Glad I hired a lawyer

Really knew his stuff and was great in court. His billing rate was just a bit higher than others I interviewed, but he was more efficient and didn't bill me for postage, faxing me something or opening mail or any of the nonsense I've heard of. Divorce is ridiculously expensive, but I'm glad I hire...d a lawyer who was on my side.

Vincent D. Ward Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Vincent
Kathleen Swalla Amos headshot
Kathleen Amos

Family lawyer | Oct 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Vince's business d.b.a. "Help U File." It provides Limited Scope Representation for self-represented parties. This allows the client to obtain the most efficient use of their resources by hiring legal assistance for completing required forms and/or hiring a lawyer to help with litigation when it is most important, like during settlement conference or a court hearing. Many attorneys only offer full litigation services, so Vince's practice is unique. Also, it is located near the Sacramento County William R. Ridgeway Family Relations courthouse so it is convenient. For the self-represented party who cannot stand in long lines, this is a great alternative to paying a huge retainer fee!"

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.
