Nicholas Andrew Balland

I retained Mr. Balland to represent me on a complicated set of accusations with the VA Board of Health. He was professional, very knowledgeable, experienced and effective. His contacts within the Board and knowledge of the players were extremely important for the outcome. I was well prepared for t...he hearing and am truly grateful for his representation. His many years of experience greatly contributed to a better outcome.

Mr. Balland is an outstanding attorney. He has undertaken a serious and bona fide negligence case for me and has worked with passion and diligence on the case. He truly and genuinely cares about its impact and pursues justice with skill, expertise, and tenacity. He is, undeniably, the best in the b...usiness and his experience shows.

Divorce is a difficult experience. Unlike Olympic Diving, one does not get extra points for an added degree of difficulty. As such, I am very disappointed by the treatment I received from Nick Ballad. Although he is a smart man, he treated me like a number, frequently got my name wrong, and rarely ...kept me informed on the status of my divorce. Whenever I tried to call him, he either wasn't available or would get off the phone with me in less than 30 seconds. I saw him do the same thing to other clients when they called him. At one point, after he had supposedly filed my paperwork, he forgot who I was. In Virginia, it should take 6 months to get a divorce (assuming there are no kids involved). My divorce has taken over nine months, and is still not finalized. He also charged me additional money on top of his flat fee without actually doing additional work. This is no way to treat clients.
