Enforcing the Rules That Protect Us All


At the Law Offices of Paul Ford, we believe that the law and its safety rules exist to protect us all—and when individuals, companies, and institutions fail to follow simple safety rules, the consequences are often devastating. We enforce those rules.


Our mission is rooted in a deep personal commitment: to hold individuals, companies, and institutions accountable when they ignore the rules that keep our communities safe. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to medical negligence, a personal injury, or car wreck, we’re here to make sure the wrongdoer is held accountable, and by doing that we protect us all.

Our Focus:

Preventable Tragedies & Legal Accountability

Every year, thousands of families lose loved ones to tragedies that should never happen. Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Suicide ranks tenth—yet it is often the result of systemic failure, not personal weakness.

When healthcare systems, correctional facilities, or mental health providers ignore signs of risk or violate safety standards, we act. We investigate. And we bring cases to court to enforce the rules that protect us all.

Trust Built Upon Relationships, Not Catchphrases

Our firm doesn’t rely on slogans—we rely on relationships that lead to results. Attorney Paul Ford has spent almost 40 years in courtrooms across Arkansas, defending the accused, representing the injured, and standing up to powerful institutions.


He’s argued high-profile cases including:


  • Death penalty litigation
  • The West Memphis Three
  • Wrongful death actions tied to suicide in care facilities


What drives Paul isn’t just justice—it’s a deeply personal understanding of loss. After the suicide of his own brother, Paul turned his grief into action. Today, he channels that experience into building strong, trial-ready cases that don’t just seek compensation—they seek change.
