Outstanding !!!!!

I needed an attorney very short notice. I literally called him at the end of his day as he was leaving his office, and he took the time to take my call . Mr. Ward proved to be beyond competent, and knowledgeable. He was kind and compassionate about my case and laid things out for me so as I could re...ally understand what was happening . He is phenomenal , and I highly recommend him . If I ever need legal representation again , I will use him !! And so should you !

Recommendation from out of State

I recently had the opportunity to hire Atty. Andrew Ward to represent me on a case in the AV that I was unable to attend as my family had relocated to the state of Ct. I easily found Atty. Ward though an online search and after explaining my situation he agreed to take my case. Atty. Ward had to g...o to court several times on my behalf. I found him extremely knowledgeable and helpful with how to proceed in my situation. He always made time to take my calls and to answer my many questions. He also took the time to continually keep me informed as my case proceeded. Atty. Ward made a very flexible and easy payment plan with me so that my family was never over burdened by the expense. I found Atty. Ward to be a caring and compassionate man that went out of his way to insure the best outcome for me and my family. He also has a friendly and proficient staff to back him up. I would highly recommend the use of his services to anyone in need of an excellent Attorney. Joel W.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
