David Scott Ballard

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...med to find a way to set David back but he NEVER gave up. After about 10 months we finally were about to go through trial but go figure, the DA was not ready still and then David demanded that I be let out on at least bond and the judge granted me a signature bond with an ankle monitor on all charges. That’s just the first small battle won. In the midst of all this I had a juvenile case come about regarding custody of my children and his team took that case load on as well but we will come back to that in a moment. From the time of retaining him to the day I was released on bond to the weeks to days before trial they stayed in contact with me and went over plans and everything with me almost every single week on how we need to go through this trial what to expect what not to expect the whole 10 yards. Just a reminder, they’re planning for this trial and also having to plan and go through the juvenile case as well so I can only imagine how exhausted they are at this point. So trial comes which took two weeks maybe even two weeks and a couple days but we were there from 8:30 in the morning until those lights shut off most days and they STILL met with me every single day to go over new angles to go at this whole thing. We get through all that and now we get to the verdict and all they’re hard work paid off. Not guilty! Second battle won! Then we get to just the juvenile case and that took some time with getting all the scheduling to match up with EVERYBODY involved but here we are almost 3 years from the start of this thing and we got my babies home!!!!! We’re not quite through the mud yet but I’ve got 1000% confidence in them to bring this thing to a happy ending. I know this has been a lot but just these few words is not even close to enough to show or express how amazing David and his entire staff are. I would hire David again and again for anything else in life as long as he is still a lawyer.

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...ment was appropriate for the crime! Thank you, Ballard Law Office!

David did an excellent job on my Chapter 7. It is clear that he has the experience and knowledge to handle bankruptcy cases well. He also has an excellent rapport, is responsive to email, does not rush you in meetings, and keeps you up to date as your case progresses. I highly recommended him if y...ou need to file bankruptcy. I would like to add that I consulted a total of 5 lawyers, and I chose David based on our initial meeting. I am happy to say that I made a wise choice going with him.

After a horrible divorce from my children's father & even worse time with custody issues following several court appearences, my husband and I said enough was enough. We weren't sure who would help or or where to turn, but something told us to go talk with David Ballard. Not only did he sit down & ta...lk with us at length about what was needed, he explained everything in detail letting us know we had a long road ahead. David went above and beyond for us, going as far as going to where my children's father was incarcerated when he agreed to sign over his parental rights. When a snag in the process caught us all by surprise he jumped into action to get things handled with the expertise you grow to know is that of David Ballard & his passion for what he does. From March to August 2016 David worked with us, and in the end sat in the judges chambers as my husband adopted our sons, giving us a new life & a start as a true family of 4. David helped give my boys something they never truly had, and that's a loving caring father that not only loved them as his own but was legally theirs as well. Our case was complex but nothing that David couldn't handle, which made us comfortable & very assured that we never had anything to worry about. The process from start to finish was stress free for my husband & I. When we were needed for something, communication was always effortless & times to come into the office were always convienant for us. There were many times the office stayed open late so David could meet with us after my husband got off work, which doesn't happen often with other businesses. I will never be able to thank David Ballard enough for making my family complete, & giving us the gift he did by making legal what we had know in our hearts for a long time.
