Wise and Compassionate Attorney

I contacted Samara Ballard and received the legal advice I needed during a very trying time for my family and me. She went above and beyond in providing the necessary details during my consultation. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified criminal defense attorney.

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.
