We sought out Mr. Balow specifically for our case. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and always professional. We were very satisfied with not only his services, but with the outcome of our case. Definitely felt he was in our corner and working for our best interest. Would highly recommend him to others. He was the positive in our legal process!
Blaine did an exceptional job for our organization. His quick ability to give us the answers, guidance and response we needed was extremely helpful in ensuring we were proceeding in the right direction and prepared for what came next. I would recommend Mr. Balow to anyone looking for an attorney; you will be confident knowing you are being heard, and represented by the best.
I practice exclusively in Plaintiff's Employment Litigation. Whether the case involves retaliation, discrimination, whistleblowing or sexual harassment, I have extensive litigation experience and alternative dispute resolution (mediation) skills, which makes me a strong advocate for my clients.

Amazingly caring and talented
Nothing is more scary than the family court system. Blaine is attentive to emotions and gains confidence by his amazing intellect and knowledge of the law. He very swiftly lead me through the court system to a complete “win”. Blaine catches EVERYTHING including contradictory statements by opposing party.Me and my children are thankful for him!!

Glad we found Blaine Balow
Our first encounter with Blaine was for an emergency situation late on a Friday afternoon, and he expedited the client on-boarding process to assist us then and there. He was incredibly patient and able to wade through all the messy details to get to the real issues and solutions for our parenting time modification case. He "begins with the end in mind," and every step he takes is calculated to be of benefit down the road. He cares about his clients and sees them as individuals. He worked with us to keep costs down by allowing us to gather and organize information when possible. He also assisted us with a matter unrelated to the original reason for hiring him. Blaine is very timely in responsiveness, and his paralegal Amanda is awesome to work with as well. Blaine comes across as young and sweet, but don't let that fool you! He knows his stuff, is eloquent verbally and in writing, and gets the job done.

review for Blaine Lm Balow
Blaine explained everything about my case very clearly. He made sure that I understand everything . English is not my first language so it was really nice that he used basic English and made some drawings as an explanation which I think was really clever.

Blaine LM Balow is highly recommended
Blaine LM Balow is a strong knowledgeable attorney who has represented me several times successfully. Many times I have gotten more than I wanted with him because he took assertiveness when it was needed. He is also compassionate and caring. He takes into consideration what my family needs and assures that we are taken care of legally. I highly recommend Blaine for all your legal matters.

Excellent family lawyer
I hired Mr. Balow to represent me for my divorce on a recommendation and I am so glad I did. Blaine is great, especially for those of us who are law-naive. He was very open and honest and was always ready to provide suggestions, but never to force them. Blaine was always very professional but also understood that I was going through a difficult time. I would certainly recommend Blaine to family and friends and anyone who is in need of a family lawyer.

"I know Blaine as a colleague in family law practice. I first met him three years ago during a mediation for a same-sex domestic partnership dissolution. Blaine was professional and creative in discussing the unique legal issues presented. Since that first meeting, each interaction with Blaine has been client focused and results oriented. Blaine is diligent, knowledgeable, and an zealous advocate for his clients. I am no longer in private practice and Blaine is a trusted referral."
