“Why Should I Choose Your Law Firm For My Family Law Case?”

Our experience, for one. Decades of practicing divorce and other family law matters means that we know the law. Further, we know how the law works in the real world. It’s not just words in law books to us. We know how cases may be impacted by the tendencies of the judge, or by the approach of the lawyer on the other side. Is that lawyer a negotiator, or do they have a reputation for being unwilling to reach agreements? Do they have experience at trial, or are they a novice when it comes to taking a case in front of a judge? There are so many factors that may impact what constitutes “the best” way to move forward in any given family law case, and our experience means we understand those factors.

Perhaps most importantly, we understand how critical it is to get to know you. You are paying for our time, so you should get it. We believe in personal communication and taking the opportunity to learn about you and what you are striving for in your family law case. We have no interest in assuming the outcome you want. We want to hear from you exactly how you envision your future and what constitutes success to you in your divorce or other domestic issue.

We build our strategy around your needs, not our assumptions.

What Does An Ohio Family Law Attorney Do?

An Ohio family law attorney serves as your representative in any legal matters involving family matters. A family law attorney gets to know you, understands your priorities and forms a strategy that aligns with the specific details of your case, Ohio family law and your goals.

Research and preparation are key steps in this process. Your lawyer will identify applicable statutes and legal precedents to support your position. If evidence is needed, they will investigate, gather relevant documents and organize your case so that it can be presented in the light most favorable to your objectives.

Negotiation is a major part of a family law attorney’s work. When it’s in your best interest, they will negotiate with the opposing party to reach mutually agreeable solutions. If your case goes to trial, your attorney will be by your side in court, present evidence, question witnesses and make arguments to protect your rights and interests. Throughout each phase, your attorney will help you understand the challenges ahead and your options so that you are empowered to make the appropriate choices.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Family Law Attorney In Ohio?

The cost of a family law attorney in Ohio can vary based on the complexity and nature of the case. Most cases begin with a retainer, which is a deposit that enables the attorney to start working on your case. The attorney’s time is often billed at an hourly rate, deducted from this retainer as work progresses.

Some straightforward cases may be handled on a flat-fee basis, meaning one set fee covers a defined scope of work. However, if unexpected complexities arise, additional charges may apply to address these new developments. In cases where additional work is needed, the attorney will keep you informed and discuss the financial impact before proceeding.

At Harry Lewis Co., LPA, we emphasize transparent billing. From the start, we will go over potential costs with you to give you a clear view of what to expect. Our approach is to work within each client’s means, helping you make informed financial decisions so you can move forward with confidence.
