Bankruptcy
Any financial problem can be solved. A fresh start is a right entitled to everyone. Despite recent changes in the bankruptcy code, you may still discharge debt, and keep your house and car.
Estate Planning
Everyone should have a will and a general durable power of attorney. You do not need to spend a lot of money to create an estate plan. A little planning can save the family thousands in Probate expenses and lost time in administering a decedent's estate.
Divorce
Perhaps the most devastating issues my clients face, is the end of a marriage. They come to my office with feelings of failure, anger and hopelessness. The only thing that could possibly make divorce worse is unnecessary venomous litigation.
Personal Injury
Sometimes life does not go according to plan. You may suffer an injury due to the negligence of another individual. Whether it is a careless driver, or a negligent professional that causes you injury, we are prepared to represent you and obtain compensation for your injuries.
Domestic Violence
No family member needs to suffer verbal or physical abuse. We protect all members of the family from violence and emotional abuse. Victims of domestic violence can petition for a restraining order or protective order in the Ohio courts.
Real Estate
A home is usually the biggest investment a family makes. When you are selling or purchasing your home it is a good idea to have professional advice and protection. I have the experience to spot potential problems before they turn into losses, and litigation.
