THE BACKGROUND

From 1989 through 1997, Ball & Yorke successfully represented the interests of large corporations, including the Vons Companies, Food4Less and Fedco, as well as multinational insurance interests State Farm, Hartford Mutual, CNA, Chubb Insurance and Allstate. Ball & Yorke continue to represent injured plaintiffs in personal injury matters as well.

Changes in their philosophy, however, moved Ball & Yorke to abandon their representation of these powerful interests.  The partners found insurance defense work to be unfulfilling and impersonal.  Having entered the field in the hopes of serving justice, Ball & Yorke parted ways with its corporate clientele and turned their focus on the interests of injured individuals on a full time basis. Ball and Yorke continues to represent the interest of individuals whether that is as plaintiffs or defendants.

Since 1998, Ball & Yorke has represented thousands of individuals and their families in a wide variety of civil matters from personal injury to real estate.  Allen and Brian have helped people hurt in car accidents, stood with the victims of insurance bad faith and fraud, represented employees wrongfully terminated, and assisted those afflicted with catastrophic personal injury matters.  Ball & Yorke has handled complex business litigation on behalf of small business owners, successfully represented consumers from defects in faulty products, and has masterfully resolved complex real estate transactions.
