Divorce

Rocky handled my divorce. Considering the circumstances he made it so seamless. I can't say enough good things about how he professionally represented and made sure communication was top priority.

Posted by Sarah | October 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Incredible Experience

We contacted Rocky regarding an issue we had with a former landlord not returning our deposit. Rocky handled this so quickly and efficiently, that we were absolutely blown away! We got a much better outcome that we could have ever hoped for! Rocky is great at what he does and keeps up communication w...ith you so you never have to wonder what is going on. I cannot recommend Rocky enough!

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Ball represented me in a dispute with an auto rental service. The rental company was attempting to charge me for damages that were not incurred during my rental period. I tried multiple times to settle the dispute on my own to no avail. I met with Mr. Ball and he promptly settled the matter w...ith a few phone calls and a letter. His efficiency was greatly appreciated as this dispute had gone on for months. Mr. Ball was professional, knowledgable, and affordable. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good attorney.

Great Attorney!!

Rocky is a great attorney. He listened to my legal issue, and gave me all the options available. I particularly requested him for a earliest court date to which he tried his best and got me the same. He's was very courteous and professional with me during the entire duration of handling my case. On t...he D-day he came to court on time and got me the verdict that I sought. I will seek his representation again, if needed.

Very Professional

I needed help with a will. Rocky was ready to help me with all my needs and gave great advice. I appreciated his willingness to meet when it was convenient for me. He was very professional with the advice he offered. I would refer anyone to Rocky for any legal matter. He is very qualified to han...dle any type of legal matters.

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.
