Nicholas Andrew Balland

After being charged with a crime and before I retained the services of Nicholas Balland, I had interviewed several attorneys in the Arlington area. What made me decide that he was the right attorney for me, was his obvious knowledge of similar cases, familiarity with the Arlington Court judges and ...prosecutors and his demeanor. I had read some of Mr. Balland's previous bad reviews and I had to laugh, because Mr. Balland does not come off as a nice guy; He is abrasive and curt, but I didn't need a nice guy. I'm a nice guy. I wanted a pit-bull, not a boy scout to represent me against people who are in the business of ruining lives for the sake of fulfilling a quota. Mr. Balland first changed the venue back to his stomping ground in Arlington from where my case was originally set. He was then able to leverage his influence in Arlington and ability as a shrewd negotiator. I would not plead guilty to any of the allegations leveled against me and requested Mr. Balland not to accept any plea deals with the prosecution. Mr. Balland was able, in a flurry of exchanges with the prosecution, to have the them drop the case. Mr. Balland took me aside after the court ordeals and gave me a conversation full of encouragement, which helped me to then face additional issues that came as collateral to my legal ordeal. Mr. Balland is a real human being and I would recommend him to anyone, except women wanting to divorce their husbands

Mr. Balland has been an excellent attorney on my behalf. He has taken care of all of my matters as far as car accidents. He took care of me pretty good too! I feel relieved when He's on my side. He'll bat with those insurance companies to get what's due you! he's a hot head when it comes to deali...ng with them. I like him! He's the best!
