Trust, Integrity, Respect & Professionalism equals an Advocate!

He is worth the trust. He managed his & my time, & my case very well. He made me believe there are still lawyers out there (him, the Prosecutor & the Judge) who are worthy of good words in the profession despite of the coldness of the Laws. Oleg made me see integrity, truth, compassion, realism & r...ationality in the justice system in the process of my case. True intelligence & democracy are rare. He has it undoubtedly. In those tough & rough 8 months of working together, there was not a moment we raised up a tone against each other which shows how satisfied i was in his ways, manners & management in our professional inter action. He worked on my case once he took over it. I did not feel lost in my position as a client. He kept me aware enough to feel that he was at work on my case when we were not discussing. I was able to keep the hope because of his attention on my case despite of the helpless situation in those 8 months. Despite of the coldness of the Law, he led me to the end result that made me feel the justice that still exists in the hearts of people in charge despite of the heart wrenching position i was into in all those months. It made me grateful instead of being sorry for myself in a distressful situation. He lived up to the expectation—he is an advocate… despite of the odds in my case. I was able to count on that despite of the tough journey i trodded. My value as a human being was intact in the way he led my case toward the end result. & this is rare among those in the same profession as his.. He has the needed sensitivity & empathy towards a distressful situation & knew how to be discreet about it. He is a professional. He worked what was best & safe for me & saw me through the path. Oleg can win trust, respect & integrity to himself.. He is worthy of support in prayers in his higher professional endeavors. God guide him always to contribute to a better society if not to the Nation.

Outstanding

Oleg was assigned to me as a public defender and occasionally there's a drop in service. Not with Oleg. He was outstanding in every way. I couldn't have asked for a better defense. He was smart, innovative and attentive. I would definitely hire him with my own money. No doubt about that.

Phenomenal Attorney!

I would give him 100 stars if I could! I am thrilled to recommend Oleg Balabon!!! He was recently my (court appointed) attorney on a case where I was being falsely accused/charged with assault against 2 people. We took it to trial and won! He put in a lot of effort and time to find out what had rea...lly happened and he was very direct and professional in court. He had a fantastic attitude he did not waiver when speaking to the jury. I was very impressed. I was prepared to lose considering what I was facing. He was able to bring out the truth in this matter and used the evidence that was gathered to be used against me to prove reasonable doubt and in the end my innocence and the best part we won!!! It was an intense and dramatic trial. I was ecstatically pleased with his ability and would highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance with domestic violence or assault cases or any other criminal cases. I believe him to be a highly ethical and quality attorney.

Defense attorney

I really appreciated his work. He had great work ethic. He was talented in his job. I would use them again. Plus I would rely him to anybody to use for a defense attorney. I am glad to work with him.

Assault 4

He went above and beyond what I would expect a court appointed lawyer to do. He put in countless hours interviewing the state witnesses to prepare for trial. Always replayed in a vary timely manner.
