Experienced Defense in State and Federal Courts

I began practicing law in 1987, and since that time, I have represented thousands of people in Greenville and throughout North Carolina utilizing an aggressive approach to criminal defense. When you turn to me, Mark A. Ward, you can expect your case to be handled personally by someone who will work aggressively to defend your rights.

I can defend against both misdemeanor and felony charges in state and federal courts.
