Ms. Ballard started practicing law in Los Angeles in 1988 and within a year attained her Nevada Bar license. After clerking for a white collar criminal defense firm in Las Vegas, Ms. Ballard started her legal career working for two Los Angeles firms, the first downtown, near Pershing Square, and the other in mid-Wilshire not far from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Now Ms. Ballard has taken all of that experience on the defense side, to assist Ballard Law Practice injured clients in many Northern Nevada and California counties, including Douglas County, Carson City and Washoe Counties in Nevada, and Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, Yolo, Marin, Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties in California
Outside of her practice, she served as a volunteer Pro Tem Judge for Sacramento County from 1998 to 2006 and as a compensated panel Arbitrator in both Sacramento and Placer Counties arbitrating tort disputes until 2012.
