frequently asked questions

What should I do immediately after being arrested or charged with a crime in Ohio?

Stay calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Do not speak to police or give any statements without an attorney present. Contact our office as soon as possible so we can begin protecting your rights and building your defense right away.
Yes, we regularly defend clients in all of these areas, including DUI/OVI, domestic violence allegations, drug possession/sales, serious felonies, theft, juvenile delinquency, misdemeanors, traffic violations, and sex offense accusations. Our goal is always the strongest possible outcome: dismissal, reduction of charges, or minimized consequences.
We handle parenting time/custody determinations, child support calculations and modifications, parentage actions (paternity), and adoption cases. We focus on solutions that serve the best interests of the children while protecting each parent’s rights.
It depends on whether parents can agree (faster mediation / agreed entry) or if court hearings are needed (longer). Simple agreed cases can be resolved in a few months; contested matters often take 6-18 months. We work efficiently to move your case forward as quickly as circumstances allow.
Dissolution is a faster, less expensive process used when both spouses fully agree on all terms (property division, debts, spousal support, children). Divorce is filed when spouses cannot agree, and a judge must decide disputed issues. We guide clients through both options depending on their situation.
Ohio follows equitable distribution of assets and debts; debts are divided fairly (not necessarily 50/50). Spousal support (alimony) depends on length of marriage, income difference, standard of living, and other statutory factors. We help clients achieve a fair and realistic division tailored to their specific circumstances.
