Child Custody Case

I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal counsel for a child custody dispute or any legal matter to hire Joseph Ward. Mr. Ward took on my case from a previous attorney less than a year ago and today after 5 years of fighting in court he helped me put my family back together. I will forever b...e grateful for his brilliant mind, his persistence and heart. He truly cares about his clients and that is something you don’t see very often.

Best Litigator ever!

My attorney, Joseph Ward, helped me put my family back together. A trial 7 days long, and an ornery opposing counsel only increased Mr. Ward's passion to assist my family. Thank you!

Dismiss Assault Charge

I was arrested for an assault charge. A friend of mine had a similar arrest and recommended Joseph Ward. I was frustrated about the whole situation since these were observed charges. So I hired Mr.Ward. Mr.Ward made me feel comfortable talking about the situation. He asked the necessary questions tha...t would help resolve this case. Mr. Ward is an excellent speaker, professional, and a charismatic skilled lawyer. He kept me up to date and informed me throughout the process, which made me feel a little easier. I was amazed at the outcome, the case was dismissed; no jail time, no fines, no probation. Mr.Ward, I cannot thank you enough for all you hard work. You are a brilliant lawyer!

Highly Recommended Defense Attorney

If I ever need a criminal defense attorney, I would, without hesitation, contact Joseph. His work ethics are high quality, he worked efficiently and encompasses what a great lawyer ought to be. I went with Joseph because I needed a defense attorney urgently however I wanted more bang for my buck. His... price is reasonable but more importantly his knowledge surpassed my expectations , especially for the level and experienced service he provides. The case seemed like an eternity because of all the allegations the State was accusing me of. He is a 5 star lawyer. I highly recommend him, more highly from the work he performed on my behalf due to his strong work ethic, dedication and insight into the system.

Trustworthy, Honest and Great at his Craft!

Mr. Ward was my defense attorney back in 2016. I had the great pleasure of having him by myside. I had been accused of possession of illegal substance. If I was convicted then I would have to serve at least 2 years. The situation was tough on my family. He not only won my case but has given my great ...advice on other legal matters. I am truly grateful for the work Mr. Ward had put into winning my case. And I can say without a doubt, that I would work with him again if I need another attorney.

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.
