Thomas Raymond Bateski

Mr. Bateski represented me back in 2008 before I knew of this website. It was a serious matter. My dad had a friend who recommended Mr. Bateski We had a few meetings discussing the case and law. My situation was explained to me. I was left to make my own choices. He stated that he had to be prepar...ed to go to trial regardless of what happens during the hearings. He was competent in court. He represented me and protected my rights in court and phone calls with the judge and DA. Ultimately, my case was not prosecuted so we never started a trial and I cannot comment on his work in trial. This other reviewer talking about anxiety is not like what I remember. I would not call him the worst lawyer as that reviewer did. Since we didn't go to trial he refunded most of his retainer. His retainer was very reasonable in the first place. I think he charged much less than other lawyers would've charged.

I received a speeding citation 2 years ago in GA while driving from FL back home to NC. Without knowing all my rights I paid the fine because I was out of state. About 3 months later I was sent a second fine for the same ticket (super speeder fine). Again, I was out of state and unfortunately just p...aid the ticket. Then GA finally got around to notifying my home state about the citation almost two years after the fact and they sent me a notice that my drivers license was being revoked for 6 mths. Mr. Bateski advised me very well and worked with the court in GA on my behalf. Ultimately, Mr. Bateski got the original citation vacated in GA, which saved my license in NC. I am so grateful for his dedication, speed with handling my case and responsiveness. I hope to never need an attorney again, but if I do he will be the one!

MR. BATESKI IS THE WORST LAWYER TO GET. ALTHOUGH HE IS CHEAP, HE HAS ANXIETY ISSUES AND GETS VERY NERVOUS WHEN IN COURT. I HAD A SIMPLE CITY ORDINANCE AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE HAD ALREADY AGREED TO TAKE A PLEA THAT WOULD HAVE RUINED MY CAREER. HE THEN WENT ON TO GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY B...EFORE I HAD TO GET STERN AND ALMOST MOTIVATE HIM TO DO HIS JOB! I EVEN HAD TO TELL HIM TO SAY WHEN TALKING WITH THE JUDGE...PATHETIC!
