No divorce is easy. I would venture to say some are more difficult than others. In an emotional time, I had the presence of mind to make the best decision in hiring Ms. Nupur Bal to represent me. Ms. Bal is by far the most intelligent, honest and highly-organized attorney I have ever dealt with and she kept the entire process in balance, moving it forward always with an eye towards my goals and expectations. Ms. Bal is fantastic and has a great team to back her up. I would 100% hire her, and them, again!

Nupur and her office staff were very helpful in guiding me through my divorce in the most efficient and peaceful way, while providing strong advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommend Nupur, her paralegal and other staff in her office.

After 30 years of marriage, it was difficult to know where to turn when I was faced with divorce. I had no prior experience with the legal ins and outs associated with a difficult and emotional process. Faced with the immediacy of the situation, I knew that finding the right divorce lawyer was key to avoiding a drawn-out emotional and financial nightmare. Nupur Bal was the right choice. She kept me realistic that divorce is a legal process with dissolving assets. She kept me focused on the goal to get divorced without a major loss of lifestyle. She has expertise in collaboration, mediation and is highly respected as a trial attorney. She clearly articulated to me the pros and cons of each tier. She used restraint by not telling me what I wanted to hear, but instead listened closely to identify and respond to my needs. I found her empathy for my individual circumstances and gracious demeanor an unanticipated bonus. I stayed emotionally grounded to consider all the options and to trust her counsel. In short, she listened to what I wanted, offered possibilities that I had not considered, advised me well and clearly had my best interest at heart. This is her business, but it made a world of difference in the outcome of my divorce settlement and more importantly in my life.

Nupur resolved my divorce case in record time. She settled my case amicably with a very difficult opposing counsel. She was always available for any of my questions and concerns. Her legal assisstant Dottie is so knowledgeable and available as well. If you want your divorce settled quickly and efficiently please call Nupur!

Hiring a lawyer is one of those things you always hope you will not need to do, so when the day came that I needed one I consulted with Nupur after finding her here on Avvo. Nupur helped explain the process that was so foreign to me in a way that helped me understand and make it through to the other side in a much better place. I was able to speak with Nupur through email, calls, and in person whenever necessary and review documentation as it was being drafted. Nupur was very understanding and always listened to help accommodate my needs as best she could, such as organizing multi-party conferences. And Nupur isn't alone, the staff in the office were always courteous whenever I had questions. If you're here reading this review, you're likely going through a difficult time yourself. Nupur is an commendable choice to get you through it.

Ms. Bal will forever hold a place in our lives as someone that cared as much about our grandson as if he were her own. She is a compassionate listener, abundantly knowledgeable, holds to a moral high ground and is always honest in her perception of how the facts are going to play out in court. She and her staff went above and beyond and I only wish that there was a higher rating than excellent.

She is a no joke attorney! She took me on as a client to help me with a custody battle and was patient and would explain something to me if I didn’t understand it!! I hope that I won’t ever need her for anything again but if I do she’ll be the lady that I call!

After 31 years of marriage, I had a nasty contested divorce case that lasted over 7 years. I had two lawyers before I retained Ms. Nupur Bal; they did not do much in my case, especially my 2nd lawyer who cost me thousands of dollars and all I got was a lot of stress and some emails for a whole year. That lawyer made no progress. Once I hired Nupur, the whole case started to be on the right track. She is exceptionally professional and hard working. She focused on my case and targeted finishing this protracted case. I spent a year and a half with Nupur because of my difficult ex-husband who did not comply with discovery, subpoenas, or even multiple court orders. Nupur was patient and was able to deal with all the obstacles in my case. She knew how to handle opposing counsel, even when my ex-husband hired another new attorney at the last minute. Nupur identified areas of my case that needed court intervention and she was ready to file motions and go to court. She was well prepared in court, which I believe made a lasting impact on the judge. She also knew when to negotiate and mediate certain other aspects outside of court. She is truly an excellent attorney who is honest and trustworthy. She is wise in her advocacy and courteous in her communications whether it was with opposing counsel, the judge, or with me. She dealt with my case as if I am a member of her family. She is tough when it comes to advocating on behalf of her client and she is equally as sweet and gentle when it came to communicating with me. This was comforting to me as I went through this difficult ordeal. I want to thank her deeply, as well as her paralegal, Dottie Stebbings, and the rest of their staff. I highly recommend Nupur Bal.

My first divorce attorney had health problems and I was looking for alternate representation when I met Ms. Bal. It was a very smooth transition, Ms. Bal's office contacted my previous attorney and all the records were transferred without any hassle for me. In representing me Ms. Bal was 100% professional, always well prepared and on top of her game. She was very clear in her recommendations and when I did the opposite of what she recommended I had the exact undesirable results that she had predicted. So I learned to trust her and listen to her. In the emotional whirlwind that is a divorce she was a calming presence, firm and undeterred. She was quick and efficient, looking at the bill I always wondered how she got so much done in so little time.

I can not begin to encompass or convey my uttermost gratitude for all Ms. Bal and her staff! After a year and a half with a highly recommended lawyer and tens of thousands of dollars, I was beginning to loose hope in my divorce and custody case. I began to seek counsel elsewhere and came across Ms. Bal. After my initial consultation I felt as if all of my fears were put at rest. She impressed me with her professional, caring and yet compassionately aggressive persona. In a matter of weeks she was able to turn my case around with magnificently positive results for my children and I. I only wish I could have found her sooner but I am eternally grateful that I did and before it was too late. Not only did she spare me from additional unnecessary attorney fees with ZERO results, she saved my children from a magnitude of heartache and resentment towards their father. Undoubtedly Ms. Bal delivers positive results and 100% satisfaction! You will not be disappointed...she is hands down, the lawyer you need.

I retained Nupur about 6 months ago to handle a contentious divorce and child custody case. The relationship with my spouse was contentious, at best, and at times terrifying. Nupur handled it all with poise and made it look easy. She de-escalated the tension between us when possible, yet worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my children. She has an absolutely amazing work ethic and is quick to respond to questions or concerns. I couldn't be more pleased with how she has handled everything.

My first experience with a Richmond divorce attorney was terrible and I ended up at the same place I started after 6 months, minus a good bit of money in fees. Did a search online for local divorce attorneys and was a bit more thorough in my research this time. I came across Nupur Bal and at our first meeting I was impressed......and retained her services right away. She has been phenomenal in taking care of my situation in a very professional way. Always giving good sound advice and guiding me through the process. Her efforts have saved me a tremendous amount in alimony and I cant thank her enough.
