Zachary Ballin, Esq., Ballin Law

February 15, 2025

In this episode of The Good Fight: Stories from the Plaintiff Side, ClaimData CEO Jason Heinze sits down with Massachusetts trial lawyer Zachary Ballin to talk about his unique practice primarily representing injured police officers and first responders.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The history of his family's firm and how his father pioneered claims for injured officers
  • Why representing police officers is both challenging and deeply rewarding
  • How he earns the trust of skeptical clients who are used to being second-guessed
  • The adrenaline and meaning of trial work — and why vindication in front of a jury matters more than money
  • The importance of law firm systems and financial strength

If you've ever wondered what it takes to build a career fighting for those who protect our communities—and how trial lawyers can balance compassion with courage in the courtroom—this is an episode you won't want to miss.
