Excellent Defense

Mr. Ward is an amazing defender. I am so grateful that he was appointed to our case! He helped me understand all the jargon that is often difficult to understand. I hope that he opens his own private practice so that others like me can benefit from his expertise!

Should have listened.

Justin Ward was appointed to be my public defender and he told me things I wasn't prepared to hear. My family scrapped together every last penny we had to hire a private attorney who talked about all kinds of things he could do to help me. That guy talked a big game when it was time to hire him (an...d pay him), but in the end delivered the exact same thing that Justin said would happen. I should have stuck with Justin. He's private lawyer quality for public defender price. He just didn't feed me a bunch of BS to get my money. He needs to go private and get that private attorney money. At least he tells the truth to his clients.

Above and Beyond

Mr. Ward provides the representation that you don't expect from a public defender. He knows the law, he works for you, and he keeps you up to date on what's going on. We need more lawyers like him.

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.

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.
