Our attorneys focus exclusively on divorce and family law, equipping us with the skills to thoroughly address complex issues such as spousal support, property division, child custody and parenting plans, child support, protection orders, and more. Our deep knowledge and experience ensure that you receive the highest level of insight and guidance.
At Wood & Long LLC, we understand that choosing the right family law attorney is about more than just experience and knowledge—it's about finding the firm that aligns with your unique needs and values. We believe that every client deserves personalized attention and tailored solutions. We take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your objectives, and develop a legal strategy that aligns with your best interests.
Most people aren’t familiar with the two key roles that attorneys play. The “Attorney” role is negotiating with your ex’s lawyer and litigating in the courtroom. But there's also the “Counselor at Law” role, which involves providing you privately with honest, experienced guidance. This includes offering a realistic assessment of your chances of success and addressing any goals that may not be achievable. The most effective family law attorneys are those who are candid with you, even when the truth is tough to hear.
At Wood & Long LLC, we believe in clear, direct communication and are committed to being candid about the likely outcomes of your case. Our aim is to support you with integrity, ensuring that you are fully informed and empowered to make the best decisions for yourself and your family.
In Central Ohio, there are many skilled and qualified divorce and family law attorneys. While some attorneys may prefer to litigate every issue, which can significantly increase legal fees, our approach is different.
At our firm, we are fully prepared to take your case to court if necessary. However, we also recognize the considerable costs, time, and stress that litigation can impose on our clients. That’s why we work closely with you to evaluate the pros and cons of negotiating a settlement versus proceeding to trial.
Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions that are best for you and your family. We are committed to balancing effective advocacy with practical solutions, ensuring that you have the guidance and support to navigate your case in a way that minimizes impact and maximizes outcomes.
At Wood & Long, we are often asked why we choose to practice family law. Despite the challenges and emotional strain involved, there is nothing more rewarding than helping clients resolve deeply personal and family issues in a way that sets them on a positive path forward. Our mission is to guide clients through their divorce, custody disputes, or support issues towards amicable resolutions, allowing them to focus on rebuilding their lives and planning for the future.
We understand that family law matters can sometimes lead to intense negotiations or litigation. Our experienced attorneys handle complex divorce, custody, and support cases with a firm yet ethical approach, always keeping in mind the impact on our clients' daily lives and finances. We are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes while minimizing stress and expense.
Choose a convenient time for your initial consultation, either at our office or via a Zoom call. This meeting allows you to discuss the unique details of your situation and outline your goals or ideal outcomes.
Together, we will create a tailored legal strategy to empower you in making informed and confident decisions about your future. During this step, we will also review the associated costs to ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect.
After you retain our services, we will guide you through the legal process, helping you take the necessary steps to rebuild and move toward the life you envision.
