Personal Injury Attorney

The Ward Law Group, recognized as one of the Best Places to Work for the past two years, is a nationally respected personal injury law firm serving the Hispanic community. Our mission is to help injured people turn one of the hardest moments of their lives into an opportunity for hope and a better future. We are expanding into Texas and are seeking a seasoned personal injury attorney to help us build the foundation of our operations with excellence, precision, and purpose.

We are a values-driven organization built on faith, service, accountability, leadership, and loyalty. We combine disciplined execution with compassion for our clients, and we expect the same from every team member.

This role is ideal for a Texas-licensed personal injury attorney who thrives on structure, process, and systems thinking. You will be responsible not only for managing personal injury cases but also for building the firm's standard operating procedures (SOPs), workflows, and form libraries that will define the foundation of our Texas office.

The right candidate will be both a skilled litigator and a systems architect—someone who understands how to translate experience into repeatable, high-performing processes that deliver consistent excellence across teams.
