Why choose Bateman McDonald Law Firm
The law firm you choose may be one of the most important decisions you make after an injury. Here is who we are and what you can expect from us.
We stand up for the little guy
David Bateman and Michael McDonald care about the people they represent. They know what a serious injury does to a family: the pain, the medical bills, the worry about work and money. They want to help every injured person they can, and in every case they take, they stand up for that person against insurance companies and big corporations.
We are also trial lawyers. From day one, we prepare every personal injury case as if it will go to trial. We work to make these companies take full responsibility for the harm and losses they have caused, and if they refuse, we are ready to ask a jury to hold them accountable.
In a serious injury case, whether it’s a catastrophic injury, wrongful death, maritime accident or truck crash, you need more than a slogan. You need a Baton Rouge law firm that will stand up for you, inside and outside the courtroom.


What sets our approach apart
We prepare every case for trial
From day one, we prepare every personal injury case as if it will go to trial. That preparation gives our clients leverage in negotiations with insurance companies and defense attorneys, and it means your case is ready if it does need a jury.
Insurance companies know our name
Insurance companies and defense lawyers know we are prepared to take a case to court when a fair offer is not on the table. We want them to take your claim seriously from the start.
Individual attention for every case
Every case gets the investigation, preparation and attention it needs. We fight for every dollar the law allows our clients to recover.
A personal relationship with every client
We get to know our clients and treat each one like a member of our own family. When you call, you speak with us directly. Behind every case is a person whose life has been turned upside down, and you deserve lawyers who care about you, not just your file.
Courtroom experience
Our attorneys have tried cases to jury verdict in Louisiana and beyond. Other lawyers regularly bring us in as co-counsel on their toughest cases. Now you can work with us directly.
No shortcuts. Just full justice.
When your health, your future and your family’s well-being are on the line, you deserve attorneys who will stand up for you.
