Matrona Jessica Ward

As a Personal Family Lawyer, I love knowing I am bringing meaning to my clients’ lives. I strive to provide excellent, compassionate service to ordinary families planning for the future.

As a mom of three small boys, I particularly enjoy serving other parents of minor children, helping them to craft a plan that will foresee and care for their children’s unique needs in the aftermath of a parent’s death. My experiences were formed by the unexpected death of my Grammy and Grandpa when I was nine years old, which resulted in prolonged litigation and estate administration for my family. Now, I want to help others plan proactively to keep their families out of court and out of conflict.

I believe that facing our own mortality can change the way we live our lives, and I live by the motto “memento mori,” which means “remember that you must die.” I love to help people of faith live out their beliefs through values-based planning.

In my off time, I love to sing and perform. My travels, through musical touring, study, and vacation, have broadened my world and shaped who I am today. In all, I’ve been to 42 U.S. states, as well as extended stays in the UK and France. I love to explore Southern California’s diverse beauty by hiking local trails.
