Great Attorney

Jim performed exceptionally well defending our unique case. Jim communicated exceptionally well, patiently listening to our concerns and answering all of our questions. Jim developed a great defense, provided excellent advice and ultimately negotiated a Misdemeanor charge down to a parking ticket, ...saving us from a trial. We could not have hoped for better results.

A true "Top Gun" Defense Lawyer. Jim Ball is among the "elite few" who are heavy hitters in Idaho's legal system.

Let me explain why. I am a former client who faced a certain prison sentence. In fact, I was being offered 4 years fixed in the penitentiary by Ada County Prosecutor for DUI or face habitual violater charges for having prior felony DUI twelve years prior with no plea bargain on the table. Jim had his... work cut out for him and my life was on the table. The only defense I had was to show the court the positives in my life despite a severe addiction problem. Mr. Ball directed me toward a reputable treatment program while he investigated legal loopholes or technicalities that may of occurred during my arrest. Unfortunately I never get that lucky, but nevertheless Mr. Ball reviewed everything carefully and continued the legal process while I finished treatment. At sentencing the prosecutions offer never changed, they wanted to hang me. Another guy I met said don't worry Jim Ball is a bad ass when it's game time in front of the Judge. That statement proved to be correct because when my time came on sentencing, Mr. Ball layed everything out for me in front of a packed courtroom. I wish I was that good at public speaking, it's a natural talent for Mr. Ball. Long story short, I received 120 days and probation. If you want results, be prepared to do the work, seek treatment, and make a change to better your life. If you are in hot water like I was, you need a pit bull, not a puppy. Mr. Ball will get you through the gauntlet, the rest is up to you..... Tyler Thanks Jim!

A Job Well Done!

Jim represented my son in a criminal drug case and did an excellent job! Being from the Phoenix area, we had no knowledge of a good of attorney and was fortunate to come across Jim and his staff. Jim was most always available to speak with us and took the time to explain any legal documents as well a...s provide us with professional/legal advice. I would highly recommend Jim and his law firm to anyone who is in need of legal representation.

Exceptional Knowledge and Client Support

Jim Ball is an outstanding attorney. His attention to detail and his thorough approach aided me in a personal time of crisis. Following Jim's advice and utilizing all the resources he recommended placed me at extreme ease concerning my circumstances. Moreover, it paved the way for the best possibl...e outcome with regard to an otherwise highly punitive case. Jim's exceptional knowledge and abilities are further enhanced by the credibility he has garnered through his years of service within the justice system. He is highly respected and that value is immeasurable especially when you are dealing with personnel who know and have worked with Jim in all aspects of pre-trial, court, and other legal systems. That alone allowed me to seamlessly and favorably maneuver through all of the processes and requirements ordered by the court. I am thoroughly pleased with Jim's performance during my particular case. I believe the greatest compliment an attorney can receive is if you would trust him/her to handle not just the pending case at hand but any future case. Not only would I retain Jim in the future, without question I would recommend him to every one of my family members or friends that may ever need or require a defense attorney.
