Child Custody/Modification
My husband and I came to David after being referred to him by our friend that had used him previously. We had a custody situation that required immediate attention. We had been let down by lawyers we had used in the past pertaining to this same case, but David made us feel like we finally had someone willing to listen to us and made us feel confident that we not only had a case but that we could win our case and with David by our side, we did. David was very attentive, understanding and honest with us. We feel that for the first time someone truly cared about what was right by our children. We will, without a doubt, use The Ward Law Firm in the future to handle any of our family court cases. My husband and I can not express how grateful we are to have found David and to have him handle our case this summer. Our family is beyond thankful! Taylor (David’s Assistant) is as equally as amazing. She was there to help answer any of our questions, no matter how small they were. She kept us in the loop on every single detail pertaining to our case. We highly recommend The Ward Law Firm! Thank you, Dave, (and Taylor) for all that you have done for our family! YOU’RE THE BEST!

Dave Protects Business Owners
Dave does exactly what he says -- he protects business owners. He provided me with an honest assessment of my case and I believe he genuinely cared. Whether I was speaking with him by phone or meeting with him in person, he was always fully engaged. If you want to make sure that you avoid major mistakes and headaches 'after the fact', I recommend you hire Dave. It's extremely important to get everything right the first time.

TPO
Mr. Ward provided exceptional service with First Class Representation!! I could not be happier or more pleased with The Ward Law Firm. Mr. Ward represented me in a TPO where not only was it granted but I was also awarded custody of my 13 month old for 1 year!!!! I recommend Mr. David Ward to anybody and everybody :0)

Great advice !
I spoke briefly with Mr. Ward about a child support issue I am currently having. Mr. Ward listen to everything I had to say and gave me some great advise. I would recommend anyone who needs help with divorce/ child support issue to reach out to him.

I was especially impressed with the speed in which we were able to resolve issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Ward to anyone that is in need of a lawyer who is deeply competent in family law.

Divorce Case
I approached David with my divorce case which was actually going nowhere. I had approached many other lawyers earlier and I used to get confused a lot after consultation. David took up the case and made it look so simple it did not take much time to get my problem resolved. He is very professional, doesn't mince words, makes you feel very comfortable with his approach. I definitely would recommend him to any body.

Professional and Totally Awesome!!!!
Mr Ward represented me in 2013 on several traffic charges. He saved my drivers license as well as possible jail time. He was very thorough and communicated every step of the process right through the court proceedings and follow-up. I highly recommend Mr. Ward to anyone who needs a professional and personable attorney--and he will work with you on costs! AAAA++++

BLINDSIDED
Mr. Ward was very helpful to my daughters' abusive father and I would strongly recommend his service to financially fortunate individuals. He insured a quick subpoena which didn't allow sufficient time for the other party to obtain legal counsel or supporting documentation.
Response from David Ward August 16, 2015
Dear Blindsided: I have given a considerable amount of thought to how I should respond to your comments. While I think it is Avvo's policy to only allow clients to post reviews, I think most people have figured out you were an opposing party. Despite the baseless accusations against my client, I have elected not to flag the review for removal for one reason: I have never received a 5-Star review from an opposing party before. In fact, I have never heard of another attorney receiving a 5-Star review from an opposing party. I hope you wrote it because you felt you were treated with dignity and respect despite the circumstances that were the cause of our interactions. Either way, save for the unfounded suggestions about my client, thank you for the otherwise kind review.

Outstanding service!
David Ward did a fantastic job with a rental property termination agreement-- he was very professional, responsive, timely, and thorough. Dave's sage advice and support for the military reflects his patriotism and dedication to service. I highly recommend him for your legal needs!

Help with Fraud
David did an unbelievable job making sure that the problem I had was taken care of. I was being taken advantage of by my former apartment where I used to reside. They were trying to stick me with fraudulent charges after my lease was up and had sent to a collection agency upon only 8 days after my lease ended. David went above and beyond expectations to make sure that I did not have to pay for these charges. He also had the apartment complex get a hold of the collection agency to make sure these fraudulent charges did not affect my credit score. He was very professional through all of our communication email, phone, and paperwork. I am very appreciative of his work and would send any family member, friend, or person in need to be helped by David.
