Best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of meeting

Linda Ward’s Family Law group handled a very contentious divorce for me in 2013/2014. She was so thorough, kind, and straightforward in her guidance with me and I was scared to death of the unknown. I can’t say enough good things about her availability, kindness, and no nonsense as well as her exem...plary staff. You will not be sorry and will get what you should get.

Linda Ward

Linda Ward and her staff are friendly, Careful, understanding and thorough. I felt that I was in great hands. She guided me through the divorce process. I didn’t follow through with the divorce. She wrote A post nuptial agreement for financial security. It has worked out well!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
