Tenisha J. Wardford is an Associate Attorney practicing in personal injury, automobile liability claims, third-party automobile claims, professional liability, healthcare liability, and general negligence matters. Her strong litigation foundation was shaped by her experience in Michigan’s probate court system and in contested matters involving guardianships, conservatorships, and estates. Tenisha particularly enjoyed serving as a Guardian ad Litem. Her multidisciplinary background allows her to approach complex legal and factual issues with clarity, strategy, and a client-centered focus. She expanded her legal training through externships with a federal judge, a dispute resolution center, and private law firms—experiences that strengthened her advocacy, communication, and analytical skills. She is also a certified mediator in the State of Michigan, bringing an added layer of conflict-resolution insight to her practice. Outside of her practice, Tenisha is passionate about mentorship, making memories with loved ones, and home improvement projects.
