Dougherty, Hanneman, & Snedaker, LLC ◦ Family Law Attorneys

The Columbus, Ohio, law firm of Dougherty, Hanneman & Snedaker, LLC, ("DHS") limits its practice to divorce, dissolution and other family law matters.

By focusing exclusively on family law, the DHS firm deepens its knowledge of this legal area and, therefore, is well prepared to offer expertise and value to each new client.

The attorneys at DHS stay up-to-date on new laws and trends in family courts throughout Ohio and across the nation. The lawyers are well acquainted with the Central Ohio family court judges and magistrates who will make decisions affecting each client's life.

Because the attorneys handle family law cases on a regular basis, they have developed efficient processes that help save time and money for their clients.

Client-Focused Firm

The DHS law firm understands that it works for the client and that the client is the decision maker.  The firm’s job is to help solve client legal problems as appropriately and expeditiously as possible.  That is why we say the DHS firm is client-focused.

Perhaps you have inquired of family, friends or acquaintances about their divorce, dissolution or other family law matter. Their information may or may not provide you valid insight and perspective. That is because your marital situation and potential solutions are unique. Your case requires a personal legal strategy rather than a routine approach.

To develop your personal legal strategy requires that you describe your situation candidly and for the DHS attorney to carefully listen. Then the DHS attorney uses a three-step approach to create your personal legal strategy as shown below.

• First, the attorney educates the client regarding his or her various legal options. This includes a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
• Second, the client determines which option or options are best.
• Third, the firm’s attorneys work diligently to implement the client’s decisions.
