Family Law

Family Law is truly one of the most important, vital, and potentially life changing areas of legal practice, dedicated to addressing matters intimately connected to the core of personal lives and familial relationships. This area of the law encompasses a comprehensive range of issues, which include prenuptial/antenuptial agreements, divorce and dissolution of marriages, to the complexities of child custody, alimony, and adoption procedures. Additionally, it delves into the nuances of spousal support, paternity disputes, and the rights of grandparents and other extended family members.  At Shaheen Law Group, we recognize the profound impact these issues can have on an individual’s life and the lives of their loved ones. As such, our approach to Family Law is not just rooted in legal experience, but also in a deep-seated commitment to compassionate counsel. We understand the delicate nature of juvenile cases and the profound impact they can have on a young person’s future and well-being. We approach each case with a blend of legal expertise and compassionate understanding, ensuring that the rights and best interests of the young individual are at the forefront. Whether you’re seeking representation for a juvenile matter, custody dispute, guardianship issue, or guidance on issues related to youth and the law, we are committed to providing informed counsel, advocating for just outcomes, and championing the potential of every young individual. We strive to ensure that the rights, interests, and well-being of all parties involved are safeguarded, guiding our clients through each step with both precision and empathy. Depending upon several different factors, Family Law cases may be heard in one of three separate and district court systems: The Juvenile Court, the Probate Court or the Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Division..

Family Law cases that are heard in the Juvenile Court include:

  • Custody disputes between unmarried individuals;

Meagan P.

Mr. Shaheen was honestly above and beyond what I had expected. He was recommended by a family member. I had anxiety and stress due to my situation and Mr. Shaheen expressed care and personal compassion toward my situation. I always felt safe and protected when he needed to defend me. He kept me informed and provided direction legally, professionally, and personally. I do not know any other “legal counsel” that would offer the same.

Cameron K.

No other way to explain that Shaheen Law firm set out to what they wanted to do and got it done!! I was in a ongoing custody case during Covid and justice was served thanks to all their help. Michael is amazing at what he does and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle my case! Everyone in the office was absolutely great and got back to you right away via phone calls and email. I would highly recommend them for all your law needs!

Michael Shaheen is the best of the best. He brilliantly and passionately represented me during my very complicated divorce. We started out as the underdogs and I feel that we came out on top. Worth every penny and more. Michael has unwavering loyalty to the best interests of his clients, and will fight to the end. Trust his process, let him do the job his way and you won’t be disappointed. Very thankful for his expertise and experience as a top notch attorney in Ohio.
