Mrs. Melissa Malouf is one of the finest lawyers in the united states!

Will is the best of the best. Professional, timely, dedicated and focused. He is client-oriented and an overall great attorney.

Mr. Ballard recently handled my case for me and done an outstanding job!!! He not only was very professional but was there no matter what time of the day I might have needed him. He’s been very dependable through all of this and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to anyone who has legal issues!!! Thanks Will !!!!

My experience was great he's kind, professional and very thorough. He is hands on and very attentive to his clients. I would definitely recommend him. If you're looking for an active and experienced attorney, he's your guy.

Attorney Melissa Malouf has represented me and worked very hard to win my case. I had a family law matter and her knowledge of the law allowed me to prevail. Melissa is not only a dedicated attorney, but has a passion and purpose to getting those in need justice. I would recommend Melissa Malouf to all of my family and friends.

Melissa handled my divorce last year. There are so many divorce lawyers in my town, and I didn't know who I could trust. I am so glad I found Melissa! When I went to see her, my husband was making crazy threats and I was so scared - scared about keeping my son, worried about money, and how I would make it on my own as a single mom. Melissa listened to me, and she knew just what to do. She was up front with me about what to expect. I followed her advice, and she was right. It helped alot. When it was time to file, Melissa helped me get divorced FAST, and she got me everything I wanted. I never had any problems reaching her - she was there any time I needed her, and if she was in court, I could always talk to her office staff. They were also a big help. If you're reading this review, then you're thinking about a divorce or family lawyer, and I'm sorry about that. Divorce is hard. But if you pick the wrong attorney, then divorce is hell. I've heard way too many stories about bad divorce attorneys. After my experience, I know for a fact that Melissa is the best lawyer to get you through your divorce. Trust her. You won't be sorry.

She prides herself on being compassionate, understanding and accessible to her clients as two of the most important factors dealing with the practice of family law. However unfortunate, I did not have the opportunity to benefit from these beliefs. Not to say in the least, that the other reviews weren't well-deserved, however in my personal experience, the fight for my best interests was a lackluster one. At the tail end of finalizing all matters, I could not determine which client's interest she was fighting for; mine or his. At times I felt pressured and rushed to make decisions that ultimately would affect my livelihood and well-being long after this matter is resolved. She mostly just relayed information and did not attempt, in my opinion, to offer me suggestions, guidance, strategy...NOTHING. She only relayed information she got from the opposing attorney. I was very fluent and clear on my wishes and on every instance I felt they were overlooked and ignored. The final agreement, in which I spent 4.5 hours negotiating on a Saturday, was totally NOT adhered to 10 months later, at her direction. I was very perturbed that I'd spent money and time only for the opposing attorney and ex-spouse to "re-negotiate" the terms. That was a total waste of my time, money and energy. Along with their re-negotiations, I had no choice but to amend my own agreed order, send it to ex-spouse and his counsel to sign and send to my counsel; all because my counsel was unavailable for over a month. The overall response rate declined immensely throughout the duration of my experience. When I needed it the most, I was not given assistance, guidance or suggestions from my attorney. This was one of the hardest, emotionally draining experiences I've had to face, and to feel like I didn't have the legal support backing me and my interests 100% has been very disheartening experience to say the least. I personally don't recommend as a divorce attorney as I had to do a lot of conceding on SEVERAL occasions, based on my own thoughts, logic, wisdom and common sense, due to the lack of guidance. I simply wanted the process over in a suitable amount of time, making myself available at ANY time to take care of matters at hand. My counsel didn't aide in making it prompt and as least stressful as possible. I felt very demeaned when she asked for the balance due in two payments, and I told her that amount did not fit in my monthly budget, and my monthly car payment equated to half of what she wanted me to pay. The words she spoke to me were: "Well that's what happens when you buy these fancy cars!" My car note had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this situation at hand, and to have to audacity to utter such a vile statement, set my emotions off! The comment was unprofessional at the utmost. Ending that conversation, I felt belittled, insulted and humiliated to say the LEAST during this interaction.

The Best of the best. Mr.Ballard keeps me updated every other day about my case. He's available anytime for questions and always makes me feel like I'm his number one client. He really has been a blessing and made the road of this case a lot easier to endure. Thank you Mr.Ballard for all you have done and if I could give ten stars that's what you'd have. Keep up the great work and I'll be recommending your firm to anyone who needs it.

Good law firm in

I want to thank Attorney Ballard for helping me through one of the most difficult moments in my life. I was in a car accident just five days before graduating, which left me with a broken nose. From the first day of my case to the last day, Attorney Ballard was knowledgeable and professional. He guided and help me navigate through any twists and turns during my case. I can say any questions or concerns I had were answered the same day. What meant the most to me was that Attorney Ballard took the time out of his day to call and see how I was feeling after my surgery. I could have never managed my situation alone! He negotiated an excellent and deserved settlement for me. I would with out any hesitation recommend Ballard Law for any of your needs. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your help!
