Ronald R. Petroff leads a Columbus divorce law firm that handles domestic relations and nothing else. All five attorneys practice family law full time from a downtown office near the Franklin County courts.
The team covers divorce, dissolution, high-asset divorce, and juvenile custody. It also takes matters many practices skip: military divorce, LGBTQIA divorce, grandparents' rights, prenuptial agreements, and statewide appeals.
Cases come from across Ohio, not just central counties. Clients work with the whole team rather than one attorney, and Petroff brings in outside financial and real estate experts when a case calls for it.
Five Ohio offices back this practice: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron. Eighteen attorneys work cases anywhere in the state.
Divorce and family law sits beside bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, criminal defense, probate, and estate planning. That mix helps when a marriage ends, and money trouble arrives with it.
Law Firm 500 named the firm a fastest-growing honoree in 2019 and again in 2021. Partner Meghan N. Brooks rose from senior associate in 2023.
Anyone looking for a divorce lawyer in Columbus can call the local number directly, and phone consultations cost nothing.
Dmitriy Borshchak built his practice around the Central Ohio court system, and his team is licensed in all 88 Ohio counties. Most cases land in Franklin, Delaware, Pickaway, Licking, Union, Madison, or Fairfield county courts.
Work runs from contested divorce and dissolution through hidden assets, business valuations, and contempt proceedings. Fathers' rights is a named focus, which sets the office apart from other Columbus divorce attorneys.
Attorney Borshchak has been honored as a Super Lawyers Rising Star and holds a strong Avvo client rating. Consultations with him are paid; other lawyers on the team meet with new clients at no charge.
