8 years ago Richard helped me out of an impossible situation where I was falsely arrested by a corrupt investigating officer twice and harassed for months in my home by the police. The same rookie officer (a.k.a. super trooper) beat up a young lady at a drinking driving counter attack and plead guilty to assault but was still allowed to be on active duty during his 9 months of probation. This constable appeared mentally unstable and the detachment stood behind him 100% - I was in fear for my own personal safety and a criminal record would kill my livelihood. Richard protected my safety during 18

I cannot give enough praise about Mr. Ballantyne. I'd give him 10 out of 5 stars if I could: he's professional, knows his legal craft, tries his best to represent you fairly, and tells it like it is.
As mentioned on lawyerratingz, he's not cheap, but legal representation is not something you should cheap out on in today's deleterious and complicated court matters. BUT is priced fairly for the positive outcome we were expecting.
Would definitely use (and highly recommend) him forthwith for any legal matters!
