I just wanted to take a moment to say that I am beyond pleased with the way in which Ward and Barnes handled my case. My attorney, Geoffrey Pittman, and his team demonstrated professionalism and expertise that, not only optimally concluded my case, but also made the process very comfortable for me. I will be forever grateful.

I called to request a consultation. The assistant/secretary asked some questions and said someone would get back to me. I never got a call back, but eventually got an email stating that they would not be taking my case. The rest of the statements did not correlate with the information that I provided to the assistant/secretary.
Although the email recommend that I find an attorney asap due to statues of limitations.
I looked up the Florida statues and discovered that there is NO statute of regarding my topics in question.
I never did get to speak with any paralegal or lawyer with Ward & Barnes .

My grandma used this lawyer Mr Pittman and the staff are great they are very respectful and never rude I highly recommend them to anyone

My experience with Ward and Barnes is nothing short of excellent. They kept me informed and handled the details of my case promptly and efficiently. If you are looking for an attorney in the Pensacola area look no further these guys are the go to firm!

Excellent work

These guys are straight forward, honest, and good. I would recommend anyone in northwest Florida and Pensacola to use Ward and Barnes in any automobile accident.

Good lawyers.

Geoffrey Pittman and his staff are undeniably amazing. They are not only compassionate and caring but outstanding legally. I highly recommend him! He will take care of you and get you the settlement you want. You won’t regret choosing him and his team!

I had a great experience with these gentlemen. Definitely good attorneys to have on your side.

My wife was in a serious automobile accident in 2013 where she was perminately disabled. Austin Ward and his expert staff worked diligently to get her the settlement she needed to both cover mounting medical bills and cover the costs of the extensive ADA changes we needed for our home so she could have some independent ance. Be patient with him and his staff, they know what that are doing

I had a brief but exceptional experience with Geoffrey H. L. Pittman. His legal advice was spot on, and very helpful. I am super happy that I sought his counsel. I would absolutely use him again.

Ward & Barnes , P.A is an excellent firm. They are responsive, ethical, and very effective. I was recently in a car accident. I worked directly with Geoffrey Pittman and through their decisive legal advice. I was able to settle for an increased amount than initially expected. Keep up the good work guys!

The staff at Ward & Barnes, P.A. are kind and cheerful which is a direct reflection upon their leadership. When I have a legal matter I always call Ward & Barnes because I know that they will get me taking care of even if they cannot help me directly because they always know someone who can. They are genuinely nice people who wish to help you in any way they can, which is a welcome rarity in our society these days.

All communication, email, text, and by phone was done in a very timely and professional manner. I felt like my attorney would do his very best for me, which he did. I highly recommend this firm

Working with Ward & Barnes team was absolutely fabulous. They are a very efficient and professional team. I could not of asked for anything more. I highly recommend anyone dealing with a personal injury to consult with these guys!

Geoffrey Pittman did an excellent job for someone I know with a recent criminal charge on her record. Geoffrey worked quickly and efficiently to get her charges dropped completely! I highly recommend this firm and Mr. Pittman for any criminal defense needs in Pensacola. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Professional and caring staff. They treat you like family in order to achieve what you deserve.

I highly recommend the law offices of Ward and Barnes and more specifically, the services of Geoffrey Pittmann. While your case may seem relatively minor in comparison to other cases, he realizes your cases importance to you. As a client you always have almost instant access to him. He cares about his work and your case regardless of size or potential outcome so he will fight for you.

Geoffrey Pittman did a fantastic job representing our family recently and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Ticket was dismissed w/o a hearing.

Very thorough and patient til we reached an acceptable agreement. Always available.

I had the Law Firm of Ward & Barnes represent me for my car accident claim and now they will forever be the law firm for me. They were professional and kept me apprise of my case throughout the process. Attorney Geoffrey Pittman worked on my case and he went above and beyond the call of duty. No matter when I talked to him he always acted like I was his most important client. I would definitely recommend Ward & Barnes to anyone in need of an attorney. Keep up the great work!

This entire business runs on dedication and professionalism. From the moment you walk in you are treated with the upmost respect and you can tell that the office runs smoothly because of the value towards "teamwork" that they hold. My settlement took a couple of years to get but I also had to stop and start treatments during that time. Scott Barnes, Austin Ward, and their entire team go above and beyond for their clients. I'm very partial to Robin, she is such a hoot! If you go into litigation you will definitely admire the work she provides as a paralegal. Very very glad to have come across this law office.

In July of 2012 I was in a car accident that left me with a shoulder injury. I contacted at firm that will not be named but for 4 years they did nothing. I was then referred to Ward and Barnes! BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED! Mr. Ward took my case, pretty much began working on it quickly, and literally within months I had the first part of my settlement. Mr. Pittman took on the second part of my case, which was a doosie, and worked on it diligently. After a fairly decent fight back and forth with the insurance company, he managed to get a great settlement! One that took me by total surprise! I can only say how much I appreciate all of this firms hard work from beginning to end on my case. A patient paralegal there as well worked hard on very step as well named Kay! Everyone at this firm works hard to get the results and I must say, better results than I anticipated! Thank you EVERYONE at Ward & Barnes for everything you've done for me!

They are very professional, courteous, greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome at all times. I highly recommend this law firm. Their work is outstanding

I was in a very minor car accident that was handled improperly on my behalf which threatened my CDL, my ability to continue working, and my ability to provide for my family. Geoffrey Pittman took my case and was super informative, helpful, and confident through the whole ordeal. He helped us reach the verdict we were hoping for. Surely couldnt have done it with out Geoffrey and Ward & Barnes. Thank you!

Geoffrey Pitman took on my very complicated case with no hesitation. He handled everything very professionally and communicated well throughout the process. Would highly recommend for any of your lawyer needs! Geo is your man!!

I was put in touch with Scott Barnes by a professor of mine. Mr. Barnes went above and beyond for me and offered me multiple solutions through every step and helped me feel not so alone in my situation. I would recommend him to anyone because I believe he'll go the extra mile for you too.

Very knowledgeable attorneys.

Ward and Barnes handled a family member's car crash settlement in a timely fashion. Faster than expected, really. They were able to secure policy limits and they made the stressful situation a bit more manageable.

I was looking around town for a law firm that would be fair and reasonable and that would also assist me in a time of need and I am glad that I reached out to Ward and Barnes. I worked with an attorney named Geoffrey Pittman during that time period, and he did everything to calm down this overthinking mind of mine, and laid down a solid plan of action. With his knowledge and some of his charisma, we were able to find a quick and solid resolution to my issue. They are the only law firm that I would recommend to anyone who is in need of legal assistance.

Geoffrey Pittman is a great lawyer! He helped me through a couple of cases here in escambia and really changed my life. These guys are honest, reliable, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this firm in any situation no matter what!

They fought hard on my behalf to reach the best settlement in my case.

I hired Geoffrey Pittman after a car accident I had and was more than impressed. Professionalism, straight forward ness, unmatched client communication, and total understanding of law led us the the verdict we were seeking. Thank you Ward and Barnes!

I was a client of Ward and Barnes after an injury at a local business. I had never sought out a lawsuit or ever thought I’d be involved in one, however after I sustained an injury that resulted in prolonged pain and interference with my personal daily life that I felt was due to gross negligence, I sought an attorney. After consulting with Ward and Barnes law firm and presenting the facts of my case and the nature and extent of my injury, we decided to file suit. My particular case was handled by an experienced associate attorney(Geoffrey Pittman) in consultation with both Mr Ward and Barnes, respectively. I cannot express how thorough, professional, compassionate and informed my experience with this law firm is/was. They never failed to keep me informed of the status, expectations and general flow of the case as it made its way to mediation. They always informed me of my options at each step and never tried to sway me to full litigation vs settlement. In the end we made a decision to settle during mediation and I was given fully itemized documentation of where all money/fees etc went. There are shady law firms that promise you the moon in hopes of getting a bigger payout for themselves. Ward and Barnes promised me nothing except their total commitment to getting what I deserved and allowed me to feel empowered with my case. I am completely satisfied that I got what I deserved in the end and while I hope to not be involved in another lawsuit again, I would have no second thoughts of retaining them in the future and would advise anyone to seek them out if they need expert legal help in the Northwest Florida area!
As an aside, weeks after my case was over and settled and had already been paid my settlement, my attorney called me to let me know there was an extra $45 that came through bc of an insurance overpayment. The extra $45 was insignificant, especially considering the amount I received in settlement, however to me it speaks to the honesty and integrity of the firm in their commitment to ensuring you get every penny you are owed!
