James Walter Bateman III saved my life and my dreams a few years ago. I had just finished my enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and I was a couple months out (transitioning). I am a disabled vet. I got pulled over when I went back to North Carolina to pick up some of the items I valued that I accidently left behind after I had moved to Florida to take care of my mother who had breast cancer. I stayed for only one night and two days. I had driven around 12 hours to get there. When I got there, I decided to have a couple drinks after the long drive, eventually I was pulled over at 2 a.m. in the morning. Everything looked suspicious, and ultimately I was arrested and charged for a DUI. My dreams were shattered and the police officers claimed I "reeked of alcohol, was belligerent, and couldn't walk straight" (all comments skewed). I had plans to work for the government and have a security clearance. All of my dreams were lost. After speaking to James, the light in the darkness grew. Throughout the period of this matter, during my post-service transition, my mother was going through Kemo therapy, and having a misdeamor charge while losing a security clearance for my career and dreams, I went throughout a very dark period of my life. When the court date came and I watched everyone within the court room in front of me receive various convictions, go to jail, or claim "Guilty your honor", I was horrified inside. When it was my turn and up to bat, I was scared, however, I'm not sure where James received his education, but if I would have guessed it would have been from one of the better schools within the country. He sliced through the officers who were claiming I was entirely intoxicated, and even went past the arguments to nab at the officers comments and poke at their experience. I was a veteran who deployed, and they were two police officers, respectively speaking, doing there jobs, who had chosen different paths than what I had taken. As I sweat and held my breath, I was found not guilty and the DUI charges were dropped to a speeding ticket, which in many ways, James had even argued to be too much. Now, after finishing my transition two years later, I am living a happy life, next to the beach in Florida, with a stable career and a 401k. No misdemeanor conviction. My mother recovered and I stopped drinking completely. Without James, who knows where I would be; I do know it wouldn't be next to a beach. I do know I would be working a job I hated at a lower wage. I do know I would be regretting my life in many ways. Thank you James, and if anyone is in the position I was in, especially in that town, I would refer you to James. He knows what he is doing and will protect you as if you were his own brother or family. Thank you James for saving my life during that time period.
