I appreciate London!

From my initial phone conference with London through the whole daunting divorce process, I felt heard and supported. London told me more than once that she was my advocate, and she followed through with that. She supported me in my decisions after presenting all legal angles and possible outcomes. Sh...e wanted the best for me. When I was in doubt about various issues, London was able to see through the muddle and had a positive outlook on my overall outcome. She always made me feel like I was her only client. When it came to mediation, London chose a very fair and balanced mediator who explained that not everything would go my way (or my ex-spouses way). Despite that, London fought as far as she could when it was needed. It was a long, slow day but when the mediator was consulting with the other side, London was always advising me on her next argument and strategy. London's work was incredibly thorough, timely and organized. I always felt extremely comfortable and confident with the quality of her work. London is truly trustworthy.

Modification Parent Plan

I began working with London at their previous firm and decided to follow them. My situation was rather difficult as my case became a cross State, I'm in Washington and I had to move my case to Multnomah County, Oregon. I had an estranged relationship with my 2 children. Limited time, no phone calls ...or overnights. It was my dream to have more time with them. London became that person I could confide in and helped me learn the justice system. It wasn't easy, many challenges ahead. London learned my background and got to know all parties involved. It took some time to get what I had hoped for. No relationship will ever be perfect. But London helped some of the gap. My kids and I are in a better place today. London also understood my kids language and that made a huge difference. London helped me learn. I strongly recommend London. Just remembering what we went through and feelings of giving up. London reminded me there is hope at the end. Thank you London, I'm forever grateful.

I am relieved

I contacted London in hopes to find someone who was willing to take on a case as atrocious mine. Due to my circumstances it was dire that I have representation. Ms. Ballard was able to take the situation and define it so that in court it was easier to make decisions which lead to having the best outc...ome for my family. She insured me with her patience and compassion from the beginning that I contacted the right law firm and it took a huge burden off of my shoulder knowing I had her expertise.

Reliable and dependable worth the Money

Great impression at first sight. I’m grateful for London and to have her by my side and along with her wonderful team. London gave me a lot of reinsurance and help me understand what I needed help with. Professional and Responsive and very direct and detailed. Blessed.

Knowledgable, compassionate, and empathetic

I was a nervous anxious wreck when I decided to seek a divorce, thinking about all the many ways things could wrong. After meeting with London, I felt better. London's calm, knowledgeable, no-nonsense manner of explaining the process of what to potentially expect helped me look at things in a more cl...ear way. Everyone on the team was very communicative and helpful whenever I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend London and wouldn't hesitate to retain her services if the need arises.
