Best Dallas Attorney hands down!

I recently h mr. Ward to represent me on a felony case and 5 misdemeanors cases with violations of probation. I had a blue warrant issued for my arrest and was facing two months county time. Mr. Ward who is not only so very down to earth, he is the only attorney I would recommend to handle your cases.... He got me time served on all my cases and I was in and out of court in a day! His prices are very reasonable and he is truely an outstanding attorney to respondent you.

BEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN DALLAS

Demarcus was initially appointed to my case by the courts in 2013. I was facing felony 1 charges of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance which carries 5-99yrs in TDCJ. I was already on the run from the state of Texas, a strung out mess living in hotels and barley getting by. Demarcus wa...s able to get my 3yrs deferred probation with pro-rates fees in a situation that seemed utterly hopeless. I then relapsed and went back out after enduring almost the entire duration of the probation, and this time I just knew I didn't stand a chance, that the state would have no mercy on me as I had been playing cat and mouse for a very long time. I went to treatment in Miami, FL in January 2016 and when I got out I went straight to Demarcus's office and after a brief consultation I hired him that day. He gave me 50% off what he typically charges for a case like mine and with a retain fee of half of that he began working on my bleak situation. I was convinced I was going to prison this time... I'd exhausted all my resources. But within days Demarcus had my warrant eliminated and placed me on a PR Bond, he went before the judge with every detail of my story and explained that I was truly on my path to redemption. Within a month after bond I was to be reinstated on my probation. I would recommend Demarcus to ANYONE in need of a man of integrity and of the BEST criminal defense representation in Dallas.

Posted by Chris | March 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Does not finish cases

I paid Demarcus Ward $1500 to make a Class C Misdemeanor case get expunged back 3 years ago. He took my money and then I just found out the case was never expunged, nothing was filed by Demarcus Ward except to say he was the defendant attorney, he basically took my money and never finished my case. I...f I hadn't seen my mugshot on a website I would not have known. And soon after he took my money he stopped taking my phone calls. I just contacted his office by phone and by email, and no reply. I had to file the expungment myself. A real shiester here, avoid him if you don't like losing money.

GREAT LAWYER

What can I say about this awesome lawyer? I had my back against the wall, and he came through for me. My case was federal, which he doesn't get a lot of, so I worried about his credibility. I must say he did a great job by getting me justice. If you need a lawyer to have your back, he is the one! Hit... him up!!

Excellent Attorney!

I hired this attorney for active warrants I had on an assault and traffic violations. Mr. Ward was able to get all my tickets dismissed without me having to appear to court. He saved me over $2,000 worth of fines and court cost. He was also able to get my assault charge dismissed keeping my record cl...ean. Highly recommend this attorney for any and all your legal matters!
