Our firm has extensive experience representing clients in marital and other family-related matters, including dissolution of marriage; mediated property agreements; and adoptions. Most family-law matters are resolved through settlement negotiations, and we strongly emphasize the use of mediation and the collaborative approach to resolving conflict. We are proud to have played an integral role in establishing Northwest Ohio’s first association of attorneys and accountants practicing collaborative law. When necessary, we are prepared to go to court, having handled domestic relations matters before numerous courts in Northwest Ohio, ranging from uncontested dissolution of marriage proceedings to multi-million dollar contested divorce litigation. The firm also has working relationships with the expert witnesses required to support contested issues of property valuation, custody, pension valuation, and earning capability.
