As landlords, my husband and I were involved in a very nasty court case with a tenant who alleged all sorts of claims against us, such as discrimination and lead paint violations. We had gone through several years of litigation, through several lawyers and spent tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers' fees but were at the point of paying $25,000 to settle the case. Although we had not done these things, we just wanted to get this disastrous situation out of our lives, so we seriously considered paying the money. However, we contacted Atty. G. Emil Ward in a desperate act to avoid a truly unjust result. When he came on board, he came up to speed quickly and efficiently. He corrected some procedural issues which had left us without certain crucial testimony of a witness three states away, which he miraculously obtained. He savagely attacked the other side again and again with great legal work. He simply would not quit before righting the wrongs done to my husband and me by the other side, which included the state of Massachusetts as one of the parties. The case finally ended with a nomimal cost to us. We were extremely pleased with the services of Ward & Associates and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially landlords in legal trouble. They simply will not quit as long as there is a good legal or ethical ground to stand on. Marijane McCarthy

Attorney Emil Ward is affable, a good listener and easy to talk to. He has always treated me in a collegial but highly professional manner. Emil is easy to work with. He makes a point of asking me if he has answered all of my questions every time we speak. He also has made a point of offering me the option of doing some of the preliminary non-legal document preparation myself. This has reduced the number of hours he has worked on my behalf and has saved me money. Emil has helped me on several occasions with landlord-tenant issues. On very short notice he has given me expert advice in situations with rapidly approaching deadlines. He has helped me craft landlord-tenant agreement documents that put me in a very strong legal position regarding rapid resolution of landlord-tenant conflicts. This will minimize my need for legal advice in the future. In summary Emil has been very pleasant to work with, given me expert advice, worked on short notice, kept charges low and minimized my need for future legal services. I highly recommend Attorney Emil Ward.

Emil was very professional and had several tricks up his sleeve to expedite the eviction process. In the end he was successful getting this stubborn, bad seed out of my building. I'd recommend him to anyone.

When other attorneys come up to your lawyer and say,"Emil, you are the smartest man I know." Then you know you are in the best hands. My lawyer stuck by me for years thru many difficulties. I cannot say that about other people who represented me.

Many lawyers have failed; none could help us until we contacted Atty. G. Emil Ward in desperate act to avoid for home closure. He came on board, speeds quickly and efficiently. Our tenants demanded a lot and Emil did his work professionally, handled the case with a lot of knowledge and settled the case first time in court. He helped us to remove very difficult tenants in a short period of time. He simply would not quit. He is honest, caring and help me from beginning until the very end. Atty. Emil Ward is affordable, good listener and pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Attorney Emil Ward

I purchased my first home a couple of months ago and Emil was part of the team that helped make everything go smoothly. He answered my countless questions and came to closing with me. He was also very communicative throughout the entire process which eased my nerves. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend working with him!

Attorney Ward, represented, my LLC on the purchase, renovation and sale on my resent million dollar project. He has represented me on other million dollar projects, over a 40 year period. He represented me in the founding of my Inspection company over 20 years ago. Over this amount of time, I can attest to his honesty and integrity. I have referred my family, friends and clients, to Attorney Ward over the years and I never gotten a negative feed back from any of them.

After enduring an issue with a tenant for several years, it appeared that there was no way to quickly resolve the matter, and that a long court battle was ahead. Thousands of dollars had been lost because of unpaid rent. The rental unit was greatly neglected by the tenant, and it seemed that legally there was more protection for the tenant than the landlord. Most disturbing, the tenant was family...and the issue was presenting the threat of holding up the sale of the house as the closing date quickly approached. There seemed to be nothing left but a fog and heavy cloud that plagued the entire situation. Then came a referral to Emil Ward. Emil carefully considered the matter, indicated his willingness to take the case, and he was hired. Emil moved forward gracefully, illustrating the most efficient handling of the situation. Not only did he act efficiently, immediately issuing a 30 day vacate notice to the tenant, but he also provided instantaneous legal advisement to the landlord, contributing to the release of a lot of tension and stress, which was just the air needed for a breath of fresh air. Throughout the process, Emil was always professional, and had the presence of a friend who was very easy to talk to during a difficult time. His timing was perfect in every step of the process; and working with such skill, he was able to assist in settling the matter within a month or so without going to court! Because of negotiations by Emil, the tenant agreed to take the settlement offer, and moved out without any problems before the closing date, allowing for a smooth sale of the house. Hiring Emil was just the air needed to dispel the fog and move the clouds away. It is truly believed, that it was no mistake that Emil was the right attorney for the job. His level of professionalism, experience and skill in housing matters, brought just the air needed to refresh a toxic landlord situation, and in fact also helped to preserve a family relation.

We worked with Emil Ward to evict "squatters" from a family home after a sudden death in the family. Mr. Ward carefully led us through every step of the process and quickly responded to our e mailed questions and concerns throughout. He came to court and worked with us through the mediation process-- helping us come to a fair and enforceable agreement. Emil made a distressing situation bearable, and it did result in the eviction that was so important for us. We recommend Emil without reservation--and yes he did write the book (which gave us confidence.). It was a pleasure to meet with him and work with him. Thank you Emil
