WHY I WORK
AT WARDS LAWYERS
Working at WARDS LAWYERSPC allows me to be a part of a team that helps lead the legal community in the City of Kawartha Lakes. WARDS LAWYERSPC is on the cutting edge for the latest in technology, which allows me to provide better services in less time. The team at WARDS LAWYERSPC is trend-setting in the way smaller law firms should practice.
Our exceptional team of lawyers all encourage growth, learning and the development of skill. I am fortunate to be able to work at a place where continual learning is not only encouraged, but part of the day-to-day norm.
Something else close to my heart is being very involved in my community. WARDS LAWYERSPC is, in my view, a leader in promoting, supporting and sponsoring many different community events, teams and other programs.
WARDS LAWYERSPC has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2004. In my view, it has become a pillar in our community and is one of the most sought after law firms in our area. It is definitely the place to be. I am very proud to have played a role in making WARDS LAWYERSPC what it is today.

Memorable Moment
Without a doubt, Haunt Your Home. This unique, crazy and community-driven event was truly one-of-a-kind. Haunt Your Home was a brilliant idea and so much fun to be a part of. HYH allowed me to give back to the community in a way that I couldn’t otherwise do and the HYH team is, bar none, the best group of people to work with.
A close second, has to be paint ball. Nothing brings a team together like sweat and tears. Maria is an event planner extraordinaire and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us in the years to come.
