Andrew Ward is an outstanding lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, caring and compassionate for his client. I have had the pleasure of him representing me and in every aspect, he was simply the best. He listens and then offers tremendous advice on how to best move forward for your benefit. He is always on top of every portion of the case and will look out for your best interest all while being the great professional he is. He is hands down the best lawyer I have ever utilized or been in the presence of. My deepest thanks for all he has done for me. He truly cares for his clients. No one better than Mr. Ward.

Andrew Ward was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a reasonable resolution seemed impossible. Mr. Ward represented me in my divorce and child support case and was always calm and compassionate. He was responsive, kept me informed, caring and respectful about what I was going through. His support helped me walk through a difficult and confusing process. Andrew was always readily available and even when I had “emergencies” after hours, he always responded within minutes-instructing me as to the best course of action. In many cases, the timeliness of his replies turned out to be essential to the outcome of my case. Andrew always was on my side financially and constantly advised me about the costs and alternatives available. I am eternally grateful for his service and I recommend Mr. Andrew Ward without reservation.

Andrew Ward is by far the best family law attorney in the Antelope Valley. His reputation is one of someone you can trust to be honest from the beginning, knowledgeable, and able to get the results you are looking for. My child custody case went on for almost three years. In the end he was a support I could always count on and he fought for, and won, every battle we fought for my daughter. I will always use and recommend Andrew Ward for any family law needs.

Absolutely superb. Most of us civilians r nervous when needing or contacting a lawyer. He was diligent, helpful, honest, & most of all compassionate. It wasn't about, fees, money, time... he, quite honestly, just wanted to help & do the right thing. Sadly he's rare. Thank you Andrew Ward... Thank You. [This was for a difficult & perplexing bench warrant]

Mr. Andrew Ward went above and beyond to help me through a very stressful time dealing with my ex husband. He was quick to respond to me and even got me in for a few very last minute paperwork changes despite his very busy schedule. He cares about his clients it shows in the way he treats you. He is compassionate while making sure you are fully informed of your rights as well the other parties rights. His is very knowledgeable and up to date with the laws concerning Child Support modification and visitation. I have and will continue recommending Mr. Ward to anyone seeking legal council. THANK YOU!

My divorce had been on hold for about 4 years and the court wanted it off their books and was going to dismiss it. After petitioning the court on my own for postponements, my medical condition got worse and I needed to find an attorney right away. I went to talk to Mr. Ward and he was very compassionate and agreed to take my case, even though he wasn’t the one that started it. I could now go into surgery not having to worry about it anymore since it was in his hands. He stayed on top of things, returned calls when needed and answered questions with language that was understandable. In other words, he cares about his clients, in my humble opinion. That is why I have told other people about him when I’ve heard them talking about needing an attorney. Thank you Mr. Ward for taking my case to completion.

I needed an attorney very short notice. I literally called him at the end of his day as he was leaving his office, and he took the time to take my call . Mr. Ward proved to be beyond competent, and knowledgeable. He was kind and compassionate about my case and laid things out for me so as I could really understand what was happening . He is phenomenal , and I highly recommend him . If I ever need legal representation again , I will use him !! And so should you !

I recently had the opportunity to hire Atty. Andrew Ward to represent me on a case in the AV that I was unable to attend as my family had relocated to the state of Ct. I easily found Atty. Ward though an online search and after explaining my situation he agreed to take my case. Atty. Ward had to go to court several times on my behalf. I found him extremely knowledgeable and helpful with how to proceed in my situation. He always made time to take my calls and to answer my many questions. He also took the time to continually keep me informed as my case proceeded. Atty. Ward made a very flexible and easy payment plan with me so that my family was never over burdened by the expense. I found Atty. Ward to be a caring and compassionate man that went out of his way to insure the best outcome for me and my family. He also has a friendly and proficient staff to back him up. I would highly recommend the use of his services to anyone in need of an excellent Attorney. Joel W.
