An Established Fullerton, California
Law Practice

As a business lawyer, I have been practicing law for over four decades and opened the Law Offices of J. Larry Ballard thirty-five years ago with the goal of providing effective and efficient legal representation to businesses and individuals seeking skilled estate planning services.

Experienced Orange County Business Lawyer

Early on in my career I recognized that practicing law alone was not enough to provide my clients with the legal advice and representation I felt they deserved. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in accounting, passed the CPA examine, and practiced accounting early in my career; still I recognized that working with clients in the business community meant that I need to be a part the community.

As my legal practice grew so did my involvement in public service and the Fullerton, California business community. Over 37 years I served three terms as the chairman of the Fullerton, California City Planning Commission. During that time I gained valuable insight into municipal law.  In addition, I served as the director of a bank for 30 years; serving as Chairman of the board at the time the bank was sold. For more than thirty years I have had a dual certification as a specialist in Taxation Law and Probate, Estate Planning, and Trust Law by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

Today, I am limiting the scope of my practice to areas that involve estate planning, wills and trusts, probate, business planning, and real estate matters. My experience in public services and the business community gives me uncommon insights into estate planning matters involving large estates with closely held companies. I also bring a strong background in business and finance to entrepreneurs starting new business organizations.
