Carolyn Bone, Family Attorney on Apr 11, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I recently handled a case in which Ms. Ballinger was opposing counsel. She was articulate, well prepared, and a strong advocate for her client. I endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the opportunity to work with Beverly as opposing counsel recently. I found her to be tough, brillant, and a real pleasure to work with. In a field as adversarial as ours, it is always so refreshing to work with an attorney who can remain kind, even while advocating strongly for their client's position. Beverly does all of these things and is an admirable attorney.

Natalie Bluestein, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 9, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Beverly and I have been involved in a number of cases throughout the years, and no matter how hotly contested, she has always remained civil, incredibly articulate, and prepared. She has always been a worthy opposing counsel, and while we have had our share of difficult cases, there has never been a situation where I would not be comfortable meeting to discuss issues in a case with her. Her consummate professionalism and skill have allowed us to resolve cases for both clients' best interests on many occasions, and her attention to the details that matter in people's real lives is always a benefit for parties in a separation or divorce.
Brian Johnson, Family Attorney on Apr 8, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Beverly and I have had domestic cases together and she does an outstanding job of representing her clients. She is aggressive yet professional to deal with and knows when to try a case and also when one needs to settle. I strongly endorse this lawyer.
Brian Burke, Family Attorney on Apr 6, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Beverly and I have worked numerous cases together. She is a very worthy opponent, skilled in the law and experienced in the courtroom. It is refreshing when an attorney can zealously represent a client and negotiate towards settlement or go to trial if needed.

Beverly Ballinger is a great family court and divorce lawyer. She is a zealous advocate who cares about her clients; she knows the law and is able to argue forcefully for her clients. Beverly takes her duties to her clients very seriously. She works hard and she is results oriented. I have known Beverly for years and she has impressed me with her settlement skills and her knowledge of the law. She is also a worthy advocate in and out of the courtroom. I endorse Beverly for any case which is contested, uncontested, complicated or not so complicated. She can handle all of them.

I crossed swords with Bev in a business case years ago and was impressed with her litigation skills. We have remained friends since then and I have a great deal of respect and admiration for her.
Jeffrey Gerardi, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 14, 2014

Thomas Keaveny, Divorce and separation Attorney on Oct 7, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Beverly Ballinger is an exceptional lawyer who, as a result of years of experience, is able to asses and evaluate the needs of each individual case and then use her skills as necessary in order to achieve the desired result. Bev's success is driven by her ability to work well with her peers in order to resolve cases amicably and by her reputation for being prepared and willing to try cases when necessary.
E. Moise, Family Attorney on Sep 29, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Beverly Ballinger is a superb attorney who is very client oriented. She is a zealous advocate of her client’s rights who after learning the facts, explains her client’s rights under the law. She will always inform her clients of the options available and works with her clients to develop a plan to achieve their objectives. She encourages her clients to attempt to negotiate a reasonable settlement when possible. If not, her extensive litigation experience gives her the background to be very aggressive when necessary. She is detail oriented, extremely persistent and diligent, and always well prepared. I am an experienced trial attorney and law professor, and when I found myself in crisis with imminent need of a family law attorney, I hired her. She left no stone unturned in her efforts on my behalf. She provides high quality representation at a reasonable cost. She knows the family court system well.
Kenneth Peck, Divorce and separation Attorney on Sep 24, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Beverly Ballinger is a caring attorney with a deep understanding of South Carolina family law, as well as the "unwritten rules" of the Charleston Family Court. If you are looking for an excellent attorney, you will make a good choice if you hire Beverly to represent you,
