Posted by anonymous | September 01, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Do not use

Took my money to handle a probate. He did not complete the probate and would not return my emails, texts or calls. I had to hire another attorney and the new attorney had trouble locating Batton to have him sign a release to transfer the probate to the new attorney. I probably should have reported hi...m for this. He is very unprofessional and I would not recommend him for anything.
