Tahnya Ballard

Tahnya Ballard is an attorney with Ballard Personal Injury Law and the Ballard Law Practice, representing people injured in accidents in Nevada and California. Her work includes motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian injuries, bicycle incidents, and slip-and-fall claims. She assists individuals facing claims connected to another party’s conduct. Her practice draws on many years of civil litigation experience, including earlier work representing insurers and defendants before focusing on injury claims brought by injured people.

Ballard earned a B.A. from Newcomb College, Tulane University in 1983 and a J.D. from McGeorge School of Law in 1987, according to a current Martindale profile. Her official site does not list her education. These academic credentials preceded her California admission in 1988 and Nevada admission in 1989. Her later work in plaintiff and defense-side civil litigation added practical experience with personal injury, business, real estate, and construction matters.

Ballard began practicing in Los Angeles in 1988 and obtained admission to the Nevada bar soon afterward. Early in her career, she worked with civil litigators handling personal injury, business, real estate, and construction cases. She later represented insurance companies and insured defendants in Reno and Sacramento. Her litigation experience includes defense-side personal injury cases and other civil disputes. She now applies that background to claims brought by people hurt in traffic incidents, falls, and similar accidents.

Tahnya Ballard served as a volunteer judge pro tempore in Sacramento County from 1998 through 2006. She also worked as a panel arbitrator in Sacramento and Placer Counties, addressing tort disputes until 2012. Her experience with defense litigation, hearings, and arbitration informs how she evaluates accident claims and contested evidence. Her practice serves injury clients in portions of Northern Nevada and California, including Carson City and neighboring counties.
