Stores can follow simple rules like keeping aisles clear, ensuring proper lighting and promptly cleaning up spills which are known to prevent injuries. Unfortunately, some stores do not, and people can be seriously injured.


At the Law Offices of Paul Ford, we believe that respect goes both ways between a business owner and a customer. Respecting the rules keeps people safe, and we enforce them.

Why “Trip & Fall” Matters

Most people call them “slip and falls.” But many of the most serious injuries come from tripping over uneven surfaces, broken sidewalks, or obstructed walkways. These cases can be difficult to prove—but we’re experienced in showing juries exactly how negligence caused your injury.

What Makes Us Different

Some defense lawyers are comfortable pleading out. Paul Ford isn’t. He treats every client as if their case could go to trial—because many do.


His reputation in Arkansas courtrooms means prosecutors take your case seriously the moment Paul’s name appears on the docket. That changes outcomes. That creates leverage. And that’s what real defense looks like.

Your Rights Deserve a Fighter

Whether you’re facing your first charge or a serious felony, we know how to protect your rights and pressure the prosecution. We’ll walk you through what to expect, explain your options clearly, and push back on scare tactics.
