Matt is a very capable attorney. He is sharp and detail-oriented. He prepares his client very well, he answered me anytime, he is frank and goes to the point. And he was able to get me acquitted after I was falsely accused. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for a defense attorney in Hampton Roads.

Matt is an ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorney who cares about his clients. We hired him to represent our son for a traffic accident. He was very responsive and took the time to explain the law to our son. We highly recommend Matt if you are looking for a trustworthy and hard working lawyer.

I retained Matt Ballard to defend an assault/battery charge filed against me. I brought him in after the arraignment and he immediately put my mind at ease after our initial consultation. He then proceeded within 3 weeks to get the charge completely dismissed at the hearing. He was competent and professional but he gave me a confidence going into trial that I would have never had otherwise. Thanks again so very much Matt!

I was charged with a Felony for the first time in my life. I was convinced I was going to go to jail. From the beginning Mr. Ballard was optimistic when I was not, encouraging, and kind when I saw no hope. He stood next to me in court and in a time I thought I would be scared to death I felt completely calm with him by my side. He went to bat for me and I got a great outcome. Mr. Ballard is an attorney who cares immensely for his clients and fights for clients like they are family. Thank you sir I hope to one day be the man you are.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Seriously! In my case, I was accused of shoplifting. It was a misunderstanding and an honest mistake but nonetheless, I was still charged for a crime. Scared and worried for the possible charges I was facing, I knew I needed to hire a lawyer. I searched on Avvo and found a couple lawyers with free consultations and that’s when I came across Matt. He was very honest and upfront from the get go. He informed me that he used to be a prosecutor, which gave me a gut feeling to hire him on the spot. It gave me reassurance that he could look at my case from both stand points and come up with the best possible result. Also, he’s very fair with his pricing! His assistant, Sandra, is amazing as well! She would call to check in and keep me updated with everything that was going on with my case. I met with Matt a handful of times and right before my court date. He would go over every aspect of my case and made sure he had a clear understanding of what happened. Once my court date came, he showed up when he said he would and came prepared to defend my case. Luckily, my case was dismissed. If you by chance are accused of a crime and need a good.. scratch that.. THE BEST lawyer by your side, finish reading this review and give Matt a call! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

He way way beyond his duty for me. He talked to police officer, then to judge. I was scared the start with, but he calmed me down and said I’ll take care of everything and he did

I had tickets in Newport News and Hampton courts back to back days. I consulted with Mr. Ballard and hired him. My first court date for one of the courts was during the midst of the Corona virus shut down, and Mr. Ballard was able to get a continuance. He was able to get both cases dismissed. He knows the court system very well. He and his team are the very best. I respect him very much.

I was recommended to Mr. Ballard by a friend due to a recent drug charge. Mr. Ballard worked tremendously for me and even though I have had prior arrests, he was able to keep me out of jail with no problem. Also he’s very reasonable with fees. I would definitely recommend him for your criminal defense.

I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of Mr Ballard, I decided to hired him because since day one he expressed concern and provided to me that sense of trust which sometimes is hard to find in attorneys , with his knowledge and confidence my case was dismiss, what it could had been worse for the circumstances and lack and miss of information provided in the case. I highly recommend Mr Ballard.
