Emil Ward

Was evicting tenants many years ago(who'd never paid rent and had no kids) and he'd say I was 'all set' after sending a letter etc yet the tenants hadn't left. This happened twice. I hired a lawyer to be tenacious and protect me from some of the distress associated with an awful situation -- neither ...happened.

After enduring an issue with a tenant for several years, it appeared that there was no way to quickly resolve the matter, and that a long court battle was ahead. Thousands of dollars had been lost because of unpaid rent. The rental unit was greatly neglected by the tenant, and it seemed that legall...y there was more protection for the tenant than the landlord. Most disturbing, the tenant was family...and the issue was presenting the threat of holding up the sale of the house as the closing date quickly approached. There seemed to be nothing left but a fog and heavy cloud that plagued the entire situation. Then came a referral to Emil Ward. Emil carefully considered the matter, indicated his willingness to take the case, and he was hired. Emil moved forward gracefully, illustrating the most efficient handling of the situation. Not only did he act efficiently, immediately issuing a 30 day vacate notice to the tenant, but he also provided instantaneous legal advisement to the landlord, contributing to the release of a lot of tension and stress, which was just the air needed for a breath of fresh air. Throughout the process, Emil was always professional, and had the presence of a friend who was very easy to talk to during a difficult time. His timing was perfect in every step of the process; and working with such skill, he was able to assist in settling the matter within a month or so without going to court! Because of negotiations by Emil, the tenant agreed to take the settlement offer, and moved out without any problems before the closing date, allowing for a smooth sale of the house. Hiring Emil was just the air needed to dispel the fog and move the clouds away. It is truly believed, that it was no mistake that Emil was the right attorney for the job. His level of professionalism, experience and skill in housing matters, brought just the air needed to refresh a toxic landlord situation, and in fact also helped to preserve a family relation.

We worked with Emil Ward to evict "squatters" from a family home after a sudden death in the family. Mr. Ward carefully led us through every step of the process and quickly responded to our e mailed questions and concerns throughout. He came to court and worked with us through the mediation process-...- helping us come to a fair and enforceable agreement. Emil made a distressing situation bearable, and it did result in the eviction that was so important for us. We recommend Emil without reservation--and yes he did write the book (which gave us confidence.). It was a pleasure to meet with him and work with him. Thank you Emil

I am a real estate agent and I recently worked with Attorney Ward on a residential real estate sale where we represented a difficult buyer. Attorney Ward went over and above the call of duty, keeping both buyer and seller sides focused on the end game; the sale of the property. He handled a number ...of issues and concerns from both parties with professionalism and was a key component to bringing this sale to the closing table. This was our first transaction together and I found Attorney Ward to be not only professional and completely competent but a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again soon.
