Excellent defense attorney

Mr. Ward represented my son who was looking at double digit years in prison. He was able to get quite a few of the charges dropped and a lighter sentence. He is a very kind and caring person. He stays on top of the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend him.

Terrific Attorney

I Hired Todd to defend a charge for a stupid mistake i made. I was completely impressed by his professionalism, command of the Law, experience and his ability to reduce the impact of the charges on my personal life and financially. He was very considerate, caring and worked extremely hard to defend m...y case in court. I would recommend Todd unconditionally.

Excellent defense attorney

Mr Ward was an excellent attorney. He took the time to listen to me, understand my situation, and develop a fact based approach to my case. He was timely and thorough in everything relating to my case. I can’t thank him enough for the tremendous effort he put into proving my innocence.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Texas

Todd is the best criminal defense attorney in the state. He advocated for me and worked tirelessly on my behalf. He kept me updated on current activities & next steps and always responded promptly when I had questions or concerns. I would recommend Todd to all family and friends.

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 31

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Todd Ward for almost 30 years. Todd is the most ethical person and lawyer I know. Todd works extremely hard for his clients. He spends the time to get to know his client and their families. He reviews cases with a fine toothcomb and becomes more familiar with the facts than the prosecutor. Todd has always had the work ethic and learned how to implement it working for and alongside Dick DeGuerin. I often call on Todd for advice because I know that it will be accurate and honest."

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.
