Compassionate Nursing Home Advocacy

Our family hired nursing home rights attorney, Cat Battista, after our grandmother experienced a fall at her nursing home. Cat and her office not only assisted us with getting grandma transferred to a new nursing home, but also helped us to obtain a settlement from the nursing home to compensate gra...ndma for her injuries. Her office gave us a personal experience by being available to answer all of our questions. Cat would even come to visit grandma at the nursing home to make sure that she was doing all right. If you need a nursing home rights attorney, our family highly recommends Cat Battista.

Amazing Customer Service

I hired Cat Battista in October of 2013 to represent me against a man who hit my car and then fled the scene. When we learned that the driver who hit me didn't have insurance, Cat filed a claim against my insurance to get me compensated for my injuries. Within seven months, Cat and her office had t...he case resolved – without even having to go to court! Cat and her team kept me very informed about what was going on in my case and got it resolved fast. I recommend her!

Tough Plaintiff's Attorney - Took on McDonald's and Won $120,000.00

When I first walked into Cat Battista’s office, I didn't know what to expect. I was fired from my job at McDonald’s for complaining because my manager was sexually harassing me. I needed my job and didn't know what to do. Cat believed me from the start and I felt like I really had someone in my co...rner. When McDonald’s offered me a small amount of money to settle – Cat was not afraid to file a lawsuit in court and push the case as far as possible to get me justice for what happened to me. Cat eventually won against McDonald’s for $120,000.00 to compensate me for the sexual harassment. Cat is a true victim’s advocate.

If you've been injured in Kane County, Hire Cat Battista

Kane County personal injury attorney Cat Battista is smart, personable and aggressive. I was stopped at an intersection when I was rear ended by another driver. While the other driver apologized and made a lot of promises to pay for my property damage and medical bills, my phone calls quickly went ...unreturned after the accident. That’s when I hired Cat. Cat went after the other driver by filing a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. Her support staff stayed in contact with me throughout my medical treatment. When I was done treating, Cat negotiated with the other driver’s insurance company. When they didn’t give me what I deserved, Cat filed a lawsuit to obtain justice on my behalf. My case was resolved soon after that. If you have been injured in Kane County, you need a personal injury attorney who knows what she’s doing. Call Cat Battista.

Good Kane County Personal Injury Lawyer

Cat Battista represented me for personal injuries I received in a car crash in Kane County, Illinois. She was able to resolve my case for $40,000.00 within six months of me completing treatment for my injuries. Cat and her staff were courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. I would highly recommend... Cat and her office for anyone who has experienced a personal injury in the Chicagoland area.
