About Richard Furnish
Richard Furnish, Esq. is an Of Counsel attorney with Gavvl Law who brings extensive experience in family law to the families he represents, handling divorce, custody, and support matters across Ohio. He has been licensed in Ohio since 2011 and is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
Richard earned his law degree from Saint Louis University School of Law and his bachelor's degree in general business from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. That business background shows up in how he approaches a case: he looks at the financial picture — income, property, debt, and support — as a whole, and plans the legal strategy around where a client needs to end up, not just the next filing.
Clients describe his style as strategic and steady. Richard explains what the law does with a given set of facts, lays out the realistic options and what each one costs, and then gives clear, supportive guidance at every step so the process feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
As part of Gavvl Law, Richard serves families in the Columbus metro and Franklin County, and across Ohio's 88 counties. To discuss a divorce, custody, or support matter, schedule a consultation with the firm.
