About Ward Law Office LLC

Ward Law Office LLC is a boutique intellectual property law firm located in Tiffin, Ohio, with an additional office in Southfield, Michigan. The practice focuses on patent and trademark law, including patent application preparation and prosecution, trademark applications, trademark law, and trademark protection. According to the firm, its clients range from independent inventors and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, and its patent experience spans mechanical, chemical, and electrical disciplines. Ward Law Office also maintains relationships with intellectual property law firms in many foreign countries, allowing it to assist clients with IP services in the United States and worldwide.

The firm describes itself as committed to personal and professional service, flexibility for unique client needs, and educating clients on securing valuable patent and trademark protection. The website also notes bar admissions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office as a non-resident, and the State Bar of Michigan.

Client feedback highlights several strengths. Reviewers have praised attorney Jake Ward, Chloe Goodlive, and the wider Ward team as knowledgeable, professional, and small-business friendly. Some describe the firm as skilled at simplifying the patent process and associated terminology, and one long-term client reported email questions being answered within a day. The firm’s stated aim of affordable rates for independent inventors and businesses aligns with repeated review comments about accessibility and support for smaller clients.

At the same time, the available reviews are mixed. With a 3.40 rating from five reviews, two of the five reviews are highly positive, one is briefly positive, and two are strongly negative. The negative reviews focus on contact problems: unanswered phone calls, voicemails that were not returned, and a web-based consultation form that did not produce a return call. Another reviewer raised a complaint about spam emails. These comments suggest that while many clients value the firm’s expertise and personal service, prospective clients may want to confirm current contact procedures and response expectations before engaging. Overall, Ward Law Office presents itself as a specialized, education-oriented IP practice for inventors and businesses seeking patent and trademark help, with a service experience that reviewers describe as either highly supportive or, in some cases, difficult to reach.
