My 2011 experience with Stacey R. Ball was very positive. His fees are reasonable and value I received for the money was outstanding. Luckily, after his advice my situation was resolved almost amicably. You will not believe how reasonable some people can become after they start suspecting you have a good lawyer. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you suspect you might need a lawyer in the future because of some developing situation at work, I highly recommend you wait no more and talk to Stacey.Update in 2020:I cannot write more reviews, it looks like one review per account, so I am editing the existing review. Another unrelated incident in 2020. Another consultation and advice what to do next in order to steer clear of unpleasant developments. His very reasonable consultation fee is the best investment I ever made in my peace of mind. He was busy so he could not meet me on the day I wanted, but he met me two days later, which was perfectly fine. After talking to him it became much more clear to me what to do and what to avoid doing. Quotes Supreme Court cases as references when he explains things as to what to do and why, looks like he knows them by heart.Update 2025:I visited Stacey in 2023-2024 several times, sometimes for consultations sometimes for something more involved. He is excellent as usual. I find his advice and other problem solving things he did for me very valuable. Money well spent.There is a good reason why he is busy. He is a very effective lawyer and he helps achieve just outcomes. There is nothing automatic about justice, high skill is required to get there. If things are going sideways at work, it is important to get advice as soon as possible. Talk to Stacey right away. Very highly recommend.
