Get to Know Lynwood

From Our Clients

Lynwood Evans at Ward and Smith represented me when I was seriously injured in an automobile accident. I do not know how I could have been represented in a more efficient, effective, intense, or professional manner. As results from the accident, I got flown to the hospital by a helicopter and spent eighteen days in the hospital. It was a blessing to have an attorney the quality of Lynwood that took care of everything while I continued to convalesce at home.
Mike Head
Charles and Lynwood did an exceptional job for my family. I felt completely comfortable with their skills and opinions during a difficult time. Both were instrumental in helping us through it
Chris Gauquie
Ward and Smith’s personal Injury litigation team are highly competent and professional. After 22 years of involvement in various litigation circumstances, I would rank this firm at the top of the list in comparison to the many other firms I have engaged. I would highly recommend Lynwood Evans and his team at Ward and Smith.
Ron Neder
Outstanding firm. I have in the past worked cases with their attorneys and they do a great job. We frequently refer cases to them.
