Nicholas Balland is the man for the job!! He knows all the right people and trust me when I say, they all know him. I’ve met Mr. Balland as a youth and he has always been my first phone call when I needing help, whether it was traffic or criminal. Long story short, I was facing felony charges and multiple years behind bars. I was able to take a plea deal of probation upon completing a program.

I retained Mr. Balland to represent me on a complicated set of accusations with the VA Board of Health. He was professional, very knowledgeable, experienced and effective. His contacts within the Board and knowledge of the players were extremely important for the outcome. I was well prepared for the hearing and am truly grateful for his representation. His many years of experience greatly contributed to a better outcome.

Mr. Balland is an outstanding attorney. He has undertaken a serious and bona fide negligence case for me and has worked with passion and diligence on the case. He truly and genuinely cares about its impact and pursues justice with skill, expertise, and tenacity. He is, undeniably, the best in the business and his experience shows.

I get doubt about his knowledge even this lawyer is too old and has funny dye hair and has no experience in penal cases he only can fix minor transit tickets for sure take me a lot of time and lose hours go and by to his opulent office in Clarendon even he said that is good in immigration cases, but I found that he was involved in some strange scam immigration cases, found that he has a really bad reputation in Arlington, found he was in jail and many other embarrassment situations, definitely I do not hire this lawyer again... beware

Mr. Balland has been an excellent attorney on my behalf. He has taken care of all of my matters as far as car accidents. He took care of me pretty good too! I feel relieved when He's on my side. He'll bat with those insurance companies to get what's due you! he's a hot head when it comes to dealing with them. I like him! He's the best!

After being charged with a crime and before I retained the services of Nicholas Balland, I had interviewed several attorneys in the Arlington area. What made me decide that he was the right attorney for me, was his obvious knowledge of similar cases, familiarity with the Arlington Court judges and prosecutors and his demeanor.
I had read some of Mr. Balland's previous bad reviews and I had to laugh, because Mr. Balland does not come off as a nice guy; He is abrasive and curt, but I didn't need a nice guy. I'm a nice guy. I wanted a pit-bull, not a boy scout to represent me against people who are in the business of ruining lives for the sake of fulfilling a quota.
Mr. Balland first changed the venue back to his stomping ground in Arlington from where my case was originally set. He was then able to leverage his influence in Arlington and ability as a shrewd negotiator. I would not plead guilty to any of the allegations leveled against me and requested Mr. Balland not to accept any plea deals with the prosecution. Mr. Balland was able, in a flurry of exchanges with the prosecution, to have the them drop the case.
Mr. Balland took me aside after the court ordeals and gave me a conversation full of encouragement, which helped me to then face additional issues that came as collateral to my legal ordeal. Mr. Balland is a real human being and I would recommend him to anyone, except women wanting to divorce their husbands

I had a reckless driving charge (which is a criminal charge and worth 6 points off your license, not to mention possible suspension) in Fairfax County. Mr. Balland got the charge reduced to failure to pay full attention and time. County rather than state code, small fine, no points. Literally the best possible outcome.
Yeah, he can come off as being a little brusque, but who cares as long you get the result you want? He will answer questions as long as you take the time to ask them. The bottom line: Mr. Balland gets the job done. He is a true professional, and he knows what he's doing. Worth every penny. Would recommend and hire him again.
