About Eric B
Eric B Ballou built a foundation in finance before he entered legal practice. He earned a B.S. in Finance with Honors from Oklahoma State University - Tulsa. The training sharpened his numerical instincts and gave him a practical lens for business issues that later informed his work as an attorney.
After college Ballou turned to the law and established his practice in Colorado. He is licensed to practice in that state and holds current membership in professional associations. His background in finance informs the way he evaluates cases and advises clients. He tends to approach problems by breaking them into quantifiable pieces and then translating the results into legal strategy.
Throughout his career he has moved between transactional matters and dispute resolution. He commonly works with clients who face issues that sit at the intersection of money and law. That can mean analyzing contracts, explaining financial implications to nontechnical clients, or coordinating with accountants and other professionals. He pays attention to the numbers and to how those numbers affect legal risk and practical outcomes.
Colleagues describe Ballou as someone who favors clarity over jargon. He explains complex topics in straightforward terms and frames options so clients can weigh trade-offs. He also prepares written analyses designed to be useful to judges or opposing counsel, not just to the clients who commission them.
Ballou practices from The Frickey Law Office. There he handles matters that require both legal judgment and financial literacy. He represents individual clients as well as small businesses, and often serves as a bridge between legal counsel and financial advisers. He tends to take a methodical approach: define the issue, quantify the stakes, then pursue the most efficient path to resolution.
Outside client work he maintains involvement in professional associations and keeps current on developments in law and finance. He updates his practice techniques to reflect changes in rules and market practice rather than relying on precedents alone. He currently focuses his practice on representing clients at The Frickey Law Office.
