Litigation
Our attorneys have tried cases involving the gamut of legal issues, from criminal matters to contentious divorces to claims arising from catastrophic car accidents. In criminal matters, we have achieved "not guilty" verdicts and favorable plea bargains on behalf of a wide range of clients. In personal injury matters, our past experience serving as insurance defense attorneys allows us to anticipate the strategies that are typically employed by the opposing side in defending against such claims. Please see our litigation page for more information.
Personal Injury
Attorneys at Bateman Gibson effectively represent clients in a wide range of personal injury and wrongful death claims, including those involving animal and dog bites, automobile accidents, defective products, elderly abuse, and medical malpractice. For more information about our plaintiffs' personal injury practice and examples of past cases we have handled, please see our personal injury, accidents and injuries, and car accident FAQ pages.
Criminal Law
After an arrest, you need an aggressive and experienced attorney who will defend your rights and fight to mitigate the charges against you. Our lawyers have significant experience representing clients charged with misdemeanors, such as DUI/DWI, trespassing, vandalism, and public intoxication; as well as serious felonies, including drug possession, burglary, arson, and murder. Please visit our criminal law page for more information about this area of our practice.
DUI/DWI
If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), our attorneys will challenge the evidence brought against you in order to minimize penalties and other consequences of the arrest. Our goal is to help you put the incident behind you as soon as possible. Please see our DUI/DWI page for more information.
Divorce and Family Law
The lawyers at Bateman Gibson will guide you through each step of the divorce process and diligently work to protect your interests - and the best interests of your family. We understand the difficult nature of family law disputes, and provide personalized representation that is sensitive to the emotional issues involved. Wherever possible, we rely on alternative forms of dispute resolution to obtain an amicable resolution to such matters as child custody and visitation, alimony and support, parenting plans, and the division of marital assets. For additional information, please see our divorce and family law page and the divorce FAQ.
Accidents and Injuries
Our attorneys have successfully represented the victims of all types of accidents and injuries, including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, psychological injuries, and emotional trauma. For descriptions of some past cases we have handled, please visit the accidents and injuries page.
Medical Malpractice
If you or a loved one suffered an injury or wrongful death because a health care provider failed to perform according to the medical community's accepted standards of practice - such as by failing to perform a surgery correctly or failing to make a correct diagnosis- you are entitled to compensation for the injuries that result. Our attorneys can help you obtain the full recovery that you deserve. For more information, please see our medical malpractice page.
Qui Tam and False Claims
Bateman Gibson lawyers have considerable experience representing clients in qui tam, or "whistleblower," lawsuits. If you have knowledge of a past or present fraud committed against the government, we can help you assess the information that you have uncovered and build a successful case. Please visit our qui tam and false claims page for more information.
State and Local Tax
If you or your business is having tax issues, attorneys at Bateman Gibson have the experience to accurately help you analyze and minimize the impact of state and local taxes.
