6 Stars

The care and manner in which Mr. Ward and his team helped us with our auto injury case was amazing. They fought for us every step of the way and made us feel cared about and valued. I can not thank the Ward Firm enough, and would definitely recommend them to everyone. 6 stars.

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!

Integrity, Information, and an Interest to Help

I had a suspicion of DUI case that was very close. His suggestions & insights were both professional and highly helpful. He presented those suggestions & insights in a manner that comforted me and also made me believe he truly just wanted to help me and my situation. The information he provided regar...ding a 'Helmandollar waiver' was critical to how I proceeded. In the end, I avoided a trial, got a plea offer that was reduced from what the DA had originally offered me, and avoided getting my license suspended. I'd recommend Justin Ward to anybody looking for a lawyer who honestly wants to help the client in whatever the best way possible is.
