Best Lawyer

Please confirm your account to post your review 5/28/2020 I've been represented by Justin Ward several times thus far and though the circumstances of him having to represent me haven't been highlights in lifetime (criminal matters), I am 100% proud to say he represented me. As I navigated my ...way through the consequences of bad decisions in life, Justin has been nothing short of Family to me and has guided me through every step of the way. Today I walked out of court with him just having a judge dismiss all of past felony charges and expunging my record. I actually couldn't believe it and was speechless for a while. I don't want to get into the specifics of my case in a review but what I want to share is that Justin of TheWardFirm has come through for me on many occasion and every penny spent has been worth his services. I have referred friends to him and the result is also gratitude for connecting them to him. Thank you Justin.

The best lawyer hands down

I currently caught my first case and hired Justin Ward as my attorney. He by far over exceeded my expectations! He got me what I wanted, or should I say what I was hoping for! He knew I had a pregnant wife at home that depended on me so he went above and beyond to make sure I didn't have to do jail t...ime. Then I got denied house arrest through Sacramento county, and my terms were if I got denied then I would have to do jail time, but Justin didn't accept that! He scheduled another court date (note; I had already accepted my plea deal) we went back in front of the judge and Justin requested that I do house arrest through a private home detention company since Sacramento county denied me and the D.A and judge both agreed, so thanks to Justin I am still able to go to work every day and support my family, and the best part I will be there for the birth of my son!
