Bev is tenacious and direct. She seems to strive to get the most for her clients, at least she did in my case.

Ms. Ballinger was the consummate professional (with a personal touch). She had a demonstrated knowledge of the intricacies of Family Court, and I cannot state enough how pleased I was with how my divorce was handled, and the favorable results achieved. Her billing was always straightforward, and was detailed, so I knew I wasn't being taken advantage of. She was always reachable, and would answer my questions directly. I am a "get to the point" kind of guy, and Ms. Ballinger never wasted my time. I quickly learned that anything I was asked to produce was to facilitate a smoother court process. She knew what would fly, and what wouldn't. Many times her competent Legal Assistant could resolve issues I had. As an old retired Army Sergeant, I wish to offer anyone looking for a divorce lawyer the following advice: Our unit had an astronomically high divorce rate, and I personally witnessed at least 20 divorces. My observations from the good and bad outcomes were these: The most successful outcomes always seemed to hinge on these three factors: 1) A divorce lawyer who only practiced family law. The frequently changing divorce laws needs a specialist, not a "jack of all trades". 2) A lawyer who has practiced in your area for a long time. It can't be stated enough how important it is for your lawyer to know, and be known, by the courtroom personalities. Knowing what various judges will focus on pays dividends. That only comes with long term experience in a particular jurisdiction. 3) A Female Lawyer. (Especially for guys). They always got much better results than male lawyers did, representing both husbands and wives. I won't speculate on why that is. What I do get is that a female lawyer understands "her kind", and cannot get bamboozled by another femme. The above criteria is what I used to decide on a lawyer. Ms. Ballinger met and surpassed them, with results that exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, she is a five star (plus!) rated lawyer. If you are searching for a family court attorney, Ms. Ballinger should be it.

Very detail-oriented and committed to providing the absolute best representation. Beverly will certainly invest herself in your case and will not waste time. Excellent communication and extraordinarily knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone who needs the most professional, persevering and experienced lawyer in the region.

As Beverly Ballinger was highly recommended to me, I would also fully endorse her and her legal services after having worked with her. Her knowledge of the family court is impressive. She guided me through the divorce process and gave me sound advice at every turn. She gave thorough, concise explanations of the process and answered all of my questions honestly. She helped me prepare for all of the possible outcomes of negotiations and hearings. I liked her straight forward approach. Ms. Ballinger is a professional in every sense of the word. When she walks into the courtroom she is fully prepared and represents her client’s interests. She is polished and poised and she is definitely someone you want in your corner.

Choosing a lawyer for my situation was a daunting task. After researching my options, I finally decided to choose Beverly Ballinger. What an excellent choice it turned out to be! Beverly’s attention to detail, knowledge of family law and careful guidance never failed me throughout my case. Beverly’s ability to communicate and explain complicated legal issues helped to ease my mind. Whether in mediation or court, Beverly argued for me and utilized her impeccable professionalism to defend my best interests. Beverly’s work ethic was second to none, and she conscientiously fought for me every step of the way. She is a truly remarkable person and attorney. I am fortunate and thankful Beverly Ballinger was on my team!

“Beverly did a fabulous job representing me on behalf of my daughter and I cannot thank her enough. She taught me that being nice isn’t always appreciated, and you have to be strong. I will never forget what she did for us and I strongly recommend her as your family law lawyer.”

Beverly saved my relationship with my kids and made it possible for me to preserve my 50/50 custody time. I was an out-of-state transfer with a confusing set of A/B scenario orders. Also, the opposing party added to already muddied waters with some bizarre allegations and affidavits in attempts to diminish my parenting time by tarnishing my reputation. Beverly helped me sift through medical, school and personal records to deflate the allegations and show the truth. She guided me to the right people for testimonies and prepared a solid case. At the initial hearing she was able to clearly show the judge why the 50/50 order should be upheld and got the ruling to back it up. It was a huge blessing to our family as it made it possible for me to raise all of my children together. Without her expertise and attention to detail I may have only had every other weekend.

I walked into Beverly's office on April 5, 2015 for a free consultation, broken mentally and anxious to how I will begin again after 21 years of marriage. I was spiritually led by My Lord to her office and I planned to retain her expertise after 10 minutes into our conversation. Keep in mind, I met withtwo other counsels; West of the Ashley, North Charleston then I decided on Church Street. I trusted Beverly's many years of experience to resolve my issues which she did with her female "pit bull" demeanor as my ex-husband stated upon being face-to-face at the negotiation table. Beverly, "kick butt attitude" took down his lawyer; he was gracious enough to peacefully represent himself at the final hearing. Beverly became my voice and secured my heart during my time of transition and renewal of my life; she along with her competent, Lesley A. Graham, Legal Assistant witnessed my life change from a low-level State employee to an Executive Director of a rewarding non-profit educational agency {Teachers' Supply Closet}. Both ladies celebrated my excitement with me during the early stage of my divorce proceedings. I endorse Beverly Kay Ballinger, as your Divorce Attorney, as she is a Quiet Storm you want to characterize you. To that point, she left nothing on the table during my Separation and Property Settlement Agreement and I received MY Final Order Approving Agreement and DECREE OF DIVORCE which included a sizable amount of dollars as it pertained to ALL asset division!!

Beverly has helped me with getting the maximum alimony and protection from an abusive husband. She has fought for me every step of the way. She has been professional and respectful while getting the help and support I have needed. I am truly glad she is in my corner.
