Caring and compassionate

I have been working with Mr. Ball on my divorce/child custody case for the past 6 months . He is extremely understanding and caring . Always available and shows up when you need him. I appreciate all he has done so far and would highly recommend.

Knowledgable, Respectful and all around great guy

I have worked with Mr. Ball for over 10 years. He has not only aided myself personally, but clients I referred to him, sometimes to his own financial disadvantage. He loves the law and is a wealth of information

Attorney Stephen D Ball

I spoke on the phone with Attorney Ball about an Insurance issue that I was having and want to say that he was incredible helpful . He was professional, polite , patient ; he asked me all the right questions and was patience in letting me explain the issue. He showed his knowledge and profession abl...y by guiding me what I should do and also give me comfort as to how to resolve the issue. I cannot thank him enough!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
