Nicholas Andrew Balland

I have hired Mr Balland twice in the last several years. He has done an excellent job for me. I have never met this attorney in person. He represented me on matters of the Board of Health Professions, we communicated over the phone. I never once had to appear in any matter. He took care of all ...my issues with the board of health professions and once again, the matters were cleared and dissmissed. I will recommend him to any health professional. Never address any matter with the board of health professions before speaking with Nicholas Balland. Hes great. Thank you so much Mr. Balland for taking care of my carreer.

I had a reckless driving charge (which is a criminal charge and worth 6 points off your license, not to mention possible suspension) in Fairfax County. Mr. Balland got the charge reduced to failure to pay full attention and time. County rather than state code, small fine, no points. Literally the bes...t possible outcome. Yeah, he can come off as being a little brusque, but who cares as long you get the result you want? He will answer questions as long as you take the time to ask them. The bottom line: Mr. Balland gets the job done. He is a true professional, and he knows what he's doing. Worth every penny. Would recommend and hire him again.

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
