Superb Attorney

Jean Galloway Ball is a superb attorney in every way. We hired her to represent us in a difficult estate litigation matter. I am an attorney myself and I had very high standards. She met and even exceeded them throughout the litigation. She has great judgment, is very responsive, produces excelle...nt work product and works really hard to represent your interests. I am very happy we hired Jean to represent us.

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.
