also known as Attilio J. Balbo
I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. I attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and was a member of Army ROTC and Gamma Phi fraternity. After graduation and commissioning as a second lieutenant, I attended Fordham Law School in New York City, where I served on the editorial boards of both the Urban Law Journal and Moot Court.
I attended the Army's Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia. I had the honor of deploying with 3ID to Kuwait in January 2003 and crossed the berm into Iraq in March of that year.
After leaving the Army in 2006, I opened a law practice in Richmond Hill, Georgia, with fellow judge Advocate Chester J. Gregg. Our practice, Balbo & Gregg, focuses on Criminal Defense, Family Law, Personal Injury, and Immigration. We work hard for our clients at an affordable price.
I'm an avid fisherman and love Steeler football.

After a very lengthy hearing, the board found there was no basis for the separation and the matter was closed.
The case was dismissed at a preliminary hearing for lack of probable cause.
