Initially, the firm’s practice was limited to representing individuals who were severely injured through the negligence of others. With the increased filing of patent infringement actions in the Eastern District of Texas, the firm has expanded its practice to include this challenging and complex area of practice. The firm has active cases pending in federal court in the Marshall, Tyler and Texarkana Divisions of the Eastern District of Texas, and it maintains an active trial docket in state court as well.

While many firms and clients outside of East Texas frequently seek guidance concerning the local rules of state and federal courts from local practitioners, those who retain the firm’s services learn that it has more to offer than just local guidance. With over 31 years of combined trial experience, including over sixty civil cases tried to verdict in state and federal courts, the Ward & Smith Law Firm is willing and able to get involved in all phases of complex litigation.
