Terrible

Steve is a great attorney when in court. His paralegal Brandy is his downfall. This woman will ignore calls, e mails, sending you paperwork and basically any form of doing her job. She claims she’s doing things in which aren’t true. I have a child involved in my divorce. His father had to tell me had... gotten visitation because this woman was too lazy to( and had known for weeks!)Then calling to discuss this problem with her she never had my attorney call me back heck she probably never gave him the note to call me and proceeded to yell at me over the phone. She is horrible. If you want to lose then be sure to work with her! Don’t hire Steve unless he gets a paralegal that wants to do their job. She’s messing with peoples lives here. Very unprofessional woman.

Worst lawyer ever

Takes your money,doesn’t return calls,doesn’t subpoena any evidence very crucial to case. Works more for the other side. Did not do a background check as ordered to by client on the other side & now it turns out he has criminal history,& even on government watch list, you would be better off with a ...pet rock than Steve as your representative

A Pitbull of a Lawyer

Mr. Ward represented a family member for us who had his wife and girlfriend living in the same house, one upstairs and one in the basement, he was involved in a domestic with his girlfriend and she was trying to keep all his belongings and his daughter, whom she and the wife had no blood relation too.... My husband and I hired him to represent our family member and us to get his daughter and belongings back! Mr. Ward is an excellent attorney and knows how to take control in the courtroom. His legal assistant, Mrs. Wilma, is very helpful and knows what she is doing! The entire office staff are professional and treated us like people that they have known for a long time! You cannot go wrong hiring Mr. Ward, he does his job and we say he is a pit-bull of a lawyer because he doesn't take any bull and knows how to fight for his clients!

BEWARE

Charged me $100 for 5 mins of conversation with ZERO advice or help! Treated me like I was an idiot and charged me for it! BEWARE!!!

Keep Looking

Over priced for what you recieve, unresponsive, seemed more willing to protect the other parties interest than mine, had to force issues with him, after payment, his favorite word is "settle" Would NOT recommend him to anyone, ( and I "WON")
