Matthew Edward Ballard

Mr. Ballard was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable during a time that could have turned out very bad. Although I would’ve liked to have had more communication with him prior to my court date .The few brief conversations we had I could tell he was very knowledgeable about the law and could te...ll he was the right man for the job. The day I showed up at the court house Mr. Ballard was very professional and got me the very best outcome I could’ve gotten. I will definitely recommend Mr.Ballard to anyone I know going through a bad situation and needs a lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Ballard

In 2017 I was charged in the city of Hampton with several felony drug offences. I hired Matt Ballard from the Smith law firm. Matt went above and beyond for my case. The opposition attempted to do something unusual that Matt knew wasn't going to work in my favor. Due to this Matt fought tooth and nai...l to see that we would win this case. In my experience most attorneys would have just gone with the common wealth, but because of my attorney I am walking tall, free, and happy. Matt Ballard will fight for you harder than any other attorney in VA!!!

After consulting with about 10 different lawyers and having to fire an attorney for not returning my calls i was loosing hope in my case until i met with Matt Ballard. He is very professional and knowledgeable on the court system! Took his time and diligently coached me on what to expect and not to e...xpect. Got back to me every time i called, and patient with all my questions. Very honest and doesn’t lie about his expectations in court. He helped me in a cross warrant assault case that usually gets thrown out but he prosecuted my case and the accusers of being found guilty. He did an amazing job and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I now have a piece of mind and it’s all for this guy! Even though I don’t plan on needing him again, I would 100% rehire him for any case in the future.

Matthew is extremely professional, straightforward and keeps his eye on the goal. My husband had a reckless driving charge and Matthew got it completely dismissed! We thought it would be completely impossible but he proved us wrong and we couldn’t be happier! No matter what your odds are, you want Ma...tthew Ballard on your side.

I consulted with Mr. Ballard on a very serious matter. My boyfriend recommended I get in contact with him as he has used him in the past for a DWI case and was very happy with his representation. He gave extremely insightful information and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend him to anyo...ne seeking legal counsel in the Hampton Roads area.
