Posted by anonymous | July 07, 2020 | Hired Attorney

HORRIBLE!!

When we came to him with our case, he told us he could help us and that he had all these great plans, ideas, etc. Well, he promised dreams and all he delivered were nightmares. We would call repeatedly and send emails, with no responses. He moved offices, didn't tell us. Got a new paralegal. Did...n't tell us. He drug our case on for two years. We never received a bill outside of the retainer we paid. We assumed it was because he had literally done nothing for us. He was either "sick" or "out of the office" always. He dropped the ball on mediation. Dropped the ball on the deposition. We didn't learn of 98% of the information and communication from the defending lawyer until after we got a new lawyer and requested our file. He then had the nerve to come up with a completely bogus bill to send us and demand payment. He should be ashamed of himself. Save yourself the trouble, money, and heartbreak and DO NOT HIRE Rob Bateson! Our case was settled a month after getting a new attorney, LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!

Lawyer took my money......THATS IT!

Stay away from him...He took my money and didnt do a thing.. No doubt he's knowledgeable but he would not respond or answer my calls for at least a month with me calling about 3x a week leaving messages..Finally I went in to his office and of course he acted like he never knew I called and YEP it was... an office visit charge. I went to him with a very simple request and I figured he had a strategic approach to this case and I found out his strategy was to take my money....He did write up my divorce papers which were WRONG.....And after this nightmare he had the audacity to send me a bill on top of me paying my retainer and paying my bill.....This guy was my first lawyer and ever since him I have a horrible outlook on attorney's
