Built differently than a traditional firm.
Most Ohio family law firms charge a $3,000–$10,000 retainer, then meter it out at $300+/hour. We do that only when your case actually needs it. For the rest, we charge a flat fee — quoted up front, in writing.

What Ohio families ask us
An uncontested dissolution in Ohio typically runs $1,500–$3,500 in flat attorney fees plus $300–$400 in court filing fees. A contested divorce runs $4,000–$20,000+ depending on assets, custody disputes, and how long it takes. We quote your case in writing on the first call so you know before you commit.
Dissolution is no-fault and requires both spouses to agree on everything — assets, debts, custody, support — before filing. It's faster (30–90 days) and cheaper. Divorce is filed when spouses disagree and need a court to decide. It's slower (6–18 months) and more expensive. Most of our cases are dissolutions because we help couples agree before we file.
Yes — at least one spouse must have been an Ohio resident for at least 6 months before filing, and a resident of the filing county for at least 90 days. There are limited exceptions for military and certain custody situations.
Dissolutions are typically 30–90 days from filing to final decree. Uncontested divorces, 90–180 days. Contested divorces, 6–18 months or longer depending on complexity. We give you a realistic timeline on the first call.
For most dissolutions, one short hearing — often by video. For contested matters, more. We handle most of our cases remotely; you only show up when Ohio law requires it.
Yes. We serve all 88 Ohio counties. Most of our clients work with us entirely by video and phone — same attorneys, same flat-fee pricing, same process — from wherever they live in Ohio.
