I will use him for life...

I was facing a (erroneous ) 2nd degree assault case. Mr. Ford gathered all of the details l, spooler to the witnesses & assured me I had nothing to worry about. He was able to have my case thrown out of court without me having to go back & forth to court and it's currently being expunged as if it n...ever happened. I will recommend him to whomever I know that needs an attorney. Truly blessed to have met him.

Would hire him again - !! Very Professional

I meet Yahshuah in the court house during my initial review hearing - he was representing someone else I did not know. After hearing the charges the state was moving forward with for simply renting a car and not returning it on time. The state charged me with 4 felonies – I was worried my 20 year ...IT career would be in jeopardy. Yahshuah work out fair and reasonable payment arrangement’s – work with the state and enterprise rental car to resolve this matter. The case was dismissed with no charges filed. I’m now working with Yahshuah to on a family law matter in DC courts. Great Job Sir – THANK YOU !!!

Great Communication

Yahshuah was great at being available when I had any questions. If he doesn't pick up the phone himself, his response time is excellent. He is also very patient and thorough.

Remarkable service with excellent results!

The Law Office of Yahshuah Akhenaton Ford, LLC was phenomenal. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with this firm was. Mr. Ford worked very diligently to ensure that I received winning results. I could not have asked for better services. Mr. Ford was open and honest with ...me from the moment I first called until my case was over! I am thoroughly pleased with my choice to invest in the services of Mr. Ford and would HIGHLY recommend him to others.
