With a strong desire to help individuals, I have limited my areas of practice to Family Law, Bankruptcy, Probate and Estate Planning. These are the areas of the law that most individuals will need an attorney for.
I started practicing in 1989 with a large portion of my practice being dedicated to Family Law. Which includes divorce, dissolutions, paternity actions, child support, custody and post decree filings in the Domestic Court.
Soon, it became apparent that after a divorce most clients needed estate planning to insure that their assets are passed to the intended beneficiary and out of reach of their ex-spouse. Amazingly, even their parents needed Estate Planning. One does not what to leave monies to a grandchild and then have their former son or daughter-in-law controlling these funds. This resulting in my adding Estate Planning and Probate to my practice.
Unfortunately, these current economic times have resulted in a record number of individuals having to file bankruptcy. Once prosperous clients have found themselves with no other option. Because of this and to better meet the needs of my clients I added bankruptcy to my practice in 2005. Since then I have represented many clients before the Bankruptcy Court. I can analyze your situation and inform you if you quality to file a bankruptcy.
I located my office in Independence, Ohio, near the intersection of Rockside Road and I-480 intersect. This area was chosen due to the convenience and easy access from most areas of the County. With the widening of Rockside Road and additional access roads, traffic has not been an issue for many years. Further, clients find the accessibility as well as the ample and free parking a major convenience.
Case Experiences:
With over twenty-two years of experience I can inform you as to what a fair settlement to your case is. I do not have to guess or rely on the opinion of another attorney. In most cases I will be able to tell you immediately as to what your entitled to under the law, other times bringing them down to earth because of high expectations.
A majority of case are settled by the parties before trial, because in most cases its best for the parties to do so. Since a fair outcome can be reached without taking the risks of leaving the decision up to someone else, such as a Judge or a Jury. However, if a case cannot be settles, you can be assured that I can and I am willing litigate your case. I do not hold the belief that it is best to settle all cases.
