  • Limited scope representation allows you to choose specific aspects of your case where you need legal help, such as drafting documents or providing advice. This option gives you more control and can be more affordable, but it does not include court appearances or complete case management.

    Full representation means our attorneys handle your entire case from start to finish. This includes all legal documents, court appearances, and ongoing support. It’s ideal if you want comprehensive assistance and peace of mind throughout the process.

  • In Ohio, you can object to a magistrate's decision if you believe there are legal or factual errors that impact the outcome of the case.

    Common grounds for objections include:

    1. Legal Errors:

    • The magistrate misapplied the law to the facts of the case.
    • The magistrate's decision conflicts with established legal precedents or statutes.

    2. Factual Errors:

    • The magistrate made incorrect findings of fact based on the evidence presented.
    • The decision is not supported by sufficient evidence in the record.

    3. Procedural Errors:

    • The magistrate failed to follow proper procedures, such as not allowing evidence to be presented or excluding relevant testimony.
    • There was a violation of due process or a failure to provide a fair hearing.

    4. Misinterpretation of Evidence:

    • The magistrate misunderstood or improperly weighed the evidence, leading to an unfair conclusion.

    5. Bias or Impropriety:

    • There is evidence suggesting the magistrate was biased or acted improperly in making the decision.

    Requirements for Objections:

    • Specificity: Objections must clearly state the grounds for disagreement with the magistrate's decision.  
    • Evidence: If objecting to factual findings, you must support your objection with a transcript of the proceedings or an affidavit if a transcript is unavailable.  

    By filing an objection, you request the judge to review the magistrate's decision and make a final ruling based on the identified errors.
