Bernard D Ward

Bernard D Ward maintains a legal practice at 15420 South Douglas Parkway in Lockport, Illinois, a community in Will County southwest of Chicago. The office handles matters across three distinct practice areas: employment law, workers compensation, and criminal defense, giving clients in the Lockport area access to a broad range of legal services under one roof. For individuals navigating a workers compensation claim alongside an employment dispute, having an attorney who handles both areas can be particularly valuable. Workers who are injured and then face retaliation or termination from their employer may need representation in both the workers compensation system and in employment court, and an attorney experienced in both fields is well positioned to handle those overlapping issues.

Bernard D Ward assists clients with the full spectrum of issues that can arise from workplace injuries and employment conflicts. For workers compensation clients, this means helping gather medical evidence, meeting filing deadlines, and representing clients at hearings before the Illinois Workers Compensation Commission. On the employment side, the firm handles disputes involving wage and hour violations, discrimination, and wrongful termination. Criminal defense clients receive representation in proceedings ranging from initial charges through trial if necessary.

Prospective clients can reach the office at (815) 834-2001 to schedule a consultation. During that meeting, the attorney will review the details of your situation, whether it involves a workplace injury, an employment dispute, or a criminal charge, and provide an honest assessment of your options.
