Practice Areas

Comprehensive legal services for individuals and businesses in the Cleveland area.

Family Law & Divorce

Navigating family legal matters requires both legal skill and human understanding.

We handle all aspects of family law including divorce, legal separation, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support, and property division. We also assist with adoptions, guardianship, and domestic violence protective orders. Our goal is to protect your interests and those of your children while minimizing conflict wherever possible. Susan M. Stephanoff also serves as a Parent Coordinator and Guardian ad Litem, helping families resolve parenting disputes and representing the best interests of children in court proceedings.

Personal Injury

Fighting for fair compensation when you've been injured through no fault of your own.

If you've been injured in a car accident, truck accident, workplace injury, or due to someone else's negligence, you deserve strong representation. We handle personal injury claims from investigation through settlement or trial, working to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Criminal Defense

Protecting your rights and your future when the stakes are highest.

Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful experiences a person can endure. We provide vigorous defense representation for misdemeanor and felony charges, DUI/OVI, drug offenses, theft, assault, and more. We will thoroughly investigate your case, challenge the evidence, and fight for the best possible outcome.

Business & Corporate Law

Sound legal counsel for every stage of your business journey.

From formation to dissolution, we support businesses of all sizes. Services include entity formation (LLC, corporation, partnership), operating agreements, shareholder agreements, contract drafting and review, business acquisitions and sales, and commercial dispute resolution. We help you build a strong legal foundation so you can focus on growing your business.

Estate Planning & Probate

Plan for the future and protect what matters most to you and your family.

We assist clients with wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations. We also guide families through the probate process, estate administration, and trust administration — ensuring your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected.

Real Estate Law

Protecting your interests in residential and commercial real estate transactions.
