Justin L. Ward

At The Ward Firm, our founding attorney, Justin L. Ward, is committed to providing aggressive, high-quality legal representation to individuals and families facing serious legal challenges. The firm represents clients in elder abuse, personal injury, employment law, and criminal defense matters throughout California.

We believe that every client deserves the personal attention of an experienced attorney. Justin personally meets with each client during the initial consultation to understand their situation, answer questions, and discuss the legal options available. Together, you will develop a strategy focused on protecting your rights and pursuing the best possible outcome for your case.

Justin is particularly committed to helping families hold negligent caregivers, nursing homes, and institutions accountable when vulnerable seniors are harmed through abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation.

Justin has experience on both sides of criminal and injury-related cases. As a former prosecutor, he understands how the government builds cases and the strategies used in criminal proceedings. He also handled personal injury cases while working for an insurance defense firm, giving him valuable insight into how insurance companies evaluate and defend claims. Today, he uses this experience to build strong cases for his clients and advocate aggressively on their behalf.
