Any atty recs?

Sadly, the day has come.  If anyone can recommend a good atty that would be much appreciated.  Does anyone know if I will lose my house?  Its been mine for 7 years ad Im not really looking forward to splitting everything with such a loser.....I will post details later, for now I just need to talk to an atty to see how this is all going to work.  TIA!

Re: Any atty recs?

  • i got a who not to use - Dave Whatson, he sucks ass!
  • I don't know of any attorneys, but I want to wish you luck! 
  • No recs, but big ((HUGS)). I'm so sorry.
  • I'm really sorry to hear this. I hope you're doing ok! I used a lawyer in Grandview named Chris Minillo. I have his info at my office and can get it to you tomorrow. My dissolution was pretty cut and dried, but I had no problems with him. I don't have any kids, so I can't say how much experience he has with that. I think you can also get referrals from the Columbus or Ohio Bar Associations. It's impossible to say whether or not you can keep your house without knowing more. If you can do a dissolution, you two can work out whatever you both feel is fair and the judge will ok it. For this to work though, you both have to be able to agree ahead of time on how you will split everything. If you cannot agree, you'll have to a divorce, and I think in that case the judge has more discretion in determining what type of split is "fair." Good luck with everything!!
  • Megan~Im afraid that he will fight me on everything and that it will have to be a divorce.  Im not willing to hand him what I have worked so hard for when he hasnt done anything to deserve it.  Im hoping the judge will see that he had nothing coming into this marriage and isnt entitled to leave with half.  Im going to try to do some research while D is napping.
  • I don't have any recs but want to send a few (((HUGS)))

  • Nestie Carly Adams handled my divorce 3 years ago, and was great. I don't think she does them anymore, but could probably recommend someone great for you!


    They didn't have you where I come from...never knew the best was yet to come...
  • I just wanted to say I am so sorry, ((HUGS)) and hang in there. Praying for you!
  • I just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you.  I don't have any recommendations.

  • I'm an atty and although I don't practice domestic law, I could give you a couple good references if you want them. My email is michelle at yourohiolawyer dot com. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
  • Michelle~

    YGM, thanks so much!

  • No recs for you, but big hugs...use us for your sounding board anytime.

    Try www.cbalaw.org and search the attorney directory.  You can search by practice area to get specialists.  DH's cousin is an attorney, Craig Barclay, I am not sure if he does domestic though.  What part of town are you in?  We have family/friends in Zanesville that are general practice atty's.

  • Not sure if you still need it, but here is my lawyer's info:

    Christopher Minnillo
    614-481-7990
    mm4legal@aol.com
    1500 West Third Avenue
    (he's in Grandview at the corner of 3rd and Grandview)

    Good luck!!!
  • Hi, I know you posted this a while ago, but had an attorney rec for you.  I am going through the divorce process now.  I am using Heather Sowald and am told she is one of the best. 

    Here is her website:
    http://www.sowaldclouse.com/

    I don't post or lurk often so I don't know your situation, but I do wish the best for you.  This is a difficult process to go through.

    Best Wishes!
