I was terrified of my son’s father who after being arrested for battery against me tried to sue me for sole custody of our son. I was completely traumatized. Eric was calm, explained things clearly, tough on the opposing counsel and available daily. He protected me from the horrible things my ex trie...

Mr. Ballinger worked to stop an unjustified Guardianship petition filed against one of my children and then fought to help my other 16 year old son to change custody. Not only did he stop the Guardianship but he was also able to stop child support payments when the custody case was won. I absolutely ...

I hired Mr. Ballinger for a divorce and child custody case. I have been 500% satisfied with his services. He truly cares about his clients. When I originally contacted him it was for advice. He promptly called me that same evening. It was a Friday evening as well and I came before his personal life w...

I hired Mr. Ballinger for my son's DUI. If we had not hired him, my son would be in jail now. Mr. Ballinger was great at walking us through the process and explaining everything. Because of a motion that was filed contesting the evidence, some of it was not allowed to be used against my son. With...

He answered my question less than 24 hours after posting. I am very satisfied with his response and would definitely consider using him for my legal needs.
"Currently, Eric is serving as co-counsel with me on a serious felony case. He has been instrumental during every phase of this criminal prosecution. He also has a great deal of respect from his peers, prosecutors, and the judges."
"I would highly endorse Eric to handle your domestic case. I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Eric for six years prior to becoming an attorney. Eric always had the ability to find the perfect argument and the flaw in the opposing counsel's case. Eric represents his client's with 100% focus and attention to the small details many would overlook. The best compliment that I could give Eric would be to say that if I were involved in a case today and he was the opposing counsel, I know that I'm in for a hard fought case and I have to be on my "A" game."
"As an attorney who has been on the same and opposing sides of cases I can wholeheartedly say that Eric is an outstanding lawyer. Eric and I were on the opposing side of criminal cases when I worked as a prosecutor and we worked together in the same law firm. He is an experienced trial attorney and a skilled negotiator. Eric works hard for his clients and if I am asked for a referral for a criminal defense or family law attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend him."
"I highly recommend Eric. He is knowledgeable, caring and committed. He has the qualities you should be seeking in a family law attorney. I have known Eric for many years and would not heistate to send friends and colleagues to him for his help."
"Eric Ballinger is a fitting example of what encompasses a top shelf attorney. He served our country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserves, and he continues to serve the public as a professional and a humanitarian. The passion he possesses for his community is evident through the numerous charitable organizations he is a part of. He was a recipient of the 2011 Justice Robert Benham Award for Community Service by The State Bar of Georgia and the Supreme Court Justice Council. In his 18 years of practice, Eric has been triumphant in numerous areas of practice including Criminal and Family Law. His publications on divorce and alimony serve as great examples of why Eric is a diligent and concerned attorney. I endorse Eric Alvin Ballinger."
"Eric Ballinger is a leader in his field and highly respected as a leader in the bar in Cherokee County. I heartily endorse him to prospective clients seeking representation in family law, criminal law or personal injury law in Cherokee and surrounding counties."
