After graduating from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2006, I started working in the criminal justice system as a prosecutor. It quickly became apparent that there was a real need for criminal defense attorneys who fight hard for their client's best interests. Every day, I saw people in the courtroom who needed quality defense services at a price they could afford.
So I decided to open my firm and focus my practice on helping people who have been arrested and/or faced with criminal charges. My experience on both sides of the courtroom provides valuable insight into the prosecutorial argument and how the judge might view your case.

I found myself in trouble and felt there was nothing I could do. I felt hopeless. I reached out to Ms Ballard immediately and explained what happened. From day one she and her staff stayed on top of my case and kept me informed of what to expect and possible things I can do to help myself. She takes that hopeless feeling off your shoulders and makes the impossible possible. Never ever think there’s no one that will understand or have compassion, she has that and so much more! Her staff is amazing! Nothing but kind words were said and they were my biggest support through all of this! I cannot

I used this law firm when I needed a lawyer for a traffic violation because I am from out of state and needed representation. Initial contact was great. After I paid the fee it appears all communication was cut off unless I initiated it. I called to get the disposition of my case to find out the court date had been pushed to the right. I called back again to be told "my disposition would be mailed to me; I called back yet again to find out " we were out of the office due to covid-19 yes and so is the rest of America. My court date was in September here we are in the last hours of November and NOTHING

Mrs. Ballard took on my case in 2018. My father was in the process of passing away in a comatose state. Unfortunately something happened minor and I was detained. Mrs Ballards determination and motivation finally got my case dismissed this year. My whole family is grateful and thankful. We appreciate your quality ultimate generous strong service. I would recommend her law firm to anyone. She is a fighter and an awesome attorney.
