came out the winner, getting back everything I ...had paid plus his legal fees.

rude, abrupt, unhelpful

I called this guy upon recommendation of a lawyer colleague. He rejected my case after reviewing the docket, without giving me a chance to explain what I was looking for and how I hoped he could help me. he wouldn't even explain why. His loss.

Dishonest and untrustworthy

Mr. Battino was hired to get squatters who claimed they had a lease for the previous owners of a property I purchased. He advised me against just calling the police in order to charge me thousands for eviction services I did not need and dragged his feet so he could charge me more. He called me all k...inds of horrible names when I questioned his bill and represented another client on the same day as my court date so that he didn't show up for even the mandatory arbitration and charged me for 3 hours for that. It turned out he was working for the other side as well. This is a horrible dishonest "attorney."
