John and his team are truly the best

John Ward and his team have been nothing less then spectacular. My case has been a load and a half, DV, divorce, custody battle and many appeals. John has never backed down, he has stood strong and always fought for my son and I's best intrest and keeping us safe all the while. John and Michelle are ...always a phone call away and are very supportive, making sure all the bases are covered. I am so thankful for everything that John and his team do to stay on top of everything, 10/10 recommended.

John Anthony Ward

John Anthony Ward is representing us in a custody case. Mr. Ward is a consummate professional, and he treats us as though we are his only clients. He works hard for us, and he keeps us informed about the progress of the case. We win every time we go to court thanks to Mr. Ward.

Happy Campers!

Great representation! Experienced, Professional, Supportive and Fierce! We hired Attorney Ward to represent my husband in a child custody/support case. He had been struggling to maintain very basic visitation schedules with his son because his child’s mother was consistently playing games and refusin...g visitation. Attorney Ward was able to prove my husband’s case, and we currently have primary placement of his son. That is such a difficult thing to do! Courts are generally more in favor of the mother when it Comes to child custody cases, even when the mother is in the wrong.These are very difficult cases to win. He was very patient with us, and understood well that we were emotionally invested in the results of his case. So, when we had questions or began to feel anxious, both attorney ward and his staff were great with explaining everything and putting our anxieties to rest. We spent the first three years fighting in court and trying to get by with cheaper attorneys, and even went without an attorney at all for a few months. Take it from us, it is much less expensive to just retain a high-quality attorney from the beginning rather than going to a high-quality attorney to correct years of mistakes after the fact! We are thankful that we found you attorney Ward and staff! Thank you for all you’ve done for us.
