Serving the North Country With Experience and Commitment
Ward Law Group is a New Hampshire based law firm with a strong presence in the North Country and a long standing commitment to serving individuals, families, and businesses across the state. With offices throughout New Hampshire, including a location in Littleton, the firm combines regional reach with local understanding. Its work focuses on advocacy, accessibility, and practical legal solutions for people navigating challenging situations.
Founded in 2019, Ward Law Group has grown steadily while maintaining a client-centered approach. The firm is known for representing everyday people rather than large institutions, with an emphasis on clear communication, responsiveness, and results-driven representation. Its team brings together attorneys and staff with diverse backgrounds who share a common goal of helping clients move forward with confidence.
Practice Areas and Client Focus
Ward Law Group offers legal services across several core practice areas, including personal injury, workers’ compensation, Social Security disability, criminal defense, civil litigation, and select family and estate planning matters. The firm is particularly well known for its work helping injured workers, accident victims, and individuals pursuing disability benefits.
Many of these matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, allowing clients to pursue claims without upfront legal fees. This structure reflects the firm’s philosophy that access to legal representation should not depend on a person’s financial situation. From initial consultation through resolution, the firm emphasizes education and transparency so clients understand both the process and their options.
Leadership Rooted in Littleton
Ward Law Group is led by founder and managing partner John L. Ward, a Littleton native whose North Country roots continue to shape the firm’s values and direction. Growing up in Littleton gave Ward a firsthand understanding of small town communities and the importance of trust, reputation, and personal connection. Those principles remain central to how the firm operates today.
Ward earned his undergraduate degree from the University of New Hampshire and his law degree from UNH School of Law, where he completed the Daniel Webster Honors Program. After gaining experience in private practice, he founded Ward Law Group in 2019 with the intention of building a firm that balanced high-level legal work with approachability and community engagement.
Professional Recognition and Accolades
John Ward’s work has been recognized at both the state and national levels. He has been named to New Hampshire’s 40 Under Forty by the New Hampshire Union Leader, an honor that reflects professional achievement, leadership, and community involvement. He has also been repeatedly recognized by national legal organizations for his work in personal injury and workers’ compensation law, including multiple selections to Top 40 Under 40 lists for trial attorneys.
In addition, Ward has been recognized by peer reviewed legal publications for excellence in plaintiff side litigation and workers’ compensation representation. These accolades reflect not only individual achievement, but also the broader standards and culture he has established within Ward Law Group.
Commitment to Community and the North Country
Beyond legal work, Ward Law Group places importance on community involvement throughout New Hampshire. The firm supports local organizations, youth programs, and community initiatives, and its presence in Littleton reflects a continued investment in the North Country. Having an office in Littleton allows the firm to better serve residents of northern New Hampshire with convenient access to legal services without the need to travel long distances.
The firm’s team understands the unique challenges facing individuals and businesses in rural and small town communities. This perspective informs how cases are handled, how clients are advised, and how the firm measures success.
