Matthew Edward Ballard

Matt is a very capable attorney. He is sharp and detail-oriented. He prepares his client very well, he answered me anytime, he is frank and goes to the point. And he was able to get me acquitted after I was falsely accused. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for a defense attorney in Hampton... Roads.

Matt is an ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorney who cares about his clients. We hired him to represent our son for a traffic accident. He was very responsive and took the time to explain the law to our son. We highly recommend Matt if you are looking for a trustworthy and hard working lawyer....

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Seriously! In my case, I was accused of shoplifting. It was a misunderstanding and an honest mistake but nonetheless, I was still charged for a crime. Scared and worried for the possible charges I was facing, I knew I needed to hire a lawyer. I searched ...on Avvo and found a couple lawyers with free consultations and that’s when I came across Matt. He was very honest and upfront from the get go. He informed me that he used to be a prosecutor, which gave me a gut feeling to hire him on the spot. It gave me reassurance that he could look at my case from both stand points and come up with the best possible result. Also, he’s very fair with his pricing! His assistant, Sandra, is amazing as well! She would call to check in and keep me updated with everything that was going on with my case. I met with Matt a handful of times and right before my court date. He would go over every aspect of my case and made sure he had a clear understanding of what happened. Once my court date came, he showed up when he said he would and came prepared to defend my case. Luckily, my case was dismissed. If you by chance are accused of a crime and need a good.. scratch that.. THE BEST lawyer by your side, finish reading this review and give Matt a call! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

I got caught red hand by HPT drag racing a buddy. I was charged with racing reckless. When I consulted with Matt, he informed me exactly what I was facing per state statue and the consequences if found guilty, which were not good. I got a good vibe from Matt when I talked he listened and asked questi...ons. I could tell he enjoys helping the community in which he has grown up. once I hired Matt he laid out a plan to have the best outcome in my case. I did everything asked by matt. when we went to court he was able to work out a deal with the cop. Matt was able to talk the cop into dropping the charges and the case was dismissed. Matt is a solid guy, he had multiple plans in place in case of negotiating with cop did not work. I felt confident that I was going to beat the charges or at least have them reduced to something lower with Matt as my Lawyer. I will recommend Matt to any of my family and friends.

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
