Motor-assisted only when pedaling but top speeds reach as much as 28 miles per hour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie Ward was recommended to me by a personal friend who knows him and respects him.  He was friendly, personable and incredibly compassionate with me as I had just lost my son due to an horrific hit and run motorcycle accident.  He went the extra mile in hooking me up with the right people in Texas as I didn’t really know anyone in my area who to contact, trust or help me with the painstaking task of finding honest representation. He also addressed my immediate concerns and returned my messages and phone calls quickly.  I would highly recommend this man of integrity and his Law Firm.  It’s difficult to find individuals that work as hard as Charlie and that truly care about people… I am convinced that this man is amazing at what he does and has the passion to get the job done… whatever needs to be taken care of.  I trust and appreciate him so much.  Thank you Charlie!

They could not take my case but Charlie Ward called me so quick after I sent in an email explaining my situation to tell me they don’t take cases such as mine but gave me the number to someone who I could call and I truly appreciate that. Charlie did not have to go out of his way to do that but did it anyway to help. Thank you!
