Nancy Loukus Ballast

Nancy assisted our organization in drafting the necessary contract paperwork to file for 501c3 status. She is patient, task oriented and dedicated to ensuring that our needs are met. I am extremely impressed with how comfortable Nancy makes our board members feel about the legal process. We are able to communicate via phone, email and in person and she always seems to make time to answer any questions or adjust meetings for us. Nancy has impeccable follow through and maintains every deadline set. Her prices are extremely economical and worth every penny. Our organization highly recommends Nancy as an Attorney who is true to her word, efficient, flexible and savvy! Thank you, Nancy for the hard work you do.

My wife and I hired Nancy to help with a land contract for our first home. Being that it was our first big purchase, you can imagine that we were not very knowledgeable when it comes to home buying. Nancy not only made sure our contract protected us and the original homeowner, she took the time to thoroughly explain all the ins and outs that would concern us in the future. It was so refreshing to be in the company of a law professional who goes out of their way for their clients interests first. I have and will continue to recommend Nancy to anyone who needs legal help. It felt I'd known her for years by the time the signing was finished, she was so easy to talk to.

Nancy went beyond my expectations. She kept me informed of the process and what to expect next. She is trustworthy and kept my best interest a top priority. I would recommend Nancy to anyone. I feel she genuinely cared about me as a person and I actually forgot I was a "client" when dealing with my needs. Thank you Nancy.

Nancy is very thorough and fair. She follows through quickly with all tasks. I originally called her in somewhat of a panic given a situation that had occurred at my office and she was calm, competent and reassuring. She also works with me on a non profit board and she is always bringing new knowledge, knowing the next steps to take and does so in a proficient, calm manner. I highly recommend Nancy as an attorney. She is someone you can completely trust.

Nancy Ballast gave me a great consultation! Although she wasn't hired as my attorney due to what I need in my marijuana situation, she referred me to another attorney that was better for my situation and he was amazing! He did everything he said, got me the least consequences & he wasn't too expensive. I recommend them both.

Heard Nancy fought for fathers. Key word, "fought." I hired Nancy trying to obtain some sort of custody and or rights to my son. Nancy asked very blunt questions and anytime I tried to explain or provide additional info, it seemed like a hassle. Nancy informed me NUMEROUS times that the judge and court go by these "guidelines." Everything out of Nancy's mouth to me was always "guidelines this" and "guidelines that." Never once did she state that the judge would hear our story and make a decision based on his own thought process. She made it sound like no matter what our case represented against the opposing party, the judge is going to follow these guidelines.... Day of court: hour or so before our case, Nancy informed me to meet with the opposing party and try to make a "deal." due to the fact that if I could strike a deal and have an agreement prior to going into front of the judge, our agreement would be better and I'd be more ahead than what the judge and his "guidelines" would give me- ACCORDING TO NANCY. I listened to her, I had trust in her. Both parties settled on a deal. I consulted with two other lawyers in GR with many years of experience in this field, they both stated that the guidelines dont exist anymore. Every case is different . Nancy supported my choice to opt out of the FOC and do a direct pay to the opposing party for child support. Nancy was aware my child had medicaid from the opposing party and didnt mention one time to me that we cant opt out of FOC when medicaid or gov assistance is involved. I know have to prove to Friend Of The Court that I've been paying child support. On top of that, FOC is now taking money out of my pay checks do to the fact that they think I am not paying my child support. Nancy inst aggressive, she doesn't "FIGHT' for you. She holds your hand and in my opinion, doesn't have enough of an idea of whats shes doing most of the time. I want a lawyer who will fight with me, and be on my side at all times, not argue with me and tell me "THESE ARE THE GUIDELINES" I tried to get Nancy to contact FOC and get my situation resolved but instead, she took weeks to do anything, and then sends me a $522 bill for our email conversations which got us absolutely nowhere. If you want a lawyer to hold your hand and tell you it will be okay, hire Nancy. I personally can get that same satisfaction of hand holding from my mom for a much cheaper rate. I would NOT recommend Nancy.

Nancy Ballast is the worst family attorney I've ever met so far. I wouldn't recommend her at all to anyone, she made me spend thousands of dollars for nonsense and null result. All the evidences I've provided to her, she never used them at any hearing. I mostly did her job, by going through details myself and still she was unable to use them at hearings. She almost made me spend $ 3000.00 to serve a divorce paperwork oversea. Which was unnecessary. Instead of fighting for me as a client, she was negotiating with the other party even though the attorney of the other party refused to negotiate with her. She was saying yes to anything the other party was saying, and was making me spend money, indeed she was making unnecessary phone calls just to charge me. She was charging $ 55.00 for an email and $ 22.00 for a text message. Even my Internet and phone bills don't cost that much. That was awful, ridiculous, insane. She is lack of experience. I wouldn't recommend this attorney for anyone. It would be better to represent yourself than hiring this attorney. It would take me hours to write this review if I have to mention everything.
