Thomas Steven Ward

My focus is in commercial litigation and appeals, with an emphasis in real estate. My clients include, but are not limited to, real estate developers, title insurance companies, condominium associations, commercial landlords, and entrepreneurs.

My appellate experience includes serving as the primary author of dozens of appellate briefs, which have been filed in the Supreme Court and in the First, Third and Fourth District Courts of Appeal, and arguing before the First and Third District Courts of Appeal. Accordingly, I have many published opinions to my credit. Prior to entering private practice, I interned for the former Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court: the Honorable R. Fred Lewis.

My litigation experience in state and Federal courts include, but is not limited to, serving as lead counsel for contract and construction disputes, title insurance claims, eminent domain proceedings, commercial and residential evictions and foreclosures, violations of non-compete agreements, collections and disputes involving condominium associations. I have successfully first-chaired multiple trials and evidentiary hearings.
