About Cheryl A.

Cheryl A. Ward took a measured path into law. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in International Business and Trade Administration from Florida Atlantic University in 2014. Three years later she completed her Juris Doctor at Stetson University College of Law. Those academic credentials provided the groundwork for a practice anchored in Florida.

After law school, Ward moved into private practice and established the Law Office of Cheryl A. Ward. She serves as the firm’s founder and lawyer. Running a small practice has meant handling the practical pieces of lawyering as well as the strategy: client intake, case management, courtroom preparation and counsel. Those everyday responsibilities shape how she approaches each matter.

Ward maintains ties to professional organizations in the state. She has been a member of the Florida Defense Lawyers Association since 2019 and joined the Brevard County Women’s Association in 2022. Membership in local and statewide groups informs her view of practice trends and keeps her connected to peers who handle litigation, insurance defense and other civil matters in Florida.

Colleagues and clients describe Ward as deliberate and straightforward. She tends to break complex issues into clear steps and puts emphasis on planning. In the office she balances client-facing work with the administrative demands of an independent practice. Courtroom appearances, settlement discussions and written advocacy are all part of the rhythm of her work. Her day-to-day practice reflects her attention to preparation and responsive communication.

Ward is admitted to practice in Florida and manages her practice from the Law Office of Cheryl A. Ward. She continues to participate in local professional associations and to run the firm she founded. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in legal matters arising under Florida law.
