Dan Rathbun and Dave Bateman represented me in a partition matter. Dan and Dave were experts in setting my expectations and providing insights on the most likely outcomes. My questions were responded to quickly and thoroughly using language and examples I could understand. While legal representation has its price, I walked away from each conversation/email knowing the path forward and feeling that I was getting the best representation and return on my investment. As a result of their strategic thinking and expertise, the court made a determination that was extremely favorable. I very strongly recommend Rathbun Bateman -- I would trust them again to represent my interests. Having observed Dave Bateman in deposition and trial settings, there is nobody I would rather work with. He is professional, quick on his feet, and used all available resources to secure my win.

Dave Bateman represented us most admirably in a difficult property ownership litigation, with the result a very favorable settlement for our side. Throughout the process, Dave was accessible, patient, and understanding, helping to put us at ease during an uncertain time. I highly recommend Rathbun Bateman.

Thank you Mr.Belkowitz.I appreciate your time and effort. Mrs.Cate also.😁

We could not have asked for a better representation than David Bateman. He made things happen and quickly helped us settle a very sticky situation.

Prompt and courteous service. My title insurance company had retained Rathbun Bateman to file a lawsuit to correct my deed. This isn't as adverse as it sounds; the relief we sought was merely for the seller to sign and notarize a deed correction of mistakes made by the real estate attorney who drafted the original deed. We only resorted to filing a lawsuit after the title claim representive had reached out to the seller multiple times, but she didn't respond. The lawsuit enabled us to, based on the evidence, to get my deed corrected whether she cooperated or not. It wasn't adversarial to the seller; we just wanted the right thing to be done, so it wouldn't complicate future sales of the property. Mr. Bateman was courteous and sympathetic to both parties and was able to calmly and gently explain to the seller that there was no need for her to panic, as all we wanted was for her fix something that wasn't her fault, but only her notarized signature could fix. She complied with the request and Mr. Batemen expeditiously moved the court for a final order and dismissal for the convenience of all parties. Now that my deed has been corrected, it no longer presents a possible barrier to future title settlements, insurance claims, or matters where the property could serve as collateral.

Great experience with the firm, they were knowledgeable and supportive

Very professional and clear approach.

When swimming in the legal world it is a rarity to find an attorney who is not only experienced and highly competent, but who is also kind-hearted and empathetic to complex and unique situations. David Bateman has a vast array of knowledge as a lawyer to assist in various civil litigation matters including but not limited to contract disputes, divorce, real estate, and business law. David's attention to detail and understanding is a rarity in this fast-paced world that makes a tremendous difference in digesting and ciphering through legal subjects. He is timely with responsiveness and has the ability to think outside the box. If you're looking for someone who will be in your corner and will have your back through anticipated rough waters, David is your go-to guy and will not steer you wrong. I am not only grateful to have the opportunity to work with David, but feel truly blessed. Thank you Rathbun Bateman, P.C. for all that you do!

I can't recommend these wonderful people enough. I came to them in shock and grief. They were so kind and understanding and helped me navigate a very difficult time. When my case completely changed direction it left me worried and scared that we may be looking at a long, drawn-out probate dispute. Without blinking, they came up with a solution. I was very shocked that we were able to settle this with a solution I truly believe my Dad would be proud of. Dan listened to me and my needs, and suggested strategies in my best interest. When Dave stepped in, he was understanding and kind. He was able to get a solution with quick thinking and a good understanding of the law. Let's not forget Joan- always helpful and kind. I appreciate all your firm has done for me. I truly believe that this is the best for all parties. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

I am proud to give these attorneys five stars. I use them all the time for my business. They are extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and really fight for their clients. For the Great Law Firm in a great choice if you're in the market for an attorney.

David and Dan did an incredible job for us. They are top notch litigators. They took a difficult legal family situation we were facing and did the heavy lift for us. Dave is meticulous, objective and highly intelligent. Dan is amazing. They are also highly ethical and good moral people. I can tell you without any doubt, this firm is the one you want in your corner. They are a significant force in the courtroom and a powerhouse at all times. - Phil Martin

I retained Rathbun and Bateman in late September to assist with a commercial lease issue after multiple attempts at having it corrected with the landlord. During our six month court process...they were completely responsive and made me feel like I was their only client...even though I knew that wasn't the case. Dave Bateman presented my case efficiently and effectively. They were always available to answer my questions (which were many because I've never been in court), and presented me with all options available. After the case was over, he made sure I completely understood what had been granted, presented options, and scheduled a follow-up with me at a later date. As a business owner, having an issue with a landlord during an already stressful time has been daunting. Rathbun and Bateman are top notch attorneys and I will never go anywhere else for legal representation.
