About Attorney Awards

About this firm

One of Tampa Bay’s leading law firms, we were established in 1958 by founding partner, Anthony S. Battaglia. For over 60 years, we have dedicated ourselves to providing personal, timely and cost-effective representation to individuals and businesses in St. Petersburg and all across Florida.

Our lawyers are recognized for their skill and experience in handling civil litigation, personal injury cases, car accidents and auto accidents, complicated commercial transactions, and corporate matters. Our work also encompasses business and personal transactions, appellate law, employment law, wills, trusts and probate, real estate and title insurance, as well as criminal defense and traffic matters. We are a full service law firm. If one of our lawyers cannot handle your issue, we will know the best lawyers to refer you to.

The firm has been named “One of the best law firms in America” by U.S. News. The firm is a Tier 1 law firm in their category of Metropolitan law firms. We have earned our reputation for excellence through our dedication to each client, our vast experience in representing people and businesses in litigation and transactional work. We have an extensive trial practice, and we have a record of success in numerous high profile cases involving complicated legal issues.

At Battaglia, Ross, Dicus & McQuaid, P.A., every client is our most important client. Whether you are an individual or you represent a large corporation, a mid-size firm, or a small or startup business, your legal issue will receive the personal attention it deserves.

Clients throughout the Tampa Bay area remain loyal to us because we do not take advantage of people. We charge fair and reasonable prices for our services and always put our client’s best interests first. We are committed to helping every client achieve the best possible outcome to his or her legal matter.

Detailed and Dedicated Legal Representation

As a medium-sized law firm, we are large enough to handle the most complex transactions and litigation, yet we are small enough to give every client matter detailed attention and dedicated legal representation.

Over 421 Awards & Recognitions

We have been continuously nationally ranked by US News & World Reports for decades as a tier one law firm, which is the highest ranking that can be received. Our Firm is committed to continuing the legacy of excellence established by Anthony Battaglia.
