Testimonial

I recently needed an attorney to help me handle my divorce in the State of NH. Rick Ward was recommended to me by a very close friend so I gave him a call. From the moment he answered the phone to the conclusion of the case, I knew I had found the correct person to represent me. Rick is the consummate professional. In our first meeting I felt completely at ease describing my situation and the reasons I needed a divorce. His knowledge of the NH divorce laws was apparent and his advice right on the mark. He lead me through the legal process, court requirements and negotiations with professionalism, genuine concern and legal expertise. His calming manner was wonderfully refreshing during a very tumultuous period of my life. I always felt that I was his first priority. I could not have made it through the process without Rick. He kept his promise to be there when I needed him, his advice was invaluable, his concern genuine and the end result was my achieving every goal first set out in our original meeting. Thank you Rick for giving me my life back. — M. J.
