Top of the class!!

He represented me in municipal court. I received an awesome outcome that would not have happened if he was not there for me. He went above and beyond to work something out with the district attorney that even the judge gave him praises! Mr. Ward (Andy, as he likes to be called) truly cares about h...is clients and wants the best for you as a person! I just want to say thank you for the genuine person that you are!

Excellent Work

Mr. Ward has been beyond wonderful. He managed to get a fine about my dog thrown out, and has gone above and beyond since then. Always there for advice and always returns a phone call unlike some other attorneys i have meet. I plan on calling on Mr. Ward for any and all legal matters in the future. ... Mr. Ward has been a huge asset to my small business as well.

Excellent representation

Mr. Ward represented me in a complicated divorce matter with custody issues. He was very knowledgeable and quick to return phone calls and emails. During a very difficult time he was very professional yet compassionate. Would definitely recommend him!

Good lawyer!

Mr. Ward did a great job with my DUI case. He took the time to explain the law and what my choices were. He did alot of research and stayed after the prosecutor to get me a good deal. I recommend him.

Honest

I'm so confident in knowing that Andy is working my case. He is honest and dependable. It means so much to have an attentive lawyer to speak to me directly and help me with this case!
