Meet attorney Jany Martinez-Ward

Jany Martinez-Ward is the heart and soul behind The Ward Law Group, a Florida-based law firm dedicated to helping car accident victims—especially those in the Hispanic community. As one of the firm’s founders and managing partners, Jany has spent her career fighting for justice for people injured due to someone else’s negligence.

Jany’s mission is simple: to stand up for those who often don’t have a voice, particularly Hispanics navigating the legal system after an accident. She’s also passionate about spreading awareness about changes to laws that impact accident victims. When her clients need help, she’s there to provide guidance and representation.

Recognized Excellence

Over the years, Jany has earned numerous awards and accolades for her work. From being featured as one of the top attorneys in the nation to contributing to high-profile legal publications, her reputation as a top-notch lawyer is well-deserved. She’s not just a name on a plaque—Jany has recovered more than $500 million for her clients since founding her practice in 2012.

Each week, Jany connects directly with her community through Spanish-language radio, social media, and TV, answering legal questions and addressing concerns. This approachability and dedication have made her a household name in South Florida that is also transcending to New York.

A Standout Success Story

During the uncertainty of the COVID-19 crisis, Jany and her team secured a $2 million settlement for a client named Marcela, whose case gained local attention. Marcela’s words say it all: “The Ward Law Group showed me that trust is possible. They made everything simple and were always there to answer my questions.”

Thanks to her specialization in car accident cases, Jany is often sought after by news outlets and legal organizations. She even contributed to a chapter in the Florida Bar’s 10th edition of Florida Civil Practice Before Trial, focused on auto accident cases.

Leading the Way

At The Ward Law Group, Jany heads the Pre-Litigation department, guiding clients through everything from filing paperwork to negotiating with insurance companies. Her goal? To make sure her clients get the compensation they deserve for financial losses, emotional distress, and other hardships caused by their accidents.

Jany oversees a team of 15 managers and more than 140 employees. Under her leadership, the firm has grown rapidly, achieving year-over-year growth of 40-50% and securing 19 settlements of $1 million or more. One of their most significant accomplishments includes a confidential settlement exceeding $100 million.

With big plans for the future, Jany is expanding The Ward Law Group to new areas, including the Northeast and Texas. The firm recently opened an office in New York to better serve the Hispanic community there.

A Journey That Fuels Her Passion

Jany’s story began when she immigrated to the U.S. with her mother and infant brother. Like many immigrant families, they faced incredible challenges. Jany vividly remembers the fear and confusion of being separated from her mother and placed in foster care while their legal issues were resolved.

“It was a painful experience,” Jany recalls. “I felt helpless because I didn’t understand the language, or the decisions being made about my family.”

This experience opened Jany’s eyes to the struggles many immigrants face in navigating the legal system. It sparked her passion for helping others, especially those in vulnerable situations.

Jany pursued her dream by earning her law degree from Nova Southeastern University and her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida. Since becoming a licensed attorney in 2013, she has been a fierce advocate for the Hispanic community, helping The Ward Law Group grow from a small firm in 2012 to one that has served over 28,000 families.

What Sets Jany Apart

Jany credits her success to several key factors. Her husband and co-founder, Greg Ward, brought valuable experience from working with insurance companies, which now helps their firm advocate effectively for accident victims. Beyond that, Jany’s unwavering faith, dedication to exceptional service, and deep connection to the Hispanic community have all played a big role.

Jany doesn’t just serve her community in the courtroom—she’s deeply committed to giving back. She and Greg sponsor countless events to help underprivileged children and youth groups. Jany is also an active board member of the “I Have a Dream Foundation” and leads an annual Back-to-School donation drive to support children in need.

Her generosity extends beyond U.S. borders. Jany helps support an orphanage and school in Nicaragua and has worked on initiatives to provide meals for children in Venezuela. Her goal is to make a meaningful difference wherever she can.

Looking Ahead

Jany Martinez-Ward’s story is one of resilience, compassion, and determination. From her own challenges as an immigrant to her success as one of South Florida’s most respected attorneys, Jany’s journey inspires her ongoing commitment to justice.

Whether she’s leading her team, advocating for her clients, or giving back to her community, Jany’s purpose remains clear: to serve and uplift those in need.
