Attorney Matthew Ballard is amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Attorney Matthew Ballard is an expert at what he does. He is absolutely incredible. I'd recommend him to anyone. I had a very complicated DUI case & he handled it with much care. His attention to detail is impeccable. Because of him, we won the case. I walked out the courtroom after 2 hours of him de...fending me, with no charges. I'm forever grateful that he chose to help me with this matter. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thank you so much.

Excellent Work Ethics

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....

Peace of Mind Quickly

I retained Matt Ballard to defend an assault/battery charge filed against me. I brought him in after the arraignment and he immediately put my mind at ease after our initial consultation. He then proceeded within 3 weeks to get the charge completely dismissed at the hearing. He was competent and prof...essional but he gave me a confidence going into trial that I would have never had otherwise. Thanks again so very much Matt!

got a serous speeding ticket?? then you need Matt!! hands down the best in this area.

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.
