Last Updated: July 01, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.samuelcward.com (the "Website"), operated by Ward Law ("Ward Law," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Attorney Advertising

The Website is a communication and may be considered attorney advertising under the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct. It is provided for general informational purposes. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.

2. No Legal Advice

The content on the Website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Laws change, and the application of law depends on the specific facts of each situation. Nothing on the Website should be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney regarding your particular circumstances. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any content on the Website without first seeking professional legal counsel.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Using the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Ward Law. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have (a) confirmed there is no conflict of interest, (b) agreed to represent you, and (c) entered into a written engagement agreement signed by both parties.

Any information you submit through the Website — including through the contact form or by email — is not confidential and is not protected by the attorney-client privilege. Do not send us confidential or sensitive information about your legal matter until an attorney-client relationship has been established in writing.

4. No Guarantee of Results; Prior Results

Any case results, settlements, verdicts, testimonials, or descriptions of prior matters presented on the Website are provided for illustrative purposes only. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts and merits. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

5. Jurisdiction of Practice

Ward Law's attorneys are licensed to practice law in the State of Louisiana. Content on the Website is not intended as a solicitation for services in any jurisdiction where doing so would violate applicable laws or rules of professional conduct. The Website is not intended to create, and does not constitute, an offer to represent you in any jurisdiction where we are not authorized to practice.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on the Website — including text, graphics, logos, images, video, and design — is the property of Ward Law or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print content for your personal, non-commercial use only.
