I originally hired an atty. for my family court case that in the middle of my case just disappeared. No call no letter nothing. I was totally freaking out, and then by the recommendation of a friend was given Atty. Dana Smith’s name. Turns out I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was always treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and he always listened to all my concerns. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Dana fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Dana was quick to respond to my initial request for consultation and in each and every follow-up communication. What was a difficult period in my life was made easier by his expert counsel and ability to mitigate all issues that arose. Highly recommended.

I hired Ward Law to help me with a workers comp appeal. Dana was assigned to my case and started immediately gathering all the facts of my case. He won my appeal against an insurance giant. I am so appreciative of Dana and the Ward Law Group! I would recommend their services to anyone in need.

I got hurt at work. Nobody else wanted to touch it. Dana did and won the case. Kept me informed throughout. And still fighting for me. A great help with a not so great experience. Highly recommend.

Dana was with me every step of the way. He was knowledgeable and took the weight off my shoulders at a very difficult time in my life. In only a few weeks, he had everything handled as far as filing all paperwork and getting ready for my court date. When the day came and we were finally done, I was shocked at how well he handled court, spoke on my half and really made the most relevant points when it mattered. Family law can be an emotional roller coaster and I would not have been able to do it by myself. Not only is he a great lawyer, but you can tell he cares and is a good person. The last thing you want is a cold person who looks to drag everything out and take advantage of your situation. Needless to say, the outcome was positive. I have and will continue to recommend him in the future.

Dana assisted me with filling out paperwork for my divorce. There was so much paperwork to go through and he made sure I filled it out correctly and recommended a few changes. Dana is very knowledgeable with family law and made It as smooth and simple as it could be.

I called because I wasn't sure if I needed a lawyer. I had a tenant issue and I didn't know how to handle it legally. Dana was so kind and gave me so much useful information and even sent me an email with the proper documents to use. He even allowed me to give my tenant his number in case they had any questions. In the past I have dealt with lawyers who won't even answer questions over the phone unless you go to the office and have a consult. If I ever need an attorney in the future, I'm definitely hiring him !! I highly recommend making Dana your first call !!

We went to Dana to ask what we could do legally to be able to move out of the place we lived and he advised us on what to do and how to do it. His advice was excellent and the time he spent with us was much appreciated.
