Awesome lawyer

A. J. Balbo was quick to respond to our e-mail and phone call to have him look at our case. Within a day or so we where able to sit down with him in his office and go over all the facts. He was very attentive to our needs and knowledgeable of the laws. I highly recommend A. J. Balbo and his Firm t...o anyone looking for an attorney.

Army Reserve defense

I found Mr. Balbo through Google after I interviewed another military defense lawyer near him. His resume' impressed me with his experience as a command jag on active duty with the 3rd ID at Fort Stewart. Mr. Balbo was attentive and drastically cheaper than the other lawyer I interviewed. The Army ...Reserve was trying to wrongly separate me. Mr. Balbo completely overwhelmed the government lawyers with his knowledge, demeanor and experience. We won our case and I was retained saving me thousands in lost income and preserving retirement at my current rank. If you are in trouble in any way, do yourself a favor and call Mr. Balbo.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
