"Your New Best Friend"

Respected Divorce and Family Law Attorney

Your Ohio divorce will take one to two years. There will be much communication back and forth. Your attorney will know many intimate details of your life and your marriage. There will be difficult decisions, and at times you will need to trust that your legal counsel knows what he's doing and has your best interests at heart.

Which is to say, it's important that you are comfortable with the person you choose to handle your divorce. John M. Dohner has over 20 years of focused experience and uncommon qualifications in matrimonial and family law. He is highly regarded by his peers, by judges and former clients.

The Dohner Law Office handles all facets of divorce and family law, including property division, child custody, child support and spousal support. We represent men and women in the Akron area, Summit County and surrounding counties of northeastern Ohio. We invite you to arrange a consultation to see if Mr. Dohner's experience and approach are a match for your needs.

A Good Listener and a Frank Adviser

Mr. Dohner is a solo attorney who handles your case himself. He is a believer in divorce planning in advance of filing papers, and listens closely to clients to identify the unique issues and potential roadblocks to resolution. His familiarity with the tendencies of area judges enables him to give you an honest synopsis of the probable outcome of your case. Few attorneys are comfortable making such predictions, but he believes it is critical to making informed decisions.

The Dohner Law Office will arrange evening or weekend appointments, and Mr. Dohner can meet clients in our Akron office or in Hudson. Call 330.931.4216 or 866.887.1608. We accept Visa and MasterCard.
