Firm Overview

When Pat Ballard was a carpenter and cabinet maker, an on-the-job injury sent him to the emergency room. His employer never paid the hospital bill, and, unbeknownst to him, a lien was placed on his home, leaving him in a legal quagmire.

Later, when his daughter needed tonsil surgery, he obtained all required insurance approvals, only to be denied coverage. Pat Ballard took the insurance giant to small claims court and prevailed.

Those experiences motivated Pat Ballard to attend law school and now drive his passion for helping working people in Alabama who have been taken advantage of. He understands their fears, frustration, and confusion, and has an unfaltering sense of commitment to those who become clients.

He provides exceptional personal service, handling each case from beginning to conclusion, and remaining fully accessible throughout. He tailors case strategies to suit each client’s needs and goals.

Clients also benefit from Ballard Law Office’s cutting-edge technology. By operating a paperless office, Pat Ballard is able to access every case file, letter, transcript, and deposition from anywhere he has his laptop.
