You may have decided divorce is the only way to get back on track to a healthy tomorrow and a positive future for yourself and your family.  Or you simply do not have a choice.  It's going to happen.  What does that mean for you NOW?

A settlement? Probably.   A trial?  Possibly.

I understand your concerns and worries.  You're anxious about the assets you have worked so hard to earn.  You may have uncertainties about the effect this divorce will have on the children you care so much about.  Bottom line, you want decisions to be equitable and you want to play an influential role in those decisions.

Ohio Law provides for both Dissolution and Divorce.

Simply put, Dissolution can be the most effective and efficient way to proceed.  That's if the parties agree on all issues in advance of filing with the Court.  I can provide counsel as you negotiate these issues toward an agreement.

You may have issues that simply can't be resolved.  Then, a divorce must be filed.  You will need me to litigate these issues before the Court.  My 20+ years of experience inside and outside the courtroom will give you the well-rounded, vigorous representation you need to achieve your goals.  Sometimes the compromise that is offered just doesn't work for anyone.  Many clients need their day in Court and would rather take a risk to protect their values and goals that to take a settlement that just doesn't make them happy.  I understand.

Filing for Divorce does not always mean that a final agreement can't be reached but rather that you are prepared to seek the decision of the Court if necessary.

This process can seem confusing, even overwhelming.  I can help ease your anxiety about the process.

Knowledge is empowering.  I will strive to keep you educated about the complexities of your case and to continually evaluate and advise you of your options and opportunities every step of the way.

Let me help to get you back on track to a healthy tomorrow.
