Family Law

Divorce
Child Support
Child support and child custody are the disputes most frequently encountered in family court. The law requires parents to provide financial support for their minor children. When child support comes before the court, the amount is usually calculated according to a formula that considers the parents’ employment incomes, the cost of the child’s health insurance, any support the non-custodial parent pays for other minors, and other factors. Both child support and child custody are apt to change in response to parental life circumstances. A parent may be transferred, may receive a substantial raise, lose his or her job, etc. Much of the time that a Family Lawyer is in court will be spent on behalf of clients who are dealing with these types of modifications.
Child Custody and Visitation
Dissolution, on the other hand, alleges no fault. In this instance, the husband and wife file a petition together asking to end their marriage. They must have been separated for one continuous year, and established between them the details of property division, issues with support, child custody, visitation, and payment of debts. At any time before the court grants them a decree of dissolution of marriage, either party may file a complaint requesting divorce. Agreeable couples often favor dissolution of marriage because it is less involved and less expensive than a divorce. A decree of dissolution of marriage is often called a no-fault divorce.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial agreements are an interesting and growing area of family law. Half a century ago, divorce was a rare occurrence and prenuptial agreements even rarer. Fifty years ago they were largely the province of the famous or very wealthy. Today, in a society filled with blended families, they have become necessary for couples who are marrying for the third or fourth time and who have children with previous partners and assets they wish to preserve for their heirs. Therefore, today it is common for a happy couple in life’s prime to both get prenups as a routine part of wedding planning. Prenuptial are not about a lack of trust but, rather, about clear communication.
Spousal Support
At Statman Harris, LLC we understand that marital division can be a very trying time for everyone. Divorce or the dissolution of marriage is the final termination of a marital union, canceling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between the parties. This process may also involve issues of spousal support, child custody, child support, distribution of property and division of debt.
Legal Separation
Statman Harris, LLC represents individuals in all aspects of family law including divorces, dissolutions, and legal separations. The firm has also represented individuals in a wide variety of parenting issues, including custody and adoption.
Annulment
As the definition of “family” in the United States continues to evolve, so also does the practice of family law. Family Law is a specialized area of law involving many issues as they apply to the family and domestic relationships. Examples include legalities relating to marriage such as prenuptial agreements, spousal abuse, annulment, separation, mediation, and divorce. Children are also central to family law. Their issues include adoption, surrogacy, embryo ownership, child abuse, custody, support, paternity, and emancipation. At the other end of the spectrum are the aged and their unique challenges, such as grandparent custody rights, elder abuse, estate planning, and probate.
Child Abuse

Fraud
At Statman Harris, LLC our attorneys evaluate and investigate the viability of class action litigation in many cases involving consumer fraud and deceptive practices in a wide variety of industries.

Class action litigation provides an efficient and effective vehicle for compensating those who have suffered losses to deceptive consumer trade practices, as well as for deterring unfair practices on the part of major corporations.
Theft
Identity Theft
Regulatory compliance continues to be a big issue for many credit unions, as the government changes regulations frequently, especially following the recent housing market meltdown. Identity theft is another issue every banking institution must be concerned about, as major banks, along with numerous retailers have been hacked. In the event a credit union computer systems is hacked, they need legal advice as to what steps must be taken to protect their customers. Other times when a credit union may need to consult an attorney include those involving member transactions. credit reporting, employment policies and more. Real estate transactions, commercial litigation, and daily operations are three other areas where legal advice may be sought at one time or another.
Forgery
In addition, a credit union attorney may assist with credit reporting, truth in lending compliance, fraud prevention and more. Forged endorsements, check forgery and bond claims fall under this law area, as does the modification of bond claims. The time may come when a credit union needs to negotiate with examiners at both the state and federal level or letters of understanding need to be created. The attorney can be of assistance here also and with numerous other matters a credit union may face during regular operation.

They represent their clients in tort cases, defend against instances of suspected securities fraud, and much more. They can represent their clients in court or file appeals when a past matter has not been adequately resolved.
Business Transactions
Commercial Litigation Law is complex. It covers all types of business transactions in every type of industry imaginable. Attorneys and law firms that handle this type of work must stay consistently updated in commercial law, a branch that is always changing. Even the smallest filing error, typo in a demand letter, or failure to disclose anything can cost the plaintiff the entire case. The outcome of many of these cases can determine the future of a business and affect the lives of everyone working for that company.
Limited Liability Companies
Of all the existing, legally-recognized business arrangements, corporations are the most complicated and commonly misunderstood. Corporations are distinguished from other business entities, like sole proprietorships, partnerships, and limited liability companies, by a number of basic traits.
Antitrust

Employment Law

Employment Discrimination
In the United States, the standard workweek was set at 44 hours by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This was reduced to 40 hours in 1950. Battles between labor unions and employers ultimately resulted in significant power and influence for the unions and multiple benefits for workers. Hundreds of labor laws have been passed, but some of the most significant are the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate Law addresses many legal topics and is governed by state and federal statues, along with common law. In actuality, many aspects of real estate law are also seen in contract law, and individuals must realize that when one talks about realty, real property or real estate, they are all referring to the same thing. Real property covers more than tangible assets. It includes the land and any immovable or permanent structures, such as bushes, trees, sheds, outbuildings and minerals on the land. The definition extends beyond this, also covering the benefits, interests and rights associated with real property ownership, including on, above and below the land.
Premises Liability
Slip and fall accidents are normally based on complicated premises liability laws. They concern the legal obligation of a property owner to keep the property reasonably safe. The legal responsibilities of the property owner differ depending on state and local laws and the circumstances of the fall.
Construction Litigation
Mortgages and equity loans fall under the jurisdiction of real estate law, as do neighbor disputes. Companies or homeowners could find they need to sue a builder due to a construction defect such as toxic mold, or a property owner may find they have a question about eminent domain, land planning, or land use. Any issue impacting a renter, home buyer, home seller, landlord or homeowner can qualify as a real estate law issue.
Real Estate Transactions
Individuals need to be aware of the Federal Fair Housing Act, legislation designed to prevent discrimination in any real estate transaction. One can’t discriminate against a person based on national origin, race, color, sex or religion. In addition, real estate brokers are banned from doing the same. The USA Patriot Act requires that earnest money deposits be reported, and the National Flood Insurance Program calls for flood insurance in specified areas.The Community Reinvestment Act is a law that banks must follow which states they are required to provide loans in any area where they collect deposits, and the Free Credit Reporting Act allows a consumer to see their credit reports from each consumer reporting agency once a year at no charge. In the event someone in real estate violates one or more of these laws, a person should seek legal guidance.
Eminent Domain
Land Use and Zoning
As real estate law is extremely broad, the issues range from the simple to the complex. A company or individual may require assistance with real property rights and interests while another needs help with zoning and land use issues. Home loans and foreclosures fall under this law area, as do landlord, tenant, and rental property issues. Property development, agriculture issues, sales and purchases may also require the assistance of a real estate attorney, as they handle the transfer of ownership along with other entities to ensure problems don’t arise in the future.

Health Law

Personal Injury
For thousands of years, laws have been written concerning the right of an injured person to get compensation for an injury. Courts in many lands have held that people should be held responsible for their actions. The personal injury laws in the United States are intended to ensure that someone who has suffered an injury because of another’s negligence receives financial restitution for their loss.

Auto Accidents
Dog Bites

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Statman Harris, LLC attorneys are experienced in a wide range of legal disciplines, including banking, work-outs and turnaround, corporate, bankruptcy, real estate, probate and estate planning, family law, labor and employment law, and class action litigation.
Wills
Regulatory lawyers are not just involved in compliance counseling. They also give advice on enforcement and both internal and external investigations, the disposition and restructuring of bank assets, the organization of bank units and subsidiaries, acquisitions, investments, strategic alliances and joint ventures, creation and distribution of bank securities initiative and deposit and other financial instruments, capital raising, implementation and evaluation of bank marketing, the structuring of ‘living wills’ and recovery and resolution plans, cross-selling and similar initiatives.
Trusts
Certain assets pass to heirs contractually and never enter probate. Any items held in revocable or irrevocable trusts don’t go through the probate process either, as long as the trust was created during the deceased’s lifetime. The court will not become involved in these cases, although any assets transferred in this manner remain subject to estate taxes. When probate is required, the personal representative collects and inventories any property of the deceased. Debts and taxes must then be paid and remaining property distributed. Parties may challenge any portion of this process, from the validity of the will to the naming of a personal representative.
Power of Attorney
Medical or Health Care Power of Attorney: A “power of attorney” is a legal document that gives you, the agent, the power to act on behalf of your child if she is incapacitated and cannot make decisions for herself. A medical power of attorney gives you the ability to make medical decisions on behalf of your child. In Ohio, a medical power of attorney needs to be signed in front of two adult eligible to witness or the signing must be acknowledged by a notary.
Probate
At Statman Harris, LLC out team of experts have over 10 years of probate expertise. Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person’s property under the valid will. Probate law interprets the instructions of the deceased, decides the executor as the personal representative of the estate, and adjudicates the interests of heirs and other parties who may have claims against the estate.

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves debt restructuring but limits the amount of debt that can be restructured. Chapter 13 is also called a wage earner’s plan. It enables individuals with regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts. Debtors usually propose a plan of repayment by making installments to creditors over 3 to 5 years. The plan will be for 3 years unless the court approves a longer period “for cause” if the debtor’s current monthly income is less than the applicable state median. The plan is generally for 5 years if the debtor’s current monthly income is greater than the applicable state median. In no case may a plan provide for payments over a period longer than 5 years. During this time the law forbids creditors from starting or continuing collection efforts.
