  • I Appreciate London!

    From my initial phone conference with London through the whole daunting divorce process, I felt heard and supported. London told me more than once that she was my advocate and she followed through with that. She supported me in my decisions after presenting all legal angles and possible outcomes. She wanted the best for me. When I was in doubt about various issues, London was able to see through the muddle and had a positive outlook on my overall outcome. She always made me feel like I was her only client. When it came to mediation, London chose a very fair and balanced mediator who explained that not everything would go my way (or my ex-spouses way). Despite that, London fought as far as she could when it was needed. It was a long, slow day but when the mediator was consulting with the other side, London was always advising me on her next argument and strategy. London's work was incredibly thorough, timely and organized. I always felt extremely comfortable and confident with the quality of her work. London is truly trustworthy.

  • Steady Guidance

    I’m so grateful to Attorney London Ballard for guiding me through one of the most difficult transitions of my life. As a late-in-life lesbian navigating divorce with children, I needed an attorney who not only understood the legal complexities but also approached the process with compassion and care. London was responsive, supportive, and prioritized settling out of court, which made all the difference for my family. Her steady guidance and commitment to resolution made an overwhelming process far more manageable. Thanks to her expertise, we reached a fair agreement, and I’ve been able to move forward with peace of mind. I highly recommend her.

    London Ballard really was amazing during this process! I really appreciated her legal counsel and quick knowledgeable responses. She took the time to listen and understand my specific situation and guided me through the legal process that was beneficial to me and my children during this tough time. Her quick responses and turnaround was essential in my case and I’m grateful I had her in my corner. I would absolutely recommend London

  • Exceptional

    I can't thank London Ballard enough for the exceptional support and legal expertise she provided during one of the hardest times in my life. From the very beginning, she was honest, upfront, and made sure I was always informed. She truly fought for me when it mattered most and went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney who truly cares about their clients.

  • Fabulous and Personable

    London was a calming, reassuring and professional attorney in our case regarding a frivolous stalking order against my partner. We felt she managed every step appropriately so there were no surprises, and was extraordinarily easy to communicate with and quick to respond. If the unfortunate situation were to ever arise again, we would hire her immediately.

  • Supportive

    My lawyer London was amazing. I honestly was very nervous coming into hiring an attorney, and I was shocked by the care and effort that was put into helping me. I could stay confident knowing that professionally I was taken care of and heard. Through the court no matter what London stayed professional, supportive and was great at communicating things I didn’t understand.

  • I Am Relieved

    I contacted London in hopes to find someone who was willing to take on a case as atrocious mine. Due to my circumstances it was dire that I had representation. Ms. Ballard was able to take the situation and define it so that in court it was easier to make decisions which lead to having the best outcome for my family. She insured me with her patience and compassion from the beginning that I contacted the right law firm and it took a huge burden off of my shoulders knowing I had her expertise.

  • Incredible Attention to Client Needs!

    I had a trial in less than a month, that I hoped I could do solo. I soon realized I needed additional help with Oregon case law. London came extremely highly recommended and now I know why. She took me on weeks before trial and scrambled to get caught up. Drafted and prepped the trial memo, helped prep all the exhibits and my testimony. Without her, I don't know if I would have won. Thankfully, the trial memo was so detail oriented with case law, I was able to get full custody of all three kids and move them. Thank you London for everything!

  • Forever Grateful

    I began working with London at their previous firm and decided to follow them. My situation was rather difficult as my case became a cross State, I'm in Washington and I had to move my case to Multnomah County, Oregon. I had an estranged relationship with my 2 children. Limited time, no phone calls or overnights. It was my dream to have more time with them. London became that person I could confide in and helped me learn the justice system. It wasn't easy, many challenges ahead. London learned my background and got to know all parties involved. It took some time to get what I hoped for. No relationship will ever be perfect. But London helped with some of the gap. My kids and I are in a better place today. London also understood my kids language and that made a huge difference. London helped me learn. I strongly recommend London. Just remembering what we went through and feelings of giving up. London reminded me that there is hope at the end. Thank you, London. I am forever grateful.

  • Great Professionalism

    London Ballard handled my divorce case in 2023-24. Mine was a complex case that involved a child custody and cross border (US-Canada) parenting plan issues and London and her team dealt very deftly with the case. They showed great professionalism and knowledge of the legal process in protecting my interests as they navigated through the legal and administrative niceties of the case and brought it to a closure.

  • Direct

    London Ballard is knowledgeable, honest, and an excellent advocate for her clients. I felt the advice and counsel I received was helpful and I recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney who is willing to tell You the hard truth but is willing to work hard for their client.

  • Night and Day Difference

    I worked with London after a less then pleasant interaction with another big law firm in Portland and it was like night and day difference. I felt free to ask any question, no matter how dumb I thought it might sound, and they were always quick to respond. I can't recommend them enough.
