V. Wayne Ward

For more than three decades, I have worked hard to guide families and individuals through the legal system as they seek to resolve their family law issues. Whether this involves a divorce, child custody or support dispute, or planning for the future, I am committed to providing the best possible counsel to each client.

You are not just a name or a number. From the moment you walk into my office, we are working toward the same goal. I learn your story and fight on your behalf. As a husband and father of three sons, I understand how difficult these legal matters are and the toll they can take on your life—emotionally and physically. I do my best to make it as easy as possible for you as I work to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Although I have been an established member of the Fort Worth legal community since 1977, I am always searching for new ideas and ways to help my clients. One thing that will never change, however, is my commitment to my clients and my dedication to working in your best interest.
