Bold labels are required.

We aggressively defend and assert your rights.

Some of our clients are victims of domestic violence and abuse. Others may find themselves facing accusations of abuse. Sometimes clients are unfairly accused. No matter which side of the table you’re on, we will defend and advocate for you.

Under current Ohio law, simply telling the police that you are afraid may well result in a charge of domestic abuse or a related offense. The person charged may not even be aware of committing a crime, and the police often don’t explain the exact nature of the charges before making an arrest. In some cases, both spouses are arrested, and the facts sorted out later.

Domestic abuse allegations may have a profound impact on your future.

In addition to our focus in all matters of family law, we also provide criminal defense assistance. Often, domestic violence charges involve both areas of law. We know that domestic violence is a serious criminal and social issue, and charges will affect your family and your children.

We believe in being strong advocates of helping victims of domestic violence and abuse.
We also believe that people charged with such offenses deserve an aggressive defense to protect their rights. Without aggressive defense, due process under the law is meaningless.

Criminal charges will affect your family law case

If you are facing criminal charges, they may have an adverse affect on your child custody, divorce or adoption matter. These crimes include:

Domestic abuse
Violation of a protection order
False arrest, false allegation
Assault, violent crime defense

Child abuse
Noncustodial parent kidnapping
Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse

Do you need to resolve a child custody matter?

We provide quality legal representation to defend or assert your rights in child custody, parenting time, and child support matters – all of which could be at stake in light of domestic violence allegations.
