Many other metro Atlanta counties

have clerk's offices that fail to keep attorneys and clients properly

informed as to court dates and times or lack the people skills to effectively

interact with the community, but Mr. Ballard's office not only accomplishes

this goal, but it accomplishes it with courtesy.

This attitude has kept me coming

down to Fayette County for the past 14 years, and I am convinced that

Mr. Ballard is the person who has set the Fayette County Clerk's Office

above the rest of the metro Atlanta area court clerk's offices.

Fayette County can thank Mr.

Ballard for this exemplary office, as he leads and sets an example for

his entire staff to follow. I strongly encourage every person in Fayette

County to continue the tradition of excellence that he has established

in Fayette County and vote to reelect Bud Ballard to his position as Fayette

County Superior Court Clerk.
