Professional and Knowledgeable

At the corner of professionalism and knowledge, you'll find London's office. She took over my case, communicated very well, and guided me through the process. She knows the law and rules very well. London always conducts herself in a professional way. I would recommend London to anyone going though f...amily legal troubles. 10/10 would recommend.

Indispensable

After having had unpleasant consults with other lawyers who couldn't seem to wrap their heads around the idea that two women might be married and getting a divorce, it was important to me to find a lawyer who understood the queer community and London was that lawyer. She handled my divorce case and w...as indispensable in helping me get my kids back after my ex absconded with them and filed a baseless restraining order to prevent me from seeing them for more than a few hours a month under close supervision. She skillfully litigated the restraining order matter, even getting my ex to testify that she had no actual concerns about me that would warrant the order's restrictions. We were able to get a 50/50 parenting plan agreed to within a couple days of a judge dismissing the entire restraining order. As my ex continued to throw up roadblocks to avoid the even split we'd talked about, London was able to handle all of them and her priority was always ensuring equity and the wellbeing of my kids rather than resorting to petty tactics or advising that we respond to my ex's roadblocks with escalation. We were able to settle and avoid going to trial, but I know that if we had ended up going to trial, I would have been in good hands.

Don't hesitate, hire her!

I was referred to London by a friend when I decided to file for divorce. After the consult I immediately hired her. Every step of the way London and Bailey were on top of it. Response time to emails were never longer than 30 minutes. In such a stress time in my life, I am so grateful London was my a...ttorney, and I am happy with the outcome!

Highly recommended!

London was a tremendous help through my divorce. She and her team assisted me in preparing and filing all necessary paperwork, ensuring I understood every step of the process along the way. Their communication was excellent, and they were genuinely supportive and helpful during what was an extraordin...arily trying time. Highly recommended!

Divorce with child custody

London Ballard handled my divorce case in 2023-24. Mine was a complex case that involved a child custody and cross border (US-Canada) parenting plan issues and London and her team dealt very deftly with the case. They showed great professionalism and knowledge of the legal process in protecting my i...nterests as they navigated through the legalities and administrative niceties of the case and brought it to a closure.
