Highly Recommended

Justin has represented one of my family members as well as friends I have referred. Justin always starts with listening to your issue or question then providing honest and thorough suggestions for next steps. His knowledge of the law, persistence, and follow through are excellent. Justin is trustwort...hy and has been recognized by his community and peers for his servant leadership. I highly recommend hiring Justin to represent you.

Outstanding Service

I helped my family hire Mr. Ward to handle a DUI case for my cousin. He was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entirety of the trial. His communication is clear and concise, while being fully transparent and very knowledgeable. I am filled with gratitude for the work that Mr. Ward was ...able to do for us.

Best Attorney in Northern CA

The Ward Firm, specifically, Justin represented me on my personal injury claim. Everyone who has ever been involved in a personal injury claim with insurance companies knows that insurance adjusters are not out for your best interest. They are vicious and have their strategic method of getting you to... involuntarily settle your claim. That is why I hired, “The Ward Firm.” Justin walked me through the entire process. I was comfortable. I felt knowledgeable about my claim. I was aware of my claim through the entire process and was involved in the settlement. Every time I inquired about my claim, Justin was patient with me. The important part was I did not have to deal with the hassle of insurance adjusters. Justin handled it and I knew I was in good hands.

Excellent Criminal Attorney

I highly recommend Mr.Ward. Excellent communication skills and exceptional knowledge of laws and the legal system. Invaluable skills when your in need of legal help. He replied to my calls/text messages promptly and took the time to patiently explain everything to me in FULL detail. Without Justin re...presenting me. My family and I would be struggling. Thanks to Justin's dedication. I get a second chance. I can't thank him enough. A true professional. Stop reading reviews and call him now! You'll be happy you did.

A Man of Character.

Justin Ward is a force to be reckoned with. He went to great lengths to make sure we understood the process and options as they were presented to us. He commanded the room with confidence and the jury was very engaged and attentive whenever he spoke, so much so that the D.A. even had to admit she c...ouldn't compete with him. Without being granted an extension he still was able to out shine the D.A who had had the case for close to 8 months. I would highly recommend Mr. Ward!! His knowledge of the system, attention to detail, ability to transcend color lines, and his responsiveness are the characteristics that stuck me the most. He gets things done in short order and with the most precision that you have no doubt he is in control. Justin fought for my brother and I could not be more grateful for his support and representation. He is the reason my brother who originally was facing 18-21 years in prison is now home. Mr. Ward came in late, accessed the situation, determined a strategy and got it done!! He is AMAZING!!!
