Marie C. Ballon
Partner · Valero Law Group
Marie C. Ballon is a partner at Valero Law Group and one of the most experienced trial attorneys on the team. She has practiced civil litigation since 2003, building her career representing clients in catastrophic personal injury and workers’ compensation matters.
Marie has worked on both sides of the courtroom — including time on the defense bar and a tenure with a major insurance company — before dedicating her practice to representing injured people. That insider experience is a powerful advantage: she knows the tactics insurers use, and she knows how to beat them.
She earned her law degree from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2003 and was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2003 that same year. She graduated cum laude from California Lutheran University, earning both a B.A. and a B.S. in 2000.
