Beverly is an amazing attorney! Divorce is such a life changing event and she was patient and kind throughout the entire process, as well as incredibly hard working. She spent countless hours guiding me step by step through every phase of my divorce, taking the time to answer all my questions. Beverly and I stood before the judge last week. WE HAD AN AMAZING OUTCOME! The judge ruled in my favor on every issue. Two major victories included being awarded sole custody of my daughter, AND I will receive a very generous amount of alimony each month. We had several other victories that day but custody of my daughter with the support to care for her was so important to me. Beverly stood up for me (and my daughter) and fought hard to protect us. I would confidently recommend Beverly to anyone in need of an attorney.

Ms. Ballinger meticulously dotted every applicable "i" and crossed all necessary "t"s through the legal process of my divorce. There is understandably, an overwhelming stress in a life change such as divorce. Yet, Ms. Ballinger professionally handled the legalities, so that I could focus on my children and the family life I felt necessary to preserve. She kept me involved in my case and helped adequately prepare me for court. I've since confidently recommended her to friends and have sought her advice and service in off shoot circumstances of my case.

Beverly Ballinger is a superb attorney who is very client oriented. She is a zealous advocate of her client's rights who after learning the facts, explains her client's rights under the law. She will always inform her clients of the options available and works with her clients to develop a plan to achieve their objectives. She encourages her clients to attempt to negotiate a reasonable settlement when possible. If not, her extensive litigation experience gives her the background to be very aggressive when necessary. She is detail oriented, extremely persistent and diligent, and always well prepared. I am an experienced trial attorney and law professor, and when I found myself in crisis with imminent need of a family law attorney, I hired her. She left no stone unturned in her efforts on my behalf. She provides high quality representation at a reasonable cost. She knows the family court system well.

Beverly has helped me with getting the maximum alimony and protection from an abusive husband. She has fought for me every step of the way. She has been professional and respectful while getting the help and support I have needed. I am truly glad she is in my corner.

Beverly saved my relationship with my kids and made it possible for me to preserve my 50/50 custody time. I was an out-of-state transfer with a confusing set of A/B scenario orders. Also, the opposing party added to already muddied waters with some bizarre allegations and affidavits in attempts to diminish my parenting time by tarnishing my reputation. Beverly helped me sift through medical, school and personal records to deflate the allegations and show the truth. She guided me to the right people for testimonies and prepared a solid case. At the initial hearing she was able to clearly show the judge why the 50/50 order should be upheld and got the ruling to back it up. It was a huge blessing to our family as it made it possible for me to raise all of my children together. Without her expertise and attention to detail I may have only had every other weekend.

I walked into Beverly's office on April 5, 2015 for a consultation, broken mentally and anxious to how I will begin again after 21 years of marriage. I was spiritually led to her office and I planned to retain her expertise ten minutes into our conversation. Keep in mind, I had already met with two other counsel, located in West Ashley and North Charleston, before I decided on Church Street.

I trusted Beverly's many years of experience to resolve my issues, which she did with her female "pit bull" demeanor, as my ex-husband stated after being face-to-face at the negotiation table. Beverly's "kick - - - - attitude" took down his lawyer; he was gracious enough to peacefully represent himself at the final hearing.

Beverly became my voice and secured my heart during my time of transition and renewal of my life. She, along with her competent Legal Assistant, witnessed my life change from a low-level state employee to an Executive Director of a rewarding non-profit educational agency. Both ladies celebrated my excitement with me during the early stage of my divorce proceedings.

I endorse Beverly Kay Ballinger as your Divorce Attorney, as she is a quiet storm you want to characterize you. To that point, she left nothing on the table in my Separation and Property Settlement Agreement, which included a division of all assets.

She answered all of my questions, developed a course of action and was able to adapt to any and all changes in my case. In court, Beverly Ballinger stands up for you. Beverly will not be bullied by anyone. Beverly gained my trust and confidence, and in the end I gained full custody of "My Girls" and received monthly compensation from my ex-wife.

As Beverly Ballinger was highly recommended to me, I would also fully endorse her and her legal services after having worked with her. Her knowledge of the family court is impressive.

She helped me prepare for all of the possible outcomes of negotiations and hearings. I liked her straight forward approach. Ms. Ballinger is a professional in every sense of the word.
