Background

At Ball Eggleston, Jack Walkey’s focus is on individual and family estate and tax planning, estate administration, trusts, tax — deferred (I.R.C. 1031) exchanges, and residential, commercial, and farm real estate. 

Jack was introduced to law and to Ball Eggleston by a former member of the firm. After clerking at Ball Eggleston during law school, he was glad to join a firm that provides good, competent legal service.
