Your divorce, custody and child support case should be important to your family law attorney. Each Ohio Family Law Attorney at the Law Offices of Virginia C. Cornwell understands that not every case can settle. They understand that when a case has to go to trial, and your future or your child’s future at stake, it is not enough to simply show up at trial and talk. It’s GO TIME. It’s about evidence, the law and the best interest of the child. It’s about testimony and PROOF. A piece of paper is meaningless to a court if it’s not admissible according to the Ohio Rules of Evidence, no matter what is written on that paper. At the end of the day, it’s about doing your homework and being prepared.

Helping You to Reach a Win/Win Outcome Whenever Possible
Win – Win outcomes only happen in family law when both parties participate to reach an agreement. Each lawyer will work with you to try to resolve your matter rationally, reasonably and efficiently, hoping for the best, but at the same time fully preparing for the possibility that an amicable resolution will not be reached and you may need to go to trial to receive the proper result under the 
law. Our divorce and family law attorneys will pursue the best result available in your divorce, dissolution, child support, child custody and family law case in a manner which is both proactive and practical. Each Columbus Ohio Divorce Lawyer and Franklin County Family Law Attorney on our team is here to help.
When clients are willing, we suggest tools to “control the damage and get it done” such as mediation, and earnest negotiation in order to reach an amicable solution. Sometimes, parties agree upon some issues but reach an impasse on others. At the Law Offices of Virginia C. Cornwell, we are willing to stipulate to agreed upon issues (let the court know you have an agreement on some issues) and, if necessary, have a trial on only the remaining issues.
Virginia and her of counsel attorneys work together on many cases. We strive to return e-mails and phone calls within 24 hours when possible. We know that divorce, custody and other family law cases can be stressful, and it is the attorney’s job to see the big picture.
When you hire us, you are hiring a team with experience. Our team has cases throughout Ohio. Family law is a matter of state and federal law, not county law. While procedures vary from county to county, and attorneys must follow and respect the procedures of the county each case is in, all 88 Ohio counties have to follow the same law. Otherwise, decisions would get overturned on appeal.

Each case presents its own challenges. The business or professional practice owner going through divorce or dissolution needs an attorney who has experience with the complex considerations involved.

Regardless of your income or asset situation, our firm strives to give you practical advice tailored to YOUR situation, and show you the best strategy to get you through the process as simply and successfully as possible. We want to help you receive the best result possible whether it is through trial, mediation, or a negotiated settlement.
