Paul Ward is committed to providing the best possible counsel for you and your loved ones. 30 years of experience in the Rhode Island judicial system, practicing in all areas of general law. He is extremely honest and tells you upfront what you can and cannot do in different situations. Paul was easily accessible and always returned my phone calls- usually within a few hours if we didn't immediately connect.

I would highly recommend Paul Ward Jr to anyone who needs legal advice. Paul was able to answer all the questions I had and resolved my legal matter faster than I had expected. I would definitely recommend his law practice. Law-oriented and client-centered. I have known and worked with Paul Ward since 1999 and have always found him to be a skilled legal advocate.
Services
Paul Ward graduated from Vermont Law School in 1981, and has been practicing law in the state of Rhode Island ever since.

Probate matters, wills, trusts, estate planning, powers-of-attorney for both financial and healthcare, among other services.
Business transactions, asset purchase agreements, incorporations, limited liability company organization etc. In addition to the above practice areas, a prospective client may inquire about practice areas I do not handle. If this is the case, I am happy to assist you with a referral.

I maintain a network of trusted professionals in the law field as well as financial planning, banking and funeral planning with a focus on a team approach in client services rather than a 'one firm does it all' approach.

I had to find a lawyer in Rhode Island while living in California. I found his on google, took a deep breath and reached out. From the first interaction to the last, Paul was helpful, communicated clearly and thoroughly, and charged what I consider a reasonable amount for the work completed. I may hire him again in the future and will recommend him to the people I know who live near him.

I work as a Paralegal in New Hampshire and was looking for an Attorney in Rhode Island to assist with a small probate administration. Attorney Ward was outstanding in promptly preparing the necessary documents, meeting with the family and insuring the paperwork was promptly filed. I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal assistance.

Mr. Ward handled our real estate and legal needs efficiently and effectively. So much so that now we are utilizing his expertise a second time in less than a year!

My wife Kathy and I came to Attorney Paul Ward with a somewhat complicated estate case, and the first thing he said to us was, “no worries; we’ll work through this together.” It immediately set our minds at ease, and throughout the 15-month process, Paul was always there for us with the right answer and a comforting smile.
We highly recommend Paul Ward, Jr., Esq. as an excellent, extremely-competent attorney, and a person of the highest integrity.

Paul Ward was very helpful with a "Back Taxes Owed" issue on a piece of property owned by my late brother. He spoke to me t length, put me in contact with the correct town officials and ultimately resolved the issue. It was an ongoing dilemma for over 5 years. With Paul's professional advice & action, the situation was resolved. I would highly recommend his services!! Vincent D'Abrosca

I found Paul Ward through a basic google search when I found myself in need of an estate lawyer. Paul was prompt and friendly when he returned my initial phone call. Paul was very straight forward with regards to his working style and fee structure and agreed to meet with me and my brother for an initial consultation. 10 minutes into the consultation I was convinced that Paul was the right person for us to work with. His attention to detail blew me away, and as the months went on I became even more satisfied with our working relationship. Although we are still in the final phases of closing my
