Posted by C DEAN | February 25, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Difficult Divorce

I have been working with Mr Ward since October of 2018. While my divorce should have been concluded by now the other party has done everything they can to delay my desire to obtain this divorce. She hired and fired 5 attorneys and is currently looking for number 6. Christopher has been successful i...n having two TPO's removed, having my spouse permanently removed from our home and giving me the ability to retain enough income to live until this can be settled. He has positioned me to be successful in obtaining a fair and equitable divorce. His knowledge and guidance throughout the process has been a life saver. His rates are extremely reasonable and he has made this extremely difficult process easier to manage and live through.

I can recommend Chris Ward, with confidence.

Chris Ward, took my case to court, defended me brilliantly and secured a successful ruling from the judge. What impressed me, throughout the time I retained Chris' service, was that he connected well with my case, in terms of details, understanding, and focus. I was equally impressed with his profes...sional approach; his timely response to calls I made to him; response to emails, and willingness to answer my many questions. Finally, Chris was recommended to me, and I am happy I met and hired him. Please allow me to recommend him to you.

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.
