Happy Client

Ms. Ward was very understanding, kind and professional in my situation of wanting an annulment. She was always there for me for any questions I had and just before the hearing she had me come in to go over the facts of my case. She was 100% successful in obtaining the annulment and I couldn’t be more... pleased and grateful.

Fast. Clear. Professional

I was lost during my divorce process. Going to Cordell & Cordell, and having Ashley assigned to my case was a big relief. She has been fast at responding. Clear on instructions. And professional every step of the way. Thanks for your help Ashley!

Excellent job on my case!

I first came to Ashley after having a terrible experience with an extremely incompetent lawyer, who was impossible to reach and was completely unprepared for any court proceedings. I was in a very messy custody battle for my son and was desperate to find the right lawyer that would fight for my son's... well being. Ashley took my case and showed such dedication and meticulousness, even in the most uncertain of times I has the peace of mind that every effort to keep my son safe was being exhausted. Besides her extensive and thorough preparation of my case, I appreciated the time she spent walking me through the whole process. She kept me grounded and focused on getting to the end of this case in spite of how emotional I could be. I was always able to easily get in touch with Ashley and any questions I had were answered promptly and in great detail. I won my custody battle thanks to Ashley. We ended up settling the day of trial. The outcome was better than any of us expected. We had such a strong case, my son's father no longer wanted to go to trial. I would definitely recommend her. She cares about her cases and is very good at what she does. She is wonderful!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Ward is an intelligent lawyer that achieves positive outcomes for her clients. I represented the minor child in a contentious custody case and Ms. Ward represnted the mother. Ms. Ward was able to work professionally with the opposing unrepresented party and stay focused in a stressful matter. She utilized her knowledge to file the appropriate filings under emergency circumstances and advocate passionately for her client. I strongly endorse and recommend Ms Ward."
