Great Car Accident Lawyer

I hired Cat Battista to represent me in a car crash case in Joliet. Her office did a great job. They kept me informed about my case. They were able to get my medical bills substantially reduced. Cat got me a good settlement – more than the judge even recommended during our settlement conference. ... I would recommend Cat Battista for anyone who has been in a car accident.

Hire this lawyer!

Catherine Battista represented me in my personal injury claim in Kane County. Her office did a good job of keeping me informed about my case. She was able to get me a settlement before going to trial. I would recommend Cat for people looking for a personal injury attorney.

Extremely Happy

I was hit head-on by a driver who reached down to grab a cheeseburger and swerved across the center line and into my lane. I was working with another law firm at the start but no progress was being made. Attorneys Catherine Battista and Brandon Raney helped me recover for my medical bills and more sh...ortly after I signed up with them. Thank you so much!

Got Justice for My Son in Dog Attack Case

I hired Argento & Battista, LLC to represent my son for a claim against a neighbor when their dog viciously attacked my son when he was playing outside. I worked primarily with attorneys Catherine D. Battista and Brandon Raney. They handled my case professionally and competently. I would recommend... them to represent anyone who has been the victim of an animal attack.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
