Phenomenal experience following traffic ticket

I had a ticket for 85 in a 65 - my first traffic offense. Over a single phone call I was able to retain Bree Ward for representation. Received email notifications and accompanying letters in the mail filling me in on every step of the process. After having my court appearance waived, I received an email the day of my court date informing me that my ticket had been dismissed. Best possible case scenario. Highly recommend Bree Ward and this firm for related matters. Extremely professional and dependable.

Wonderful representation

Wonderful representation

I was given a speeding ticket for going 17 over where 85 meets 85 business before the change in speed limit is posted. Bree Ward was able to get my charge reduced which prevented me from having points added to my license. Communication from her office was clear and timely. I would highly recommend her.

Response from Shea Ward April 16, 2018

Couldn't ask for more!

Mrs. Ward blew me away. I can't believe the amount of emails, evidence, paperwork, trial prep, and informing she put into my case. She was on top of every piece. There is nothing like knowing the person representing you is well prepared and CONFIDENT in the outcome. She felt like a friend more than a lawyer, I know my case as well as others meant a lot to her. At one point it seemed as though my world was an iffy game of chess...but today, we walked away with everything we hoped for in the case! I can't thank her enough!!

Gets the Job Done!

I have done business with several lawyers in the past. Too many hidden fees and time wasted. It almost felt like a corrupt industry where they were all working together to capitalize the max amount of money from their client. Then I met Shea. She got the job done fast and made the whole process easy. She didn't shy away from answering my calls with the questions. She is a must to have in your corner.

Excellent attorney

I had hired and fired 2 other attorneys over 3 years before hiring Bree Blalock for my child support and custody. Bree took care of everything in a matter of months when the previous attorneys did nothing for 3 years. Bree really cared about me and my family and made sure I didn't feel like just a client. She was very efficient in her work and won my case very quickly. I would trust her to handle any and everything I may need in the future.
