Know Your Rights ! Call Us First ! Over 23 years experience helping clients with complex Family and Business Law issues. I can help!
Over 23 years of combined experience as a legal counselor and trial attorney. During law school I served as a law clerk to one of Ohio's foremost experts in the family law area and later had the opportunity to practice alongside my mentor.
Addy v. Addy; Howell v. Howell. Areas of practice include Family and matrimonial law, civil litigation, business and corporate law, real estate, business collections, federal criminal and personal injury.

The practice of law affords me the greatest opportunity to fully utilize all of my motivational skills to the benefit of my clients. I derive a great sense of achievement when a case is resolved in favor of my client and their family.
There is nothing complicated nor special about this, but rather, it is the simple everyday life and the lessons learned therefrom that I put to good use as an attorney.
While I was in law school I had the opportunity to serve as a law clerk to one of Ohio's foremost experts in the family law area. I later practiced along side my mentor and found a great sense of accomplishment practicing in family law.
The combined years of service of my three partners and I are in excess of 75 years. Our firm provides the types of legal services traditionally offered in a general law firm setting. We offer the benefits of a personable and independent small size law firm.
A client that is part of the team effort and who acts promptly and efficiently in following through with their responsibilities, and who communicates effectively in their assistance of counsel.
I am an avid professional hockey fan and consider myself a student of the game. I enjoy playing basketball, softball, skiing, pinball, horseshoes, and most of all lounging under an unbrella at the beach. I am also a die hard life long Boston Red Sox fan.
I am a member of the Board of Trustees of CATCO. I provide legal assistance to the deaf and hard of hearing communities of central Ohio. In the past I have served as Past President of the Capital University Law School Alumni Association Governing Board, served on the board of The Center for New Directions and have volunteered for and donated to various other community organizations.

Either a free telephone or an in-office conference will be available as determined by the intake attorney.
An initial retainer based on the circumstances of each case is charged and then applied to hourly fees incurred as services are rendered. Additional periodic retainers are billed as necessary as the case proceeds.

Flat fee arrangements are available on various cases and are dependent on the nature and legal issues of each case. We also utilize contingency fee contracts.
Hourly rates range between $ 225 and $ 275 per hour and are based on whether the service rendered is in-office, out-of-office or in-court. Lower rates are charged for partner and staff attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants and law clerks.
