  My husband and I used this firm, we were very Happy with all of the office staff.Chris Stevenson and Tammy kept in close contact with us and never skipped a beat! Communication is a huge thing for my husband and I and they did a awesome job with communicating with us at all times letting us know exactly what was going on each step of the way they made it much much easier than what it could've been. We would highly recommend this company or anyone who is going through. An accident and needs the help. These people were absolutely amazing. They for sure will calm your nerves and make you feel relaxed and they fight for you very hard. I will have to say that I was very skeptical about using any lawyer,We have not had very good experiences with quite a few, but this company was an exception they stand behind their work for sure Thank you so much for all that you've done for us It was above and beyond.

  I hired Jackie Starbuck to represent me for my case. If I could give her 10 stars for her amazing work I would, however 5 stars is the max. She definitely deserves it! She not only listened to my case but she heard what I wanted and delivered! I've been fighting this case for 5 years total, Jackie was able to win my case shortly after I hired her! She will fight for what is right! Every time! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help! Thanks again Jackie! You're the best!

  JP Schafer, a most excellent attorney and partner at Ball Eggleston, recommended to me the services of James Cover, and I am very grateful of this recommendation. James is an exceptional attorney, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He helped me with both my wife and I's Last Will and Testament and the formulation of an LLC operating agreement, and in both matters he was outstanding. James is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and precise - he doesn't just draft documents, he makes sure you truly understand them and that they are tailored exactly to your situation. What really sets him apart is his ability to combine legal rigor with practical wisdom. He anticipated issues I hadn't even considered, explained complex legal concepts in plain language, and ensured everything was structured correctly and efficiently. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that my personal and business affairs were handled the right way. If you're looking for an attorney and law firm who is sharp, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in protecting your interests, James Cover and Ball Eggleston are the ones you want on your side.

  JP Schafer was a godsend when dealing with a very sensitive situation. We couldn't have asked for a better personal injury attorney for our daughter after she was hurt. He and his paralegal, Tamee, made a difficult situation about as seamless as they could have. Highly recommend this firm and JP for any personal injury help you need.

  When an undercover detective hit my car, I honestly didn't know where to turn. What stood out immediately about this firm was not just their willingness to take my case, but the way they treated me throughout the entire process. Their customer service was exceptional. Every email was answered promptly, every question was handled with patience, and I never once felt like "just another case." They genuinely cared — not about profit, but about doing what was right. That speaks volumes about their character and the integrity of their practice. In a situation that could have felt overwhelming and intimidating, they brought clarity, professionalism, and compassion. Their responsiveness and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind during a stressful time. If you're looking for attorneys who operate with integrity, prioritize people over profit, and truly stand behind their clients, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  Working with JP Shaffer at Ball Eggleston was the best decision we could have made. From our very first consultation, JP handled our case with extreme efficiency, sharp expertise, and absolute professionalism. What makes this practice truly exceptional is his paralegal, Tammie she is incredibly responsive, compassionate, and kept communication seamless throughout the entire process. Legal situations can be incredibly stressful, but their combined teamwork and guidance gave us complete peace of mind. They made a complex situation feel straightforward and delivered a fantastic outcome. If you want a dedicated team that genuinely cares and gets results, I would go with Ball Eggleston.
