The Best in so many areas of expertise.
Unfortunately for me and my family things took a turn we never expected. In those short 7 years Mr. David Ballard and his amazing team have always been there every step of the way.

Excellent lawyer, works hard for his clients!
Has some debt issue that came back to haunt me. Didn’t know how to approach them. David was suggested and recommended. I went with him because I didn’t know who else to go with. And it was the best decision. It’s not easy doing lawyers work while also still making your clients feel human, and cared ...

Excellent Representation
From the first phone call, I felt my case was in the right place. My questions were answered, and I was kept informed as things progressed. It took some time as the court system has been full but I was always in the loop on how things were doing and with what I should expect next. The entire staff wa...

Do not listen to the 1 star reviews
I was wrongfully accused of 12 counts of 1st degree felonies and 1 misdemeanor. David and his WONDERFUL team were hired I believe a week after being incarcerated I retained him to represent me. He fought time and time again to get me out of jail against the crooked county I was in but they always see...

Best team around
When coming to Mr. Ballard with something extremely sensitive to our family he handled it like he was his most important case. Ms. Whitehead has then turned around and helped our 19 year old son with some traffic tickets that could’ve cost him his license - she stepped in and made sure his punish...
"I had the pleasure of working with David when he was a law clerk. His determination and willingness to go above and beyond for clients was impressive. Now that we have cases against each other, I can say that David continues his hard work for clients."
"I'm proud to say I have known David for many years, and I don't know anyone who is more knowledgeable about bankruptcy than David. I have learned enough about bankruptcy from David to know that I should send all of my clients needing services in this area to David. You will not be disappointed if you retain David's services."
"David is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend him. He worked for me while he was a law student, and he was excellent. I knew from early on he would make a great attorney."
"I endorse David. He comes from a family of outstanding attorneys and he has continued the tradition of Ballard legal excellence. Not only will you get great representation from David, you will thoroughly enjoy working with him."
"David approaches the law like a giant puzzle. He wants to meticulously FIT all pieces into the picture before he shows up for his client. This is the mark of a great lawyer, and for this reason --- preparedness, David is an attorney for Fayette County and surrounding areas. Being on his feet, in court, is where he excels. His tenacity and thirst to KNOW THE LAW will surprise many of his opponents."
"David is a very skilled litigator - he is knowledgable, always well prepared and charismatic. What sets David apart from other lawyers is how genuinely caring and interested he is in his clients and the challenges they face. I fully recommend David."
