Greetings!

Happy Holidays. Yeah, I know, nothing says "Peace on Earth, goodwill towards men" like a picture of me with a pair of boxing gloves behind my head! Hey, if you are a trial lawyer named Battle and you can't come up with a marketing slogan using your name, it may be time to reconsider your entrepreneurial desire to be your own boss and find employment carrying someone else's legal briefs!

As I say on my website, "Virginia is for Speed Traps!" Please be careful and smart this holiday season. Recent news releases state that there will be more sobriety checkpoints and law enforcement officers on the roads this year. As the commercials say "Think before you drink." Here's my free legal advice- if you are going to have more than 2 drinks, or you are drinking something stronger than beer or wine, don't drive. Here's wishing you a safe and happy holiday season and new year.

Bob Battle is presently putting the finishing touches on a free e-book that will be available through his website titled "Is Your Virginia DUI Lawyer Asleep at the Wheel? 20 Mistakes Lawyers Make that LOSE Cases for Their Clients." This book dramatically shows that the difference between an acquittal and a conviction could rest on the decision you make in choosing a lawyer. Along those lines, Bob's e-book contains a section on "How to Choose a DUI Lawyer." There is a difference between invaluable experience and hype. This book gives you the essentials that your lawyer must have and the questions you must ask of your lawyer to assure that you will get the representation you deserve.

This year, Richmond attorney Bob Battle has added something extra to the program. On behalf of his law firm, Robert Battle P.C., Bob is proud to donate high quality bike helmets to all the recipients of the bikes. Battle, who moonlights as a professional comedian, is unofficially calling his part of the promotion "Bob Battle's Bells of Christmas!" Bob would like to give a sincere thanks to Bell Sports Inc. for providing these high quality, National Consumer Safety Commission certified helmets at a discount price.

BIKE HELMET SAFETY TIP: A helmet will not do you any good in an accident if it is not worn properly. It should not be worn tilted back on your head. Picured above, Bob Battle gets a thumbs down for having his helmet tilted back. On the other hand, 5-year old Conor Battle (a.k.a. Mr. Safety First- my rule follower!) gets a thumbs up for wearing his helmet correctly.

Everyone has to deal with a tremendous amount of stress in their lives. Everyone could use more laughter in their day. Obviously, Bob Battle takes the approach that it is possible (and healthy) to take your clients' cases seriously without taking yourself too seriously. With that in mind, Bob Battle is going to develop an award for those who bring laughter into his life and display a great sense of humor. The winners will be presented with genuine Bob Battle bobblehead dolls! (Which will be arriving soon.) However, I am proud to announce the first winner of the "Bob-L-Head" or "Bobby" award at this time-drum roll please- Jeff Caldwell. This buddy of mine, a professional comedian, got his long overdue big break with an appearance on the David Letterman show, and he delivered one of the funniest routines I have ever witnessed on Letterman!
