    Our family faced one of the toughest times in our life with our oldest son recently! Gabby and Jen came to our rescue! They worked hard to help not only us navigate one of the toughest times , but they also worked hard to give our son a voice! These ladies are a force to be reckoned with! I can’t say enough good things about these wonderful ladies. We didn’t just feel like another client, we felt like they truly cared! They put my mind at east anytime I had a question or concern. They were always there to answer my questions and reassure us that everything was going to be okay! It didn’t matter what time of day or what day of the week it was, they were always there to ease my mind! If you find yourself in a tough custody battle, and need help, give Gabby a call! She’s super sweet, but she’s tough! Thanks so much to Gabby and Jen for helping our family!! We are truly grateful! 🩷

    They walked me through the process of what will and could happen. I understood most of the process and what to expect. They are really good at what they do. Joanna was really helpful through the entire process and always answered any questions that I had. My only issue is with their communications app. It glitched sometimes and wouldn’t let me open some documents until I closed and opened the app again. Other than that 10/10 would recommend.

    Klie Law Office F.A.Q

    1. What types of family law cases do you handle in Canton, OH?

    We handle a wide range of family law matters, including contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support, property division, paternity, and protection orders. Our Canton family law attorneys are here to guide you through every step with compassion and clarity.

    2. How is child custody determined in Ohio?

    Child custody decisions in Ohio are based on the child’s best interests. Courts consider each parent’s involvement, the child’s needs, the stability of each home, and how well the parents can cooperate. While shared parenting is common, every situation is unique. Klie Law Offices helps parents present a strong case that reflects what is best for their child.

    3. Do I need a lawyer for an employment law issue?

    While some workplace issues may seem straightforward at first, employment law matters often involve complex state and federal regulations, strict deadlines, and significant financial or professional consequences. An employment lawyer can help you understand your rights, evaluate your options, and avoid costly mistakes—whether you are dealing with a wrongful termination, discrimination claim, wage dispute, contract issue, or compliance concern. Having legal guidance early on can protect your interests and put you in a stronger position to resolve the matter efficiently and effectively.

    4. When should I contact an employment lawyer?

    You should consider contacting an employment lawyer as soon as a workplace issue begins to affect your job, income, or professional reputation. Early legal guidance can be especially important if you are facing termination, disciplinary action, harassment, wage disputes, or are asked to sign an employment or severance agreement. Speaking with a lawyer early can help you understand your options, protect your rights, and prevent small issues from turning into larger legal problems.

    5. When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?

    You should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident or injury caused by someone else’s negligence. Early legal guidance can help preserve evidence, handle communications with insurance companies, and ensure important deadlines are met. An attorney can also help you understand the full value of your claim, including medical expenses, lost income, and long-term impacts, so you are not pressured into accepting an unfair settlement.

    Your Ohio Rights & Options

    You’re considering a divorce, but you have children. Should you stay together for their sake? As attorney Erika Klie Kolenich explains, staying together for the children isn’t always the right thing to do. If you’re in an unhappy or unhealthy relationship, it’s not in your children’s interests to keep them in that situation. If you’re considering a divorce or dealing with another family law matter in West Virginia, contact Klie Law Offices today. https://www.klielaw.com/ Should I stay married for the kids?

    What is Equitable Distribution?

    Klie Law Offices June 5, 2024 1:37 pm

    Your spouse committed adultery, abandonment, or otherwise caused your divorce. Do you still have to share the value of your home, your retirement, and your other assets with them? The short answer is yes, but how much you’ll have to share depends on the situation. West Virginia uses the “equitable distribution” rule in divorce and separation, which means the judge has to divide your assets in a way that’s fair, but not necessarily equal. Fault is one of many factors the judge can take into account, and good legal arguments can help you protect more of your assets, as long as the overall division of property is broadly equal. This is a complicated and nuanced topic, and it’s important to have good legal counsel. If you are getting divorced or considering a divorce, contact Klie Law Offices today to speak with an experienced family law attorney. https://www.klielaw.com/ Does Fault Matter When Splitting Assets in Divorce? – Klie Law Offices
