We have engaged Bob and his colleagues on multiple matters that all presented very challenging factual and legal issues. Bob quickly digested the facts and legal issues and presented solutions. Bob consistently exceeded our expectations on results.

Bob did an outstanding job handling a commercial litigation matter for my firm. As in-house counsel, I work with many lawyers around the country, and Bob stood out for his dedication, creativity, attention to detail, and responsiveness. A consummate professional, Bob ensured that every piece of strategic advice and written work product was informed by thoughtful analysis and seasoned judgment. I would retain him again without reservation.

I have worked on cases with Bob for about 15 years -- probably 30+ cases by now. Bob always brings home a quality result, at a cost-effective price point for the client. He is an extremely talented litigator, and I have no hesitation in retaining him and his partners for future work. Bob's attention to detail, exceptional writing skills, strategic thinking, and calmness in the face of stressful situations make him a very talented attorney.

Battle & Winn recently litigated a multi-million dollar insurance coverage dispute for my organization in federal court and achieved outstanding results. Bob Battle is a consummate professional. Bob and his law firm clearly outclassed opposing counsel, who were from a much larger law firm that specializes in insurance law, in terms of case knowledge, strategy, and presentation. I highly recommend Bob’s services and those of his firm, Battle & Winn.

Mr. Battle worked tirelessly on our case and kept us very well informed. The level of service was impeccable. His results were very successful. We have already referred him to other potential clients and I would highly recommend him for business litigation or litigation in general.

Robert Battle defended my business and me personally against a frivolous lawsuit and prevailed. Mr. Battle provided sound, level-headed legal advice, and guided me carefully through the litigation process while remaining ever-conscious about the costs that litigation can mount. I will continue to use Mr. Battle as legal counsel for all of my business and personal needs.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
