Brian Michael Urban

Brian M. Urban strives to offer his clients the opportunity to effectively participate, with his guidance, in whatever process has been selected for their own particular family law matters. Brian is able to provide his guidance by drawing upon over twenty-five years of experience as a litigator, advisor and negotiator since his 1979 admission to the practice of law in Ohio. He has been a Certified Specialist in family relations law in Ohio since the inception of that specialization certification in 2001. Martindale Hubbell's Law Directory has awarded its top AV rating to both Brian and his firm.

Brian has eagerly embraced the emergence of Collaborative Family Law as a meaningful alternative to those clients who wish to minimize the impact of a divorce or other family crisis upon their children, preserve their ability to communicate with their former spouses, and obtain a divorce or other resolution with their dignity intact. Brian has been a member of the Center for Principled Family Advocacy ( representing the collaborative law group in Northeast Ohio) since its inception in 2000, served as a trustee, and is proud to currently serve as both a member of the Collaborative Practice Group and President in 2009 for the Center for Principled Family Advocacy. He is one of only a small handful of attorneys in Northeast Ohio who are members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
