Durable Power-of-Attorney
Sometimes, a person suffering from medical or mental disability requires a guardianship to handle their decisions and other affairs. To avoid court costs and filing fees, as long as that person still has capacity, a Durable Power-of-Attorney can be nominated to manage those affairs.

Family and Domestic Law
Separation
Ohio family law provides for Legal Separation in cases of willful absence for a year or more, adultery, extreme cruelty, fraud, gross neglect of duty, habitual drunkenness, imprisonment, or uncontested incompatibility.
Before filing for Legal Separation, it’s important to determine whether your ultimate goal is to salvage the marriage, or to end it. If your ultimate purpose is to end the marriage, Legal Separation will only require you to endure another round of litigation and expense, when you later initiate Divorce proceedings.
Dissolution
If you and your spouse agree on all issues; including custody, child support, division of assets and liabilities, we can help you file for dissolution to terminate the marriage.
Divorce
- Prenuptial & Antenuptial Agreements

First Amendment
We defend our clients’ rights against invasion of privacy and false, defamatory, and misleading statements. If your good name has been trampled by someone’s reckless disregard for the truth, you need to defend your First Amendment rights, and we’re here to help.
If you’ve been wrongfully accused of making false and defamatory statements, or if you’ve been accused of speech that violates a competition or confidentiality agreement, we’ll defend your Constitutional rights.
Guardianship
If you have minor children, a Will also lets you appoint a guardian to ensure their future is cared for.
Ohio’s “lemon law” (R.C. §1345.71 et seq.) provides a legal right to a replacement vehicle, or refund of the entire purchase price, where (1) a manufacturer has had a reasonable opportunity to repair the vehicle but failed after three (3) or more attempts; or where (2) the vehicle has been in the manufacturer’s service facility for a combined total of thirty (30) or more days during the car’s first 18,000 miles or its first year; or where (3) the manufacturer failed after eight (8) or more attempts to repair various different issues; or where (4) the manufacturer has failed after one (1) attempt to repair an issue capable of causing death or serious injury.
Ohio's "lemon law" applies to new cars, and applies to used cars purchased within a year of the original date of delivery, with less than 18,000 miles at the time of purchase.

Litigation
Litigation is a dynamic and multifaceted endeavor. From the very start, litigation demands a strategic approach since the paths you choose will affect your available possibilities later. Sometimes it merely takes another’s counsel, asking the right questions, to bring clarity to the issues.

The cost of litigation is not always predictable. But Campbell Perry delivers considerable value for the breadth of our expertise and the quality of our services. We’ll do all that we can to manage your expectations within your available budget.
Motor Vehicle Repair Rule
Ohio's motor vehicle repair rule (O.A.C. 109:4-3-13) applies to repair and service, and entitles you to a written estimate for service greater than $25, and requires your authorization for any service that exceeds that estimate by more than 10%. The law also requires suppliers to make certain disclosures, and to provide certain documentation.

Trusts
A Trust is a document providing for the disposition of assets at the time of your and your spouse’s death, usually to your children or grandchildren, avoiding the normal Probate process. The Grantor of a Living Trust usually also serves as its Trustee. The Grantor’s surviving spouse and children are generally the Successor Trustees, designated in the Trust documents.
Trusts are an effective way to delay the distribution of assets to minor children, who aren’t yet capable of managing valuable assets. A Trust can be structured to distribute smaller amounts, for education or other living expenses, but not to distribute more than you deem appropriate, until the Beneficiaries reach a specific age.
Trusts can also provide for distribution to children of a prior marriage. Without a Trust, your assets might transfer to your surviving spouse, not the parent of your children. That spouse’s estate could later be rewritten, to the exclusion of your children. This scenario can be avoided with a Living Trust or an Irrevocable Trust.
Used Cars -- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
In addition to Ohio's "lemon law," a federal law known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act may apply to your used car, no matter how old, if it was sold to you with a warranty, extended warranty, or a service contract.
Contact our office to discuss how we’ll defend and protect your consumer rights.
Used Cars -- Motor Vehicle Advertisement And Sale Rule
Ohio's motor vehicle advertisement and sale rule (O.A.C. 109:4-3-16) applies to new and used cars, and defines deceptive or unfair practices in connection with the advertisement and sale of a motor vehicle. If a dealer fails to make certain disclosures, or misrepresents certain aspects of the transaction, it allows for rescission (cancelation) of the transaction, or three times damages, and reasonable attorney’s fees.
Contact our office to discuss how we’ll defend and protect your consumer rights.
Used Cars -- Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (“CSPA”)
Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act (“CSPA”) applies to new and used cars. The CSPA prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in connection with a consumer transaction, when the subject of a transaction is represented as of a particular standard, or quality, if it is not. The CSPA further prohibits unconscionable practices, including when a supplier knows of the inability of the consumer to receive a substantial benefit from the subject of the transaction, or knowingly makes misleading statements of opinion on which the consumer is likely to rely to the consumer’s detriment. Ohio law prohibits these violations whether committed before, during, or after a transaction, and allows the consumer to rescind (cancel) the transaction, or to recover three times damages. It provides for statutory damages, economic damages, non-economic damages, and reasonable attorney’s fees.
Contact our office to discuss how we’ll defend and protect your consumer rights.
Wills
If you intend to distribute property to your heirs, or to anyone other than a blood relative, we can help you draft or update a Will. With a valid Will, your assets will be transferred, through the Probate process, to the individual beneficiaries you name. The Will is filed in the Probate Division of your county’s Common Pleas Court. Your chosen Executor will transfer your assets, according to your wishes as set forth in the Will.
If you’ve lost a loved one, and if their estate documents left unanswered questions, we can even help you litigate the matter.
