Matthew Edward Ballard

I contacted Matthew Ballard for my free legal consultation, 2 minutes in; I knew he was my guy! He listened to my situation without interrupting me, asked a few questions, then laid out what his game plan for me would be if I decided to secure his services. I hired him that day. Reckless driving,... 84/55, while in a construction zone, was my charge. Matt calmly explained a few items to complete that would benefit us, that’s right, I said us; he always referred to my case as our case. He and his assistant Paula kept me in the loop every step of the way, through 2 continuances. Matt also honorably handled my expectations for a satisfactory outcome, always shooting straight with me. This was a specific area of concern for me regarding the sensitive nature of my job; a conviction would have meant a permanent criminal record which could have cost me my career. The day of court, Matt met with me to cement the approach of our defense prior to entering the courtroom. When my name was called, I stepped up to the podium; the judge gave the order to proceed and Matt’s expert defense of my reckless driving charge began without hesitation. Matt masterfully articulated the steps I had taken, the speedometer calibration and the driving class, he drew attention to my previous driving record which included no moving violations and emphasized how extremely polite and respectful I was to the Trooper, to which the Trooper concurred. I was astounded; I did not have to answer a single question. It was like watching Mozart performing his symphony or Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. Matt was brilliant. He steered every second of his argument to our desired outcome……. And he DELIVERED! The judge found me guilty of speeding, a simple fine and court costs. I felt like I had hit a bottom of the ninth World Series walk off grand Slam. No criminal record, just a speeding ticket. I cannot thank Matt enough!!!! If you are ever in need of phenomenal legal representation in the Hampton Roads area, make 1 call, to Matthew Ballard.

Very professional, took time to get a good understanding of my case. He kept in contact and updated me about the case leading up to the court date. He made me feel like my case was important to him. I have had lawyers in the past that I felt like I was just a dollar sign. I would recommend him to any...one needing an attorney in the Hampton area. And I hope I never need him again lol Matt would be the first person I would call if I did need an attorney in the future.

Matt Ballard took his personal time to assist me in a legal matter that could have had a very serious outcome as I am already on probation. I am glad that I chose his representation as I am amazed by the outcome. He didn't judge me. He genuinely cared and chose to help me because of the type of man h...e is. I have a second chance now. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time and used poor judgement. It almost cost me everything. I cant thank you enough.
