Just two weeks ago I was faced with a very sudden criminal charge and extortion threats from several people...and they were demanding a response from myself by the end of the day !
I called Steve and told him my situation ... Steve response was awesome ... first he helped me calm down and then he quickly analyzed the facts of my case and proceeded to explain what would be the appropriate response to both the criminal charges and the threats being made.
This was an extremely stressful experience.. and Steve stepped in and literally saved myself from a disastrous outcome !
But as great as Steve was in the above situation ...During this last week Steve also provided exactly the excellent skills and personal traits you want in a lawyer ....
He is Very smart.... a great communicator..both in talking AND listening ! ....and Steve has a keen ability to analyze a complex problem situation and clearly describe which are the best possible actions / solutions to take !
Her trial was last week (November 2017). My mother has Multiple Sclerocis, and I was extremely impressed by the inordinate amount of research Mr. Ball had done on her disease. He knew more about MS than our family does. He put his finger on all of the pertinent points, and knew exactly what to ask and what to say. He was masterful in her defense.
His entire office was extremely easy to work with. They are kind, understanding, professional, and they are very good at what they do. I would highly recommend Stephen Ball and his office if you need an attorney.
Mr. Ball made it clear to me from the beginning that he expected me to participate in my own defense. He was interested in the details of my case and advised me that it was such matters that often made the difference in a plea or trial. Mr. Ball asked numerous questions regrading my work history and community involvement/achievements.
I would not describe Mr. Ball as a warm and cuddly guy - but that wasn't what I was seeking when I made my consultation appointment - I was seeking results and he delivered. Highly recommend Mr. Ball if you're serious about getting a positive resolution for your legal issues.
I will say, he called at almost 3:30 on the dot, so at least there was a sense of urgency around responding to client inquiries. However, this is where it all went downhill.
Mr. Ball seemed very confused about WHY he was calling me. I reiterated that I was attempting to schedule a consultation. His response was "So, what do you want to talk to me for? My assistant does that." I clarified that I had already spoken with the assistant, explained the legal matters to her, and requested a consultation, at which point she indicated that Mr. Ball would call me, though I wasn't sure why, as I was ready to schedule when I spoke with her.
He then went into a rant about not speaking to other people about someone's case, and not scheduling consultations when someone is calling for another individual (husband, brother, child, etc) because it was just a big waste of his time because people didn't show up, and that if the person didn't care enough to call and make the appointment themselves, he wasn't going to schedule a consultation with them and they should just find another attorney.
Well, unfortunately, the person I was calling for is working today. That person was not available to speak on the phone when Mr. Ball was available in the office today. It's not that they didn't care enough to call. I simply called to schedule an appointment FOR that person, based on the availability they gave me. I never requested to speak to Mr. Ball at all, about scheduling, the actual case, or otherwise. I simply called to make an appointment. Had Mr. Ball stopped talking over me and interrupting me for more than 2 seconds, maybe I could have explained that. I am still confused as to why the receptionist couldn't just make an appointment from the beginning. What if the person needing his services was incarcerated? They can't call for themselves. Someone else would HAVE to call for them. Thankfully this is not the case for me, but Mr. Ball would never know that, because he didn't even give me an opportunity to speak.
I would NEVER give this man my hard earned money. My first impression, solely based on our phone conversation today, is that he is a "my way or the highway" kind of person, a terribly listener, and has no business in a job when he works with people. He may be good at what he does in the courtroom, though I will never find out first hand as I have no desire to work with him. Knowing your client and not making them feel like complete garbage before they even get a chance to meet you would probably be a good self-improvement focus point for him.
have helped me over the years. I have had numerous run-ins with the law and I
have always turned to The Law Offices of Mr. Ball. He is reasonably priced and unlike a lot of, attorneys. Mr. Gerber and Mr Ball really do care. They want the best outcome for your case. Not only will they help you with case, but they are there for emotial support as well and begin to help you with your recovery.
The two men were able to keep me out of prison even when they saw the situation
looked very dire even to themselves. But more importunately after defending me for over to two years, from multiple DWIs, and other charges we were always successful. They were with me every step of the way and over time we became friends.
The two men have an extensive background in the judicial field, from colleagues,
to judges, to DAs, to police officers and everyone in between. They will find
you the right judge and DA for your case because they know the system so well.
They have been doing this for a very long time.
They believed in me and at times I didn't understand what they were asking me to
do, but I did what I was asked and I think this helped me more than anything.

He may be a little rough on you but if you just listen to him you will not regret it!
If you want a lawyer to 'Walk the Walk & Talk the Talk' then Attorney Stephen Ball should be your first choice. You will not be disappointed!!!
