Paul Cipriano Balassa

Paul was referred to me by a close family friend who stated "This is THE GUY to see if you need legal advice"...... That was the best recommendation I've ever received! Paul took on my legal matter with only four days prep time before I needed to submit legal paperwork concerning a sensitive matter. His fees were great and services rendered were excellent! I do not know if I won or lost the case against me yet, but I will be retaining Paul Balassa as my lawyer for all future matters because his customer service skills are amazing!

Paul is the most professional, well-spoken, caring, honest, energetic attorney I have ever known. I hired Paul for a misdemeanor offense in Baltimore City, and he helped me get the most lenient outcome I could expect. He understood all of the ramifications this criminal offense had to my Top Secret Security Clearance and my career due to his security officer background in the military. He was even able to explain matters to my company's security officer. I have worked with other attorneys over the years who were either nickel-and-diming me, dishonest, lazy, unprofessional, crooked, or any of the other things you think of when making jokes about attorneys. Paul is definitely none of those. He has the type of character I would want in a close friend, especially if I was in a pickle. He is tough, too. He helped me (free of charge after my case was over) to play hard-ball with another law firm to get my retainer refunded after they had screwed me over. Another great thing about Paul is his communication style and ability. He explains everything with patience and in great detail. And if you don't get it the first time, he will be happy to go over it again until you understand it. I am so pleased with Paul, I am considering hiring him to help me set up a business. I know I can trust him 100%.

Paul has been an excellent attorney and brilliant source of legal advice. As my personal and business attorney, he has represented me on a number of legal matters and in my criminal traffic case. His representation has resulted in thousands of dollars in savings, and I look forward to his continued representation of my consulting business.

Our first impression of Mr. Balassa was when we spoke on the phone. His voice was cheerful and upbeat. We explained that we needed a partial revision of a trust that had been created in another state. Mr. Balassa clearly understood what was needed and told us that he could complete the project in a timely fashion, which he did. He had quoted a fee that we felt was fair. We liked him both professionally and personallyand would not hesitate to recommended him to others or to use his services again in the future, if needed.

I was looking at paying a hefty fine and points added to my driving record to include possible jail time per the State Trooper. Well, I must say, Paul Balassa came through and I didn't have to say one word in court... I was amazed. I watched him talk with the State's attorney and within minutes he had secured a favorable agreement for me while most cases that was called were getting slammed. The end result for me was no guilt plea, no probation before judgement, no points or fines and some community service (Have to take some ownership, right? But I'm done with it already). Paul is the one you need to call on and he's easy to talk with. He's in your corner and looking to get you the best outcome depending on your situation. I totally recommend him; you won't waste your money.

I can not thank Paul Balassa enough for how great he handled things. He did his job very well and was extremely personable. I felt informed and updated throughout the entire process. I would reccomend him in a heartbeat.

Wow! Paul is the very best attorney I have hired and he rescued me from a terrible civil lawsuit. I could have lost my job, my house, and my entire life's savings, but Paul proved to be diligent, articulate and completely outwitted the other attorney until they crumbled. Paul also has reasonable rates and he is very fair in his billing. Thanks a million, Paul!

Paul is a wonderful attorney - extremely dedicated to what he does best - the practice of law. I have seen him in action and recommend him highly to others. Paul is someone you want on your team to get the job done. Paul had the opposing party practically begging to pay the disputed amounts rather than deal with him further.

One of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with. Caring, insightful, exceptionally knowledgeable about the law. He has provided the best representation to me and for my family. I highly recommend Paul to meet your legal needs.

I was in the process of starting my own company and needed help with the processes that were unfamiliar to me (from a legal and beaurocratic standpoint). I was referred to Mr. Balassa who had a great track record with his previous clients. Paul was a class act from our initial, introductory handshake. He was extremely professional and polite, yet very direct and determined to get done what we needed to get done quickly and thoroughly. He was mindful of my time and was able to perform his services in a flawless manner. Paul appears to have already built relationships in every corner of his professional territory and has shown that his integrity, sense of urgency, attention to his clients needs/means, and the desire to build an army of satisfied customers are his primary goals: to consistently meet the needs of each and every of his clients, while establishing a friendship by the finish line. Mr. Balassa comes highly regarded by me.

My two companies have used Paul Balassa for several years because he talks straight to us and understands the problems we encounter in our daily business ventures. Paul has helped our companies become legally upstanding and functional corporations. My very first dealing with Paul was through my business partner. He met Paul and asked Paul to do a legal review of an issue that we were having. When the review was done, we went and met with Paul. I remember thinking that I didn't want to spend my afternoon in some lawyer’s office. I was impressed and happy I had the chance to meet him. Since that day, I gave my business partner the go ahead to turn all legal issues over to Paul. I now have the pleasure of working with Paul on a regular basis when I am doing contracts. Paul is always available to help and has protected my companies well. I would recommend Paul to anyone who needs a very detailed and compassionate attorney that will work hard for you and be very straight forward and honest with you. Paul is the number 2 speed dial on my cell phone.

Paul helped with an unemployment appeal. He was very knowledgable and made sure I understood all options and circumstances related to the case. He kept me constantly updated and helped me receive a favorable ruling. I highly recommend Mr. Balassa.

I am a paralegal with over 20 years’ experience in litigation, commercial law, transactional law, dispute resolution, and franchise law. I worked closely with Mr. Balassa in all of those areas of concentration for over 5 years prior to his establishing his own law firm. I found Mr. Balassa to be a pleasure to work with, to be extremely intelligent and responsive, to have a love of the law and to be well versed in it, as well as to have a deep-seated willingness and passion to assist his clients. I would definitely recommend Mr. Balassa to anyone seeking legal assistance.
