Estate Planning Probate Real Estate Litigation Family Law

A Fixture of Bucks County

Barry Ballow is a Bucks County native with generations of family history in the community. Barry grew up in Bristol, where his family operated Ballow’s Shoes at 308 Mill Street, a beloved local institution that served the community for decades. He graduated from Delhaas High School in Bristol, and today the firm’s office is in that same building, a few blocks from the shoe store on Mill Street. Watching his family build lasting relationships one customer at a time, Barry learned the value of the personal touch, a principle that has guided his legal career ever since.

Barry earned his law degree and launched his legal career in 1968, quickly establishing himself as a trusted advocate in Bucks County. He served as a partner at Jackson, Bortner and Ballow in Fairless Hills before founding his own firm in 1978. Over the years, the firm grew to a team of seven full-time attorneys handling a broad range of legal matters for individuals, families, and businesses throughout the region.

Estate Planning & Probate Experience

Barry has prepared hundreds of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. He has probated hundreds of estates before the Bucks County Register of Wills, working closely with executors, trustees, and beneficiaries to support proper and efficient administration.

Community Leadership & Service

Barry’s commitment to the legal profession extends well beyond his own practice. He has served in leadership positions within the Bucks County Bar Association, including as Chairman of the Fee Disputes Committee, and has contributed to numerous other bar association committees over the years. He has also served as Solicitor to the Bucks County Prothonotary and has been active in Bucks County’s business community, including involvement in significant real estate development projects in Falls Township.

In 2019, Barry relocated his office to the former Delhaas High School building in Bristol, PA, now known as the Bucks County Office Center. This ADA-accessible location provides clients with convenient access and a welcoming environment.
