Ward and Smith, P.A.

Ward and Smith is a North Carolina law firm with a Raleigh office on Corporate Center Drive, on the west side of the city. The practice traces its roots back to 1895, and it now covers most of the ground a business or a family is likely to need.

Reliability, responsiveness and teamwork are the standards the firm sets for itself, with client satisfaction alongside them. It calls itself an established legal network across the two Carolinas, and the size of its footprint backs that up.
