Mr. Ward is an energetic attorney who has developed clear definitions of proper legal pathways for solving complex social problems. My case involved the kidnapping of our daughter and other legal issues. It is clear that Alzheimers, dementia, and greed bring new components to our American Democracy. Mr. Ward is an exceptional lawyer and is perfect in his judgement of people and their actions. He is level-headed and focussed and at the same time empathetic and compassionate. He is a dedicated profession and his clients well-being. He is patient and communicates effectively with his clients throughout the legal process.

I retained Mr. Ward after careful research and a personal recommendation. You can't always believe what you read on a posted review. However, in my case I can only add to those endorsements. Mr. Ward's knowledge of the legal system and Texas law have been honed over 40 years. His reputation and relationships in Tarrant County have been built on integrity and respect. Mr. Ward is very personable and caring. He fights for what is right and just for all of his clients.
His office runs like clockwork due to a professional and caring staff. My experience in what was a difficult divorce was made immensely more favorable because of Mr. Ward and his team.
