About
To learn more about Attorney Ward, visit her attorney page at her website: https://www.wardcochtd.com/attorneys/cathleen-f-ward-esq-/I founded this firm in 1997. At that time, I had a handful of clients and made quite a leap of faith by branching out on my own. However, I had a great mentor, Paul B. Rodbell, Esq., and truly helpful experience through earlier employment at two highly regarded Maryland law firms. When this firm first opened, I operated from a small office, sublet from a generous attorney and friend, J. Robb Cecil, Esq. Slowly and carefully, I built my practice and the firm. Today, we have a staff of 10 and moved in 2011 to our newly re-developed office building in the Glen Burnie Town Center.I decided to become a lawyer while in high school and have been licensed to practice since 1990. I knew early on that the law was the right profession for me and I graduated from the University of Maryland – College Park with a degree in Law Enforcement. However, I wasn’t sure at the start of law school (University of Maryland at Baltimore, this time) what practice areas would be most interesting to me and, at the same time, best fit my skill set. During law school, I was truly blessed by working in the office of the General Counsel the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission under the supervision of the talented Honorable Patricia Mitchell. Here, I was able to work on the commission’s police force issues as well as on zoning and land use. The zoning experience at the commission paved the way to my next great experience working for a law firm in Prince George’s County where I expanded my zoning practice along with general business law and real estate transactions. I then became an associate at a law firm in Howard County, Maryland where I further expanded my zoning practice into Howard and Anne Arundel Counties and in more complex real estate transactions and financing, representing both lenders and borrowers for residential and commercial transactions. Currently, I truly enjoy all manner of real estate and business cases often because I like solving the mathematical complexities presented by cases involving business matters and property issues. I joking call this area ‘math law’. I concentrate my practice in areas such as real estate, bankruptcy, financing, business transactions, zoning and contracts. Client success in these areas requires meticulous attention to detail and the innate ability to follow the numbers to the desired result. It is precisely these traits that I put to the service of our clients. In my free time, I enjoy landscaping & gardening, running, scuba diving, skiing and, much to my husband’s dismay, re-designing our home (usually started by removing a wall, while he is at the store). My husband and I have three lovely children.

Cathy Ward has been my attorney for nearly twenty years. In that time, the firm's attorneys have handled a multitude of legal issues on my behalf. From family law matters to business formations to real estate transactions, the firm has always represented me with competence, diligence and integrity. The attorneys have always been responsive to my inquiries and I have found them to be knowledgeable and professional. I have always found their fees to be reasonable and exactly what was agreed to as set forth in the retainer agreement. I have never been surprised by my bill...it has always been comprehensive, detailed and representative of the work that was performed on my cases. The staff has always been polite and courteous and professional and the offices are beautifully kept. Ward & Co. is a top-rate and professional firm!
As soon as you hire this attorney, she will disappear and tell her secretary that she is not available for her client's calls. She took ages to solve a simple zoning issue that I had.
