I was charged with a DUI. I was graduating from school and starting a new career. I was confused, scared and needed someone to help me understand the charges, implications and my options. I talked with numerous Calgary lawyers to find someone who understood my situation and genuinely cared about representing me. When I met with Mr. Batting I initially felt like he listened and truly understood me and my case. His experience was evident in the way he explained the legal aspects and the strategy to proceed. I chose to hire Mr. Batting because I felt confident in him. Through the entire process, Mr. Batting and his staff were very professional and kept me informed. At my trial, I knew that I made the right decision. Mr. Batting’s experience and skill was evident in his preparations, words, and actions in the courtroom. Mr. Batting was successful in the dismissal of all my charges and the outcome was very positive for me.
I have Mr. Batting to thank for the chance to have a fresh start and would definitely recommend him
N.D
My decision to use the services of Batting, Wyman was first based on a need to find a good criminal lawyer to help me with a situation with which I was very unfamiliar. Mr. Battings contact info was provided to me by a family lawyer who expressed confidence in Mr. Battings abilities based on his lengthy career & achievements in law.
My first contact and next several discussions with him occurred over the telephone. After my first meeting with Mr. Batting I was very pleased with his demeanor and his professionalism. He took time to hear my situation and was able to explain the reality of the situation and his strategies for dealing with my case. When it came down to the trial date, I found that Mr. Batting was well prepared to deal with the matters at hand and those that arose throughout the proceedings.
In preparing witnesses for my defence Mr. Batting was professional & straight forward. (My Potential witnesses later expressed to me their positive thoughts regarding Mr. Batting’s abilities) My potential witnesses were never called to testify on my behalf because Mr. Batting had done such a good job of proving a reasonable doubt to the courts as to the events that brought me to this place & time.
Mr. Batting was able to anticipate the various courses of action that the crown prosecutor may take and he was able to clearly explain his strategies & the potential outcomes of each to me. Mr. Batting was called upon to cross examine a witness for the crown that I had particular concerns with due to my relationship with & the young age of the witness. To my pleasure & satisfaction Mr. Batting maintained a professional demeanor and demonstrated empathy toward the young witness. Mr. Batting was able to achieve his goal without damaging the sensitive heart & mind of that young person.
I hope I never have the need for such legal representation again but if ever I do, my first call would be to Batting, Wyman.
Thank you
