It was time, at long last, to put together a living trust. Soliciting a trusted friend, I had the good fortune to be given Francine's name.

Of particular appreciation was her gentle guidance, ensuring a detailed, tailored finished product. Bottom line; very professional, personally pleasant engagements, and absolutely pain free.

As a person with intellectual property, Francine Ward has made sure I had reg marks in additional categories so that I am protected. She had to deal with a recalcitrant infringer who (mistakenly) thought she could throw around the name of a big firm as proof she could use my reg mark. Francine quickly and brilliantly shredded the infringers defense. Francine also educated me as to how to initially address infringers so we avoid costly court procedures. "It's always better to start on a note of information ie: I'm sure you didn't know USPTO awarded How To Work A Room for my exclusive use and that you wouldn't want to infringe on my reg mark." BRILLIANT legal advice from Francine Ward." read more

As an attorney, I couldn't have found a more loving, spiritual, and intelligent attorney. I recommend Francine very highly. read more

I was leery about a contract a publisher asked me to sign, but I wanted to sell my piece. I yearned for the by-line and all the future potential that came with it. Getting my writing published has been a long, brutal process, and I didn't want to blow my big chance. But the contract required me to forfeit all my rights, in perpetuity, and I knew in my gut I would regret it if I signed this contract. Then I attended one of Francine Ward's seminars and got her input. "Publishers want your work because they can make money on it. They're business people," she reminded me, "and sometimes their objectives collide with yours." I heard the authenticity, wisdom, and heartfelt earnestness in her tone. At that moment, I needed to hear those words, especially from a person whose authority on the subject I could respect and trust. Carefully applying the thoughtful advice in Ms. Ward's presentation, I crafted a new agreement, one in which the rights to my story reverted back to me after a reasonable period of time. The publisher signed it. I got my price. I got my terms. And my relationship with the publisher has never been better. Thank you, Francine. read more

Francine was an absolute professional when working with her to have our retirement planning process trademarked. Over a period of months we communicated via email, telephone conference, and webinars to layout our plan to achieve our goal. Francine was able to guide us through the labyrinth of legal potholes and landmines which allowed us to not only get our process trademarked, but to obtain a registered trademark! There is no doubt that without her help we would not have been able to achieve the highest standard. Thanks again Francine! read more
