Honest, and Pro-active

I hired Attorney Ward because I was having an issue with my mortgage company, Mr. Ward immediately called the attorney at the mortgage company and was able to give clarity about the situation at hand. Mr. Ward, gave me frequent updates. I would totally recommend this attorney.

My attorney, Michael Ward

When I realized bankruptcy was the only option I had left, although I didn't want to do it, I consulted and hired Michael Ward to be my attorney. I found him to be professional, thorough, efficient, and supportive as he walked me through the process and completed the bankruptcy. I would definitely ...recommend him to others who are in such a situation. - A Grateful Client

Great experience

Mike Ward represented me in a bankruptcy in 2016. When I first met Mike, I was confused about the process and nervous about any outcome. Mike thoroughly explained the options and proceeded to be my chapter 13 attorney. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
