Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation 50%

This category includes all legal actions that result in the termination of marriage or separation. Under Ohio law, this includes dissolutions, divorces, annulments, and legal separations.

50%
Child Custody 30%

Including child custody actions between unmarried parents, post-divorce/dissolution modifications of custodial arrangements or parenting time schedules, child support issues, Grandparents' rights, and/or contempt actions to enforce your orders.

30%
Child Support 5%

Cases involving minor children address the issue of child support. I have included this as 5% of my practice because this is a subset of the other categories. In addition, the CSEA can issue support orders and one should know their rights.

5%
Family 5%

There some circumstances that do not fit into the broader categories, such as cases involving common law marriage, divorces or custody cases involving same-sex couples, prenuptial or ante-nuptial agreements, spousal support modification actions, etc.

5%
Marriage and Prenuptials 5%

A well-written prenuptial agreement is very important, because a poorly-written agreement could be set aside by the Court. It is important to have an attorney draft yours, rather than attempt it on your own.

5%
Uncontested Divorce 5%

Most contested divorces settle by agreement of the parties. Such cases are therefore called "uncontested." Although most cases settle in this manner, I have included this as 5% of my practice because it is a subset of "Divorce & Separation."

Don’t waste your money and lose your kids

I hired this attorney and it was the worst mistake I made and hiring him nearly cost me losing my kids Between December 18, 2024, and January 2, 2025, Mr. Plumb failed to respond to multiple emails, provided a draft affidavit only 24 hours before the January 3, 2025, court deadline without prior cons...ultation, and submitted a document containing numerous factual inaccuracies that he did not correct despite being notifiedMr. Plumb arrived more than 30 minutes late to five out of eight scheduled hearings. He provided case updates only after two hearings. All the other hearings he would not even though I would actively schedule meetings. He frequently failed to respond to my emails in a timely manner and was often inconsistent in his responses. I did not know when he would respond and when he would not. Also his resposnes did not seem to follow an order or priority. He would remain seated during hearings even though everyone would stand up out of respect to the magistrate. There were two billing discrepancies—one for $3,500 and another for $5,000 during which he threatened to withdraw representation unless payment was made. The errors were later confirmed to be on his office’s side after my husband made three to four follow-up calls. Mr. Plumb recommended Jamie Niesen as a forensic psychologist. Public records show that Dr. Niesen was previously involved in a case where her professional conduct was questioned regarding the accuracy of reported information. Mr. Plumb failed to follow up on filed motions; for example, when asked about the status of a contempt motion filed two months earlier, he stated that he did not know its progress. After I expressed concern by email regarding Dr. Niesen’s suitability and requested guidance, Mr. Plumb stopped responding. This pattern of delayed or absent communication occurred repeatedly. Mr. Plumb missed the deadline to submit evidence to the GAL and requested an extension directly from the GAL without copying me or filing formal documentation of the request. I subsequently compiled and submitted the evidence to the GAL myself. Mr. Plumb forwarded an email from the GAL five days after its original date, delaying my access to information. He spoke with the GAL on August 28 but did not inform me of the discussion. I only became aware of it after reviewing the GAL’s billing records.

Expert experience, dedication, and talent

David Plumb exceeded all of my expectations when he represented me in a serious case regarding an immediate threat to my personal well being. From start to finish, David demonstrated mastery in all areas of the law and legal representation. He is experienced and clearly has full working knowledge and... expertise in all areas of law that he practices. When faced with complicated court bureaucracy, David knew exactly who we needed to speak with, and how to commicate effectively. In several instances, he was able to strategize on the fly, filing various motions that maximized my chances for success in court. When it came to litigation, David represented me with poise and the utmost professionalism as he executed on a legal strategy that truly conveyed my circumstances to the court, and ultimately allowed me to reclaim my sense of safety and security in my own home. I would recommend David to any individual who is considering his services.

Would use again if necessaary

David did a great job in getting me visitation rights to my grandson. At every step of the way I was kept informed of the current status of the case as well as what the next steps were. David was very knowledgeable in every aspect of my case and paid attention to details and what I really wanted. I a...lways felt confident that he had my best interest in mind. Now I know when I will have my grandson and he is happy as ever. Thanks David

Never Gives up!

I hired David for my child custody case and couldn't have asked for a better lawyer for this! He was extremely thorough with his initial consult and all the way through the final court proceedings. He would reach out with questions or suggestions as soon as he had them and made me feel like I was ext...remely important. The team at Don Roberts is amazing and second to none. During the process we addressed my needs and wants throughout and were able to get everything we asked for from the beginning!
