Steve did a fantastic job with the best results. He was very honest with me on the possible outcomes and he worked hard for the best option for me. I would highly recommend Steve to represent you.

I had a DWI hanging over my head for the past 2 years with Forsyth county DWI task force pulled me over and gave me a DWI when i stopped drinking hours before i was pulled, anyway long story short, this lawyer worked tirelessly on my case he did not change the price and visited the courthouse in my name a total of 11 times in 2 years, yesterday we finally seen a judge and it all sounded horrible when the DA and officer were describing my traffic stop, but when Mr. Ball started pleading my case he tore their's apart, i thoroughly impressed with his practice. this guy is legit and will fight for you, thanks so much to ball and his office staff for a very easy and effortless(if there is such a thing) experience with a lawyer and court system, I believe Mr. Ball did his job to the fullest extent and if i ever need counsel again there will be no questions about who i call, thanks BALL!!!

Fantastic attorney. He will work hard to get the best possible outcome from your situation. No one ever wants to need an attorney but if you do Steve is the guy to go to.

Excellent experience. Steve and his team are experienced, affordable, efficient and kind. Steve is a great communicator and with this firm you deal with him directly. I spoke with other firms before making a decision and this was the only firm that offered sound legal advice instead of a sales pitch.

I made some bad choices and caught a few charges and stephen done everything a great lawyer would do he got 2 of the 4 charges dropped as part of my plea deal and as long as I keep up my end of the deal by completing my classes and stay out of trouble while on probation. All my charges will be dismissed and exsponged. He is worth every dollar and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help

My daughter had a difficult PO and needed a state to state transfer. He didn't promise any results but within a day was able to get the probation changed to unsupervised which was more than we had even hoped for. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with a criminal matter.

Excellent experience!!! Steve was flat out fantastic in helping me out of an extremely stressful situation!

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 !

Mr. Ball and his staff (Mr. Gerber) were very kind in their approach. I received a call back within the hour from my initial call. Mr. Gerber was knowledgeable and gave me space to share my story and what the issue was. I didn't have to call their office not even once to follow up because they stayed in contact with me regularly. My matter was resolved in less than two weeks and I'm glad to have it behind me. I would highly recommend this law office.

Mr. Ball really came through for me with an awesome defense. Got two very serious charges dropped down to a pjc. With a $200 fine. I could not have asked for a better outcome. He was attentive and professional. I will definitely be keeping his number close by in case I ever need him in the future, maybe for the rest of his career. Thanks again Mr. Ball. You're a life saver.

Best Attorney in TOWN !!! After a life turning experience and I thought I was doing jail time, Mr. Ball went to bat for me and got my sentence reduced to the very minimum. Sense then, I have and will continue to recommend all of my friend and aquaintances to his firm! Best for the dollar in the entire area!!!

We hired Stephen Ball to represent my brother on some serious criminal charges. It took Stephen a few months to get it done but he got the charges dismissed. He kept us up to date all the way through the process. He was also direct and to the point. Before we hired him I read the reviews and i have to say - hes not a "hand holder" - but he IS EFFECTIVE. We were very pleased.

My sister hired Mr. Ball to be my mothers attorney. He was very prompt to court. Mr. Ball handle her case extremely well. My family and I are very pleased with the out come of her case. He did exactly what he said he would do. He gave us great advise. I would refer Mr. Ball to handle anyone case. If we are ever in need of an attorney again he will be the first person I call. To some it up, words can't express the overwhelming job he performed. Thank you so much Mr. Ball for all your hard work and dedication.

My mother hired Stephen Ball in August of 2016 to represent her in a DWI case. She went to his office terrified to the point of illness. He was absolutely amazing with her. He was calm, professional, understanding, and sympathetic. He set her totally at ease. He assured her that she could leave things in his hands, and she did. She had several court appearances where her case was continued, and Mr. Ball made sure that we were advised early in the day so she did not have to sit in court all day. We greatly appreciated that, because obviously sitting in court is hard on the nerves!

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.

At my first meeting with Mr. Ball, I quickly realized he is a NO-NONSENSE attorney. He was very direct and focused with his questions and responses. Mr. Ball didn't mince words or make grandiose claims about what he could accomplish. Instead, Mr. Ball, using the facts I'd set out for him, gave a very detailed explanation of the applicable law and how he proposed to engage the same law to solve my legal problems.

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 had a complicated traffic matter that could've turned out poorly if not handled correctly. I contacted Stephen based on previous google reviews and the good ones were correct. He knew what he was doing when he came up with an innovative and solid plan for my legal issue. I decided to do exactly what he said to do and my legal issue turned out in one of the best possible ways it could have. Thank goodness for his legal advice and following the plan we talked about together. He is very experienced and used his knowledge well to my complete satisfaction.

Stephen Ball is an all around A+ attorney. From the beginning he has been extremely professional, and is obviously very knowledgeable about his trade. He is easy to talk to and worked with me in whatever way necessary at the time. He not only followed through with what he said he was going to do for my case, but he was very upfront about what the possibilities for the outcome could be. I'm so thankful he was able to help. I highly highly recommend Stephen!

I called and spoke directly to an attorney, which I thought was lucky. He’s very rude and Wasn’t even willing to hear my case. Before I even started to tell my story he said he can’t do anything for me, which is funny because he didn’t have a clue what I needed, and hung up. Don’t give your hard earned money to this clown.

First time needing a lawyer, I talked with several attourneys before talking with Mr Ball within 10 miniutes of speaking with him I knew he was more knowledgeable and just seemed to be on a totally different level just the way he spoke with me! He always contacted me at the exact times he said he would! He is a veteran of the military the same as myself so that gave me a sense of comfort. His assistant/ secretary was very nice and respectful as well! I am very thankful to have been his client! He went above and beyond my expectations I would definatly reccomend him to anyone out there seeking legal advice !!!

Stephen Ball and Nils Gerber will fight for you. If you are in need of top notch legal counsel at a fair and reasonable price, look no further. They will shoot you straight from the very beginning and let you know the possible outcome of your particular issue no matter the circumstances. They honestly care about what is best for your family and future. They will not set you up for failure and follow through with everything they say they are going to do for you. In my experience, they have exceeded my expectations. I am truly thankful for their guidance on a personal and professional level.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I called the office to schedule a consultation appointment. I spoke with the receptionist about the matters of concern, and she seemed very confident that Mr. Ball could handle the cases. She indicated that she would have Mr. Ball contact me once he was out of court around 3:30pm.

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.

I cannot begin to describe how much the Law Offices of Mr. Ball and Mr. Gerber
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.

DWI Case

Mr. Ball recently represented me in my first (and only) DWI case. From the start, Mr. Ball's advice and reassurance was superb. Though Mr. Ball informed me that my case was hardly unique in his practice of alcohol related offenses, as a recent Wake Forest graduate my nerves were shot over my potential verdict and future. Mr. Ball shared his vast knowledge and experience in a clear and concise way that helped me understand and make the best decisions possible given the circumstances. In or out of court throughout my lengthy case, Mr. Ball did everything within his power to get me the result I wanted. After all is said and done, I wouldn't even consider giving my business to anyone else. If you want the best money can buy, this is your man.

My experience with Mr. Ball was amazing!!!! When I was doing my research finding an attorney for a situation I came across all the wonderful reviews he had and decided to give him a shot. I then called later that morning and they returned my call back sooner than I thought, and upon the initial consult he advised me what to look for in an attorney if I did not retain him myself. I have not ever came in contact with a man who was so passionate about his clients or profession. He definitely made myself and my bff very comfortable and pleased to had chosen such a great person for the job. Needless to say my case was long and drawn out, but we came to fight if need be and we won And also how he presents himself speaks volumes. If you get in a jam make sure to call thus brilliant man.

Stephen Ball is an extremely driven attorney. He immediately went to work fighting for my son. Mr. Ball did not just represent on this case, he dug deep and truly fought hard.He stayed in contact regularly and never left us wondering what was happening. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Ball will bend over backwards for your benefit. He gladly explained all my options and his word is gold. There seems like nothing he can't accomplish, and that is why I decided to write this review. I am 100% grateful for everything Mr. Ball has done for me, and I appreciate him giving me 110% effort.

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!!!
