I reached out to chat about my case and to potentially hire him to represent me but he calls me, talks over me and will not even listen to me. I guess he just didnt want to take my case. He could of just said that instead of acting the way he did. I recommend someone more professional.

Complex cases with multiple facets like divorce, custody and other elements all looming in one giant cloud of uncertainty and anxiety, are terrifying and Mr. Ball not only takes the caseload head on he also goes beyond with a personalized understanding of what the client is going through and provides peace of mind in a situation where peace doesn't seem attainable. We highly recommend Mr.Ball and appreciate what he does for the legal system and the community he serves.
