Very good experience with this firm and specifically David Powell. He and his staff updated all of our trust related documents in a very professional and efficient manner. He asked all of the right questions, paid close attention to details in the documents and explained everything thoroughly. Price was right and we will use him again. Good lawyer.

Mr. Jeremy Cranford helped me successfully navigate a dispute with a tenant of mine regarding a rent to own lease contract. He was readily available and easily accessible for any questions or concerns I had regardless of time of day. His expertise and devotion towards my case provided me with piece of mind during this stressful situation. I truly felt like he was on my team and I was able to handle the situation with my tenant in a professional and legal manner. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Jeremy Cranford and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for real estate advice.

I have been a client of Bill's for three years and I won't go anywhere else. he recently helped me with estate planning and his attention to detail was just phenomenal. Good legal work costs money, but the peace of mind is priceless. Bill is an ethical and principled lawyer, but also extremely practical. He has never steered me wrong.

I have been a client of Ward and Ketcersid for over 8 years. I had a very special case that took an expert lawyer like Jeremy Cranford to bring me the results needed. He was a bull dog and fought for me hitting every opposition head on. After eight years victory was mine and he secured me the best outcome. He went above and beyond. Thank you Jeremy. I will definitely use his services again.

Thanks to Ricky’s work my husband was cleared of criminal charges. A determining factor for our other legal proceeding that we are undergoing with immigration. Ricky handled our case promptly considering the restricted time available. We got the best results ever, which allowed my husband to be free. We are forever greatful. I have and will continue to refer anyone in need of legal representation in our area to Ricky. Thank you again from our family.
