Law Office of Dennis W Ward

Dennis Ward is the dedicated, tenacious fighter that I hope you, my fellow Unilocaler, will never need. Alas, as law enforcement officers and their equipment are capable of occasionally making mistakes, and lay witnesses will frequently make mistakes (and lie when it benefits them), I’ll pass along my experiences in «The Trench» (OK, it was a beautiful modern courthouse) with Dennis for your consideration.
When six participants in an out-​of-​state child custody proceeding (who had never stepped foot in Florida) were victimized by fraudulent allegations made in a Florida court by a deranged father (who had lost all custodial rights in the out-​of-​state proceeding), your fellow Unilocaler promptly dialed away in search of local counsel (central FL). As the first rule of obtaining proper representation is to tell EVERYTHING to your attorney, it was only proper to relate the criminal history of the accuser, his penchant for filing (unsuccessful) Bar Complaints against every attorney who had ever opposed him in his custody proceedings, and his indirect threats of physical violence. After running out of fingers counting the practitioners who wanted no part of the matter (including many former prosecutors), I realized that Dennis Ward was «only» 300 miles away (yes, I am a dreamer).
Why Dennis Ward from 300 miles away? The bells had just gone off, rekindling the memories of certain municipal officials (circa late 1990s) using unprintable adjectives to describe their (perceived) adversary, FOP Lodge President Dennis Ward. It took me some time, back then, to realize that the critics simply could not stand a leader who worked his a#s off to fight for his members, and prevent the screwing that might otherwise be coming their way. Having seen how the other side felt, I knew we needed him on our side.
After ringing the office and advising Dennis that I had a troubling matter where there was, we believe, a true threat of violence, I was forced to wait at least two full seconds for his considered reply– «when do you need me?»
Needless to say, to the victors go the spoils, and to their counsel, go the five star reviews. Dennis sliced and diced Mr. Evil on the stand, and walked out of the court with six cases dismissed with prejudice (a decision so rare that the bailiffs had to add language on every pre-​printed Order of Dismissal).
We were so impressed with the shutout pitched, that we brought Dennis back for another four hour road trip to (successfully) put down our miscreant in another matter.
If you are ever unlucky enough to find yourself in need of a straight talking, hard charging, experienced defense or labor law attorney, Dennis should fit the bill. (I will respond to any Unilocal member with any questions regarding the above review).
Stay Safe on the roads, and at work…
