Dave Bateman represented me in a partition matter. Dave was an expert 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 his strategic thinking and expertise, the court made a determination that was extremely favorable. 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.

Mr. Bateman was extremely fast and helpful in answering my question. He also helped illuminate some of the answers that I should have included in my initial question. This is my first time receiving legal help on this website. Thank you VERY much.

5 Big Stars for Attorney David E. Bateman I needed legal representation when an unlicensed contractor was attempting to extort $25,000 from me for work he did not perform on a construction project in Arlington VA. I now realize the advantage in using a good law firm to handle disputes for my company. I hired David E Bateman from Rathbun/ Bateman in Fairfax VA. He was recommended to me by another happy client he had represented. Mr. Bateman did a phenomenal job. I have been in real estate/ construction for 38 years. Mr Bateman’s knowledge about real estate, contracts and construction astonished me in the courtroom He exhibited terrific listening skills and responded with eloquent and concrete answers that obviously impressed the Judge because he threw the case out and awarded me all legal fees. I highly recommend Dave Bateman. He is the best! He will work hard for you and win your case!! Thank you Lauren Lauren Kivlighan Principal Broker Northern Virginia Real Estate Inc.

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.

Mr. Batemen talked with me over a 1/2 hour explaining in detail and answering questions and I was not a client. He was detailed and thorough and provided excellent and valuable information to me. Most appreciative.

I asked specific questions, and Mr. Bateman was very patient and accurate answering my questions that helped me a lot. I have also noticed this lawyer has been very helpful to this website, his answers and comments are very professional and helpful.

Mr. Bateman is a very compassionate attorney that tells you the truth of your situation--good and bad. I found him honest and competent. However, my case ended up in another state and therefore, I did not hire Mr. Bateman, but I would not hesitate to do so.

I did not hire Mr. Bateman as an attorney as one was not needed, but I appreciate Mr. Bateman answering a few questions I had. He was helpful and generous to use his time to help me without compensation.
