Many years ago I went to law school with the intention of going into politics, then a funny thing happened, I fell in love with the law. I love being a lawyer. I don't understand colleagues and other lawyers who complain about their careers, I love every second of it. It is not just my career, it is who I am, it is what I do and what I am passionate about. The books I read, the movies I watch, the television shows I watch are all predominantly about the law. I try to bring my passion and energy to every case I have. I understand when a client walks into my office that client has entrusted his or her life with me. I take that trust seriously and I do everything in my power to get the best result possible for each and every client. By not going into politics I gave up the opportunity to help society as a whole, I really believe that I am making a larger, more immediate contribution by helping one client at a time.

Scott Batey is the best
He was able to win an employment case for me and it was not under easy circumstances. Even when other lawyers didn’t want to take my case , he took it and won for me ! He is very professional and made this hard time a little easier for me. I’m so glad I found him and I would highly recommend!

Scott gets results quickly....
Scott is an excellent wrongful termination attorney. He was able to swiftly negotiate 3 lawsuits for me where other attorneys I met with I did not seem to get anywhere with in regards to my former employer-a fortune 500 company . I would highly recommend Scott.
