About:
From the moment I embarked on my journey as a criminal defense attorney, I have committed myself to advocating for my clients and providing genuine, compassionate legal assistance. While other attorneys might attempt to intimidate, I focus on working diligently on your behalf. In my early career at a high-volume criminal defense firm, I was drawn to the types of cases that ignited my passion. As I handled more criminal defense cases, I discovered my calling in delivering solutions and peace of mind to my clients. Having spent 9 years as a prosecutor, I bring a distinctive perspective that can significantly benefit your case. I am deeply committed to protecting the families of Southern Maryland. Whether you need legal assistance with an opiate case, a restraining order, or a violent felony, I will guide you through every step of the legal process. I promise to listen to your concerns, think creatively to solve your problems, and advocate fiercely on your behalf. Let me leverage my passion and experience for your benefit today.

"Ms. Batey is phenomenal ! Throughout every step of the process she made sure I was informed! She thoroughly explained my case to me and laid out all my possibilities. She didn't sugarcoat anything which made me feel very confident and reassured in her and my situation. Her office was very responsive at all times and I truly appreciated their hard work! Ms. Batey confidently represented me in court on multiple occasions and was able to get my whole case dismissed! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again!"
