Prior to attending law school, Ms. Ward worked as a medical malpractice paralegal for four years. Thereafter, she worked as a claims consultant and risk management consultant for two medical malpractice insurance carriers, one of which is the largest insurer of physicians in the State of Maryland. The positions provided Ms. Ward with extensive experience in the medical malpractice field.
Following graduation from law school, Ms. Ward worked at a large medical malpractice defense firm located in Annapolis, Maryland. She was at the firm for 10 years, becoming a partner in 2005. At that firm, Ms. Ward defended cases on behalf of individual physicians, group practices and hospitals.
