"Steve Ball was my legal counsel in a wrongful termination claim. I found him to be extremely capable, strategic and professional. We decided to file a lawsuit, and while Mr. Ball was completely willing and anxious to litigate the case, we ultimately settled during mediation rather than subject myself and my family to more stress. I felt it was a fair and positive outcome. I give Steve Ball my highest recommendation."

"Last year I was hospitalized from a car accident. I haven't had an injury that has required a lawsuit so I asked around and came up with a couple names. Ball and Bonholtzer was the first office I went to and I got really good vibes. When I met Eric he really knew his stuff and walked me through the whole process of a personal injury lawsuit. I didn't have personal insurance so he was able to recommend me to a few physicians on a lien which worked out really well. It was a long process but I was offered a reasonable settlement from the insurance--and I was inclined to take it but he actually persuaded me not to settle because he believed that we had a great case. So we took the case to trial and he fought like crazy for me. And we won! It was a really good experience--well as much as it can be for a lawsuit--and I'm very happy I went with them. I've been really blessed to have him as my attorney so I recommend him whenever I can."

"I was involved in a car accident in 2013. I hired an attorney (which I had never done before) but he seemed to be taking very long, never had an update for me, and I felt like I had to stay on top of him or nothing would get done. Finally after a year and half of NOTHING happening, I had enough and looked for another attorney. A friend referred me to Ball & Bonholtzer and I'm so glad I decided to end the relationship with the previous attorney. Eric closed my case in less than 6 months (with the best outcome possible)!!! I never had to worry about a thing. He took care of everything and made it so stress-free for me! I only wish I had come across Eric in the first place so that I wouldn't have had to deal with this for almost 2 years. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and his sense of urgency makes you feel like you are his number one priority! If you've had an unfortunate situation, Eric will take care of you!"

•"I am a firm believer that when someone is not doing their job and giving substandard customer service it needs to be stated. By the same token, when you find that very business that goes above and beyond for you I think everyone should know that as well. I contacted Ball & Roberts Law Office because I was having issues with a pending case. I was immediately contacted back the next morning by Attorney Ball. Upon our talking I was able to discuss my concerns. Mr. Ball was very professional and polite at all times. My case was assigned to Eric Bonholtzer, who could change the way people viewed Attorneys if everyone of them treated their clients the way he treated me. Eric was very attentive to what I had to say, he took all of my phone calls or called me right back if he was away from his office, he kept me in the loop every step of the way as to how he would be proceeding on my behalf. At no time did I feel talked down to but instead treated with the dignity and respect that I deserved. I Highly, Highly recommend Ball & Roberts Law Office. "The Law Office That Works For You, Not Against You." Keep up the great work!"

•"I had a car accident two years ago and were suggested to handle the case on my own. After seventeen month of exhausting document submissions and endless requests from car insurance company I have received an extremely unfair offer, that wouldn't even cover my doctors bills. Fortunately, when I almost lost the hope to resolve an accident issue, I was introduced to Eric Bonholtzer, since than I were able to get my sleep back. From the first minute we meet he demonstrate an extreme professionalism, Eric took control over the situation since the day one and in a very short period of time (I only had few month left to close the deal) he resolved all problems related to my case. Car insurance company not only payed all the bills related to the accident but also wrote me a check to compensate for pain and suffering. I highly recommend Eric Bonholtzer as an accidental attorney, give him a call even if you think your case worth nothing or you already have lost your time. You could be very pleasantly surprise from the outcome Eric can get for you. Thank you very much Eric for helping me to get such an amazing result with my case. Sincerely NP."

•"Eric Bonholtzer is the best, called their office on a Sunday morning and Mr. Ball (the other partner) picked up and took my message. Mr. Bonholtzer called me back within an hour while the other attorney I spoke with would take forever to respond to even simple questions. Don't waste your time by going to another attorney. Eric Bonholtzer is wonderful."
