To say that Lisa is amazing would be an understatement. From the very beginning, she made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. She listened carefully, understood that my children were my top priority, and acted accordingly. Lisa always had a clear plan—and a well-thought-out backup—ensuring every decision was backed by facts and sound reasoning. She gave me the confidence to make informed and wise decisions, something I had been lacking for years. Her ability to restore that confidence was invaluable. Lisa was consistently prepared, keeping me informed every step of the way. Over the three years we worked together, we developed a strong partnership. We functioned like a well-oiled team, reminding each other of crucial details and moving forward in sync. She was also incredibly patient with my many questions, lack of knowledge about legal terms, and even my growing understanding of technology. Lisa never made me feel overwhelmed. She broke down complex tasks, like gathering information and evidence, into manageable pieces, always offering encouragement along the way. When things didn’t go as expected, Lisa’s ability to pivot and adapt was remarkable. She tackled challenges head-on and always found a new direction. In court, she carried herself with the utmost dignity, and I felt assured that I had the best person fighting for me. She organized evidence meticulously, presenting it in a clear, powerful way. Despite the long and high-conflict nature of my case, Lisa remained professional, calm, and composed. I never had to worry or second-guess—her dedication and expertise were unwavering, and I trusted her completely.

Lisa was very informative and knowledgeable in her field and fought for what was right and gave great advice on how to proceed with dealing with a difficult custody battle that resulted in winning me full custody and now my child is thriving in life and his schooling. It was painless and efficient process. Lisa was recommended to us by a very experienced colleague in the area of expertise and she made sure everything went smoothly and listened to our concerns. If you want things done right hire Lisa Ward as your attorney.

I had an excellent experience with Lisa. Her professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. She provided clear guidance and kept me informed at every stage. I highly recommend Lisa's services for anyone in need of a dedicated and effective divorce attorney.

Lisa Ward is simply the best and I believed God brought us together in the manner she handled my case. She is such a professional and took the time needed to explain the process and always promptly respond to my questions, concerns, emails, and very reassuring. She is very knowledgeable about what she does and also an amazing person. The outcome of my case would not be what it is without Lisa. She fought for me! She is highly recommended.

To begin, Lisa Ward is a true inspiration, her commitment and unwavering resolve to help me through a long and arduous divorce is sincerely unmatched. I met Lisa nearly four years ago when I retained her for my divorce attorney. From the beginning she knew this wasn't going to be the typical divorce case, but she was more than happy to take on the challenge. Neither of us anticipated such a long and complex divorce, but never did Lisa's determination or perseverance wane. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Lisa has a true passion for the work she does. She's extremely knowledgeable, always prepared, professional, ethical and hard working. She always had my best interest in mind while preparing this case and was truly an advocate for me. Lisa kept me informed and updated throughout the process. She listened to my questions and concerns, providing relevant proposals if needed. She is very personable and caring. When I felt stressed or overwhelmed Lisa was there to encourage and keep me going. Lisa was dedicated to putting together a strong case and with her great legal skills and efficiency was able to conclude a nearly four-year divorce. She fought for me every step of the way. Words can't begin to express how much I appreciate and am truly grateful to Lisa for how amazing she is. She is a master of her profession and thanks to her I can continue to move forward.

Lisa has been a such a wonderful advocate for me. She protected me by carefully thinking out all possible avenues and outcomes. She helped put words to my crazy situation and made me feel validated in my choices. She helped me find the voice I never had. For years I felt unheard, beaten down and defeated. When my kids grew into adults, my husband somehow recruited them, and I was outnumbered. In my personal walk, I’m just now learning this was abuse: emotional, financial and spiritual. Lisa was able to get me the temporary orders to be the custodial parent to my minor daughter and the family support I would not have been able to get on my own. These things and many more have given me the confidence to move forward to make a clean start for myself and my little girl. I highly recommend Lisa Ward to help you move forward toward hope and a future!

Lisa picked up where two other lawyers had left off. My case, as with most others I presume, was an emotional nightmare. As a male who was probably not in the majority as far as wanting to be the active present parent, it was looking like I would be that AND have to pay child support plus have to sell my childrens’ primary home that was in close proximity to their schools to pay out equity. Lisa stepped in and helped guide me through this nightmare. I ended up not only keeping my home but also didn’t have to pay any child support; and I’m fortunate in that my boys are with me 6 days a week. There were lots of land mines but Lisa guided me and provided frank assessments of situations and options of how best to navigate them. With this finalized and behind me, I can start rebuilding my life in earnest. Thank you Lisa!

I would highly recommend Lisa Ward if you are in need of a divorce attorney who truly cares about her clients. She is compassionate to your needs, listens to your concerns, and is dedicated to working hard to build a case that represents a fair, well researched, and thought out result. Lisa is wonderful at communication and always responds quickly when questions or concerns arise. She is detailed oriented with a wonderful paralegal (also named Lisa) who efficiently sends requested materials and follows up with any concerns. They are a great team. I truly feel Lisa Ward is honestly focused on her clients and takes extra time to spend on her cases to get desired results. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a high asset and contested divorce. She is definitely a top lawyer in Vancouver that shows care, compassion, and true dedication to her clients at McKinley Irvin.

I have just settled a litigation for a 44yr old marriage with Lisa representing me. The divorce was difficult on many levels. Opposing counsel was uncooperative and vengeful. Lisa kept my spirit up in many confrontations with the other spouse. Her brilliant performance, wielding her litigation skills netted me a very positive outcome. She is kind, thoroughly skilled, passionate, and tenacious and with great integrity! I would highly recommend her for litigation. Sandi Dykes

Thank you Lisa for all your help and direction with my divorce. You made process easier and I appreciated your communication and clear direction.

Lisa helped me with the motion to enforce my divorce decree. My ex-husband left my name on the mortgage after the divorce and was refusing to re-finance. Lisa was very supportive, compassionate but also extremely professional, fast in finding out all the information needed, clearly communicating the next steps, and handling ALL the communication with my ex. We didn't end up going to court and my name was successfully taken off the mortgage -- best outcome possible. I highly recommend working with Lisa, she will handle things fast and smoothly for you. I felt comfortable all the way through the process as well. Thank you so much, Lisa!

Divorce is never fun, but Lisa made it the least painful that it could be. I'm glad I hired her. She's super smart, got right to the issues, was mindful of the clock, fair and realistic, and she was attentive and responsive to my questions, emails and phone calls. She educated me on the law and I feel she strongly advocated for me. My outcome was much better than I was bracing myself for. There are no guarantees on that, but if there's a good outcome, Lisa will find it! Not only WOULD I refer her to others, I already referred my own daughter. Thank you, Lisa!
