About Jeremias
Jeremias Batista is an attorney who has split his career between courtroom duties and private practice. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from William Paterson University in 2001 and completed his Juris Doctor at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2005. Those academic years laid a clear foundation for work in courts and municipal settings.
After law school, Batista joined Vivino & Vivino, Esqs., in 2005. He spent his early years there gaining trial exposure and learning the mechanics of day-to-day legal practice. In 2007 he opened his own firm, the Law Office Of Jeremias E. Batista, LLC, and has maintained that practice since. A decade into private practice he added a judicial role to his resume, serving in 2016 as a judge on the Municipal Court of the City of Paterson. That blend of roles has given him experience on both sides of the bench.
Batista is admitted to practice in multiple jurisdictions: New York, Florida, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Those admissions allow him to interact with a range of procedural rules and court cultures. His educational background in criminal justice and his municipal court tenure mean he is familiar with local ordinances, arraignments, and the pace of lower-court dockets. He has handled matters that required courtroom appearances and has overseen cases from intake through resolution.
Colleagues describe Batista as a lawyer who relies on practical courtroom experience when advising clients. He has managed files in private practice while also presiding over municipal matters as a judge. The combination informs how he evaluates risk and prepares a case for trial or settlement. He is comfortable addressing procedural questions, advising on local court practice, and representing clients in hearings where timely motion work and quick legal analysis matter.
In practice he balances advocacy with an understanding of municipal procedure. He runs his firm from his office and continues to accept client matters appropriate to his experience. Over the years he has kept active ties to the bar and legal community through professional memberships and ongoing legal work. He currently concentrates his practice on representing clients in matters brought in state and municipal courts.
