While working out of town I ran into a situation that John Bateman and Scotty Robertson helped me through from start to end. I was pulled over for a DUI and knew no one from the area. I then found John's website and took a shot in the dark with a call to his office. I work six days a week and very bu...

Excellent customer service
I sought out Bateman Law for a case, and I could not have been more impressed. Scotty was extremely helpful in explaining the process, and very friendly too. The case was fully dismissed, so I was pleased about that.

Top Notch and skilled
My college friend got into a bad situation so we researched for a DUI specific attorney. Mr. Bateman's credentials and advanced training were the deal breaker after chatting with a few other firms. Great choice as the process was handled without a hiccup and he was so nice during the process. My pal ...

A Life Saver!!!
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 p...

John Charles Bateman's Lawyer Endorsements
"John Bateman is one of the hardest working attorneys I know. He studies the statutes, police reports, and police videos on every case. In addition he goes the extra mile to learn DUI specific evidence such as breath testing, field sobriety tests, and the science of alcohol and drugs in the human body. When looking for a DUI attorney for yourself or a loved one, you should ask what training that attorney has and how much legal education on DUI they take each year."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"John is a successful criminal defense attorney blessed with the natural ability to convey his legal wisdom in a way that is easy to understand and very down to earth. I personally have witnessed John generously sharing his criminal defense case strategies with other lawyers on state and national levels. In fact, he was recently selected as a key note speaker in a conference for both NC and SC attorneys. As a fellow attorney in SC practicing criminal defense, I trust John's advice on tough legal matters. If you are seeking a DUI and/or criminal defense attorney in the Greenville, SC area, I highly recommend John and his team of hard workers."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a skilled and dedicated advocate for his clients. I would gladly recommend him for any criminal defense or DUI matter."
"Mr. Bateman has the experience and knowledge to represent his client’s interests in the areas of DUI. DUI is perhaps the most technical area of criminal law in SC and Mr. Bateman is extremely knowledgeable about those very technical aspects of the law. Mr. Bateman will provide you with excellent representation on your DUI issue."
"John is a diligent and intelligent attorney that zealously represents his clients. He is an excellent communicator who is not afraid of the courtroom. I highly recommend John for anyone who needs a great attorney to protect their rights in criminal defense, DWI, and DUI matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. If you or a loved one need help, call John!"
"I worked with Mr. Bateman for a number of years while teaching a trial advocacy class. I wholeheartedly refer clients in need of DUI and DWI defense services to Mr. Bateman. There are very few attorneys that I know that will spend the time and resources he does to prepare cases and advocate on behalf of clients."
"Mr. Bateman and I worked together at Furman University, helping with the Mock Trial Program. I know him to be smart, honest, and diligent, and I am proud to call him my friend."
"John is a hard working attorney dedicated to his clients."
"Respected in the legal community. Hard working, dedicated, and willing to help clients. Has a wonderful staff. Bill Powers Powers McCartan, PLLC charlotte, nc [email protected]"
"John is one of lawyers that cares about his clients. He goes the extra mile to make a difference rather than simply collect a fee. He places his clients interest first. I am pleased to endorse this lawyer."
"Great attorney and great person. Extremely knowledgeable and can guide with expert advice. John truly cares about his clients and is committed to zealous representation."
"As West Virginia's only exclusive DUI Defense Lawyer, and having worked with DUI attorneys all over our country, coupled with serving in leadership roles with two prominent national Dui defense organizations, I can say without hesitation, John Bateman is on my short list of the go to DUI Attorneys in South Carolina."
"I highly recommend John as an attorney. John is not only very hardworking and knowledgeable in his practice, but was also the instructor for a NHSTA DWI / DUI Standardized Field Sobriety Test class in Atlanta, GA, which I attended."
"I endorse this lawyer. John has a persuasive presence with juries. That coupled with his command of DUI law makes him formidable with law enforcement and prosecutors."
"John is a dedicated advocate with the training, knowledge, and experience necessary in a DUI defense attorney. We attended NHTSA training courses in the Atlanta area together. If you want an attorney with the advanced training necessary to pick apart the prosecution's case, John's the attorney you're looking for."
"John Bateman is my absolute go to peer in the legal field when it comes to questions about DUI. His knowledge is second to none and he has an innate ability to convey to clients what really matters in their cases. As a fellow attorney, I highly recommend John to anyone in the SC or NC areas who are looking for superior legal representation when facing a DUI charge."
"John is an excellent DUI attorney. He has received the same field sobriety test training as all police officers in the State, and also the same training as the people who are the instructors of the police officer training courses on field sobriety tests. He is very passionate about DUI's and I recommend him often to people who are facing serious charges in the upstate area."
"I am happy to endorse John. He is a dedicated advocate with tremendous knowledge and DUI defense is his passion."
