Absolutely superb!

Attorney Demarcus Ward – there are no words to describe him but I will try: knowledgeable, reputable, hardworking, thorough, proficient, committed, reassuring….the list goes on and on. My child was facing charges that could have resulted in jail time...BUT God and Attorney Ward! The attorney was g...ood at educating us about the process and stated that he would keep us informed during this time. If he tells you that he is going to do something, please believe that he is going to do JUST that. If he tells you something, please believe that he is telling you the truth and he knows what he is talking about! Once you retain attorney Ward, push your fears aside. It is not necessary to call to check in with him because you have not heard anything. Believe me when I say no news is good news! Just know that he is busy working on your case. If you have a question or concern, Jenny (the best assistant in the state of Texas) is there to assist you! I cannot speak for anyone else but I am not rich and I spend my money wisely. Attorney Ward was my “wise” choice! There are many, many criminal defense attorneys in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (Texas for that matter) but there is only one Demarcus Ward!!!!

Angel in Disguise

Where do I begin...in 2014 I was facing 12 years in prison and was very skeptical of having a court appointed attorney until I actually met Mr. Demarcus Ward and he assured me that he was going to do beyond his best. He and his staff kept me calm and informed on every court date and every "miracle" t...hey where performing. If I had questions and his legal Secretary couldn't answer right then, she would make sure she called back with an answer. The WLG is professional, organized and fighters. In 2016 i received a 10 year deferred adjudication and was able to walk out the court room to my children and husband.

"Ward Law Gladiators"

The Ward Law Group provided an outstanding perfomance in rescuing me in my late case. Mr Ward reassured me that though my case was one they were least known for handling that they would be the right team to prove my innocence. They kept me informed every step of the way and also allowed me to take ca...re of the fees w/no extra pressure. To Mr Ward I am grateful and I would recommend anyone to allow WLG to represent them.

Amazing service

He made the whole process very easy for me as a client. They appeared in court for me and always kept me up to date on everything going on with the process. I also had my fines reduced which really helped me out. I would recommended his services to anyone.

BEST LAW FIRM IN DALLAS

I hired this law firm for their bond services. My boyfriend got arrested on a case and multiple tickets. We contacted a couple of bond companies but they were requiring alot of things in order to bond him out. We got referred to Mr. Ward so we decided to contact him. Him and his staff are very effici...ent. They made the process very easy. Their prices beat all the bond companies we contacted. His assistant is very pleasant to deal with and kept me informed step by step. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.
