Why I work at WARDS LAWYERS ^PC

When I got the opportunity to join the team at WARDS LAWYERS ^PC I knew it was a no-brainer. One of the things in my life that has always gripped me has been an adventure. With that in mind, I decided to leave the big city and practice in a community where I knew I could make a meaningful impact. The emphasis that WARDS LAWYERS ^PC places on quality service and building up the community makes this Firm such a rewarding place to work.  When I joined WARDS LAWYERS ^PC, I knew that I would have a fantastic opportunity to serve a great local community, as well as expand my practice and develop into a better lawyer under great mentorship.

Memorable Moment

What struck me about working at WARDS LAWYERS ^PC was the attention to detail and emphasis on providing quality service for each individual client. As a litigation lawyer I’d heard every joke in the book about lawyers who reap the misfortunes of their clients. Working at WARDS LAWYERS ^PC is different. I remember sitting in a client meeting with Jason working through a complex problem where he made sure the client understood every piece of pertinent information and presented solutions which fit the client’s needs. When I saw the positive approach to ensuring that our client’s needs and concerns were taken care of, I knew I was in the right place.
