Heather M. Ward's Lawyer Endorsements
"Heather is an excellent attorney and has a lot of drive, passion, and success. I highly recommend this attorney!"
"Attorney Ward is an extremely hard working attorney who fights really hard for her clients. I recently witnessed her in a Jury Trial that involved a housing case where she got a Jury Award of over $25,000, which is not including the pending 93A action which could triple the Jury Award. I endorse this lawyer."
"Heather Ward is a formidable, hard-working attorney and a friendly and positive colleague. I have witnessed firsthand the determination and persistence she brings to bear on behalf of her clients. She represented a tenant in our mutual case, but I would certainly refer family law matters to her without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Ward is one of the best. She is one of the most compassionate and caring attorneys I know. She is extremely intelligent and committed to serving her client's interest. I look forward to each experience I have with attorney Ward."
"Attorney Ward is a very knowledgeable and hard working litigator. I have worked with her several times and have always been impressed."
