Excellent Lawyer

I highly recommend Joe and his team. Going through a divorce was incredibly stressful, and from the moment I reached out, the Nigh Law Group was compassionate, professional, and thorough. They took the time to really listen to my concerns. Their expertise in family law was evident, and I felt confide...nt knowing I had someone in my corner who was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to Joe, I was able to navigate this difficult time with peace of mind and a fair settlement. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is both skilled and empathetic, contact Joe Nigh.

Lifesaver

Joseph represented me in multiple counties regarding different cases, and I could not have had a better person by my side. All paperwork was immaculate and I was always well informed about what was going on. Joseph and his staff were very helpful to me during the most challenging part of my life. I w...ould recommend him to anyone that needs a family lawyer.

Custody for Fathers

I was looking for the best child custody lawyers in Ohio that had a good record of getting the father good results as far as custody is concerned. Joseph Nigh was the attorney I decided to work with and he got started on my case the day after my son was born. In what was a very frustrating and chal...lenging time dealing with the opposing side Joe did a good job of keeping me positive and getting a favorable outcome. He is extremely knowledgeable as is his staff. He was able to get me 50/50 shared parenting while avoiding a costly trial. I highly recommend Joe and his staff to anyone going through a child custody situation especially fathers.

Dedicated, Compassionate, and Committed Advocacy

I first met Attorney Nigh (Joe) in 2008. At the time, I was in the process of interviewing several attorneys in the Columbus / North Central Ohio area for representation in a very heated and complex child custody matter. Needless to say, during the course of my search for the right lawyer, I interv...iewed almost a dozen attorneys. As I presented my case materials and facts to each of them during initial consultations, most if not all were more concerned with how much of a deposit I would be able to place with them rather than exploring the very serious allegations of safety associated with my son's living arrangements at the time. Those who did express interest in my case, only did a cursory review of the evidence and were quick to dash my hopes of getting custody as a "father" in Ohio. Joe not only took the time to actually sit down with me for almost an hour, but was the ONLY attorney who actually took the time to actually analyze the initial facts that I provided him.....and he was honest enough to tell me that my chances of getting full residential custody would be a challenge. Throughout the next 3 years of on and off litigation, Joe continued to review copious amounts of evidence with meticulous eyes. Not only was he available to speak to me over the phone at a moment's notice, but the staff at his law firm were also there to support. Joe's sense of professionalism extended to both me and my family as we faced a very difficult moment in our lives. Joe would have the compassion to support me, but also maintain a strong sense of unbiased advocacy for my son's best interests. In the end, Joe's dedication to helping the court and the GAL to see the true facts and issues in my son's case resulted in me getting FULL RESIDENTIAL CUSTODY of my son. Joe is someone who has made an indelible mark on my son's like as well as mine. I will never forget the lengths that he and his staff have gone through over the last few years. To be honest, this was a very emotionally and monetarily trying situation as my son's custody case lasted for several years, however, the outcome in the end was well worth it. Joe's perseverance proves what a difference a dedicated attorney can make. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone, father or mother, who has need for a strong, knowledgeable, and dedicated family attorney.
