About
Founded 1958
At our firm, we are dedicated to upholding the distinguished tradition of excellence initiated by Anthony Battaglia. Alongside our esteemed standing within the legal profession and a track record of successful courtroom victories, our attorneys have devoted themselves to nurturing strong connections within the community. It’s clear that no other law practice in this region can rival the numerous accolades, milestones, and honors earned by our team each year. In 2019 alone, Sean McQuaid ascended to President-Elect of the St. Petersburg Bar Association; Caitlin Szemetowitz led as President of its Foundation; Rachel Drude-Tomori was welcomed onto its Executive Committee while also chairing the Probate Section; and Andrew Pardun took on leadership as Chair for Real Estate matters. Additionally, past Bar Association president Aubrey Dicus received recognition with a Professionalism Award from his peers while Howard Ross celebrated an impressive 55 years as part of The Florida Bar—demonstrating long-standing commitment to legal proficiency. This is just a glimpse into why six lawyers from our firm were honored by Florida Super Lawyers annually—a testament reflecting what sets Battaglia, Ross, Dicus & McQuaid P.A., apart as your comprehensive choice for legal solutions across various disciplines such as corporate law development , civil and commercial litigation , criminal defense , employment challenges , estate management practices including probate issues along with personal injury claims related work .
