David Paul Thomas

David Thomas, Esq. is an Of Counsel attorney with Gavvl Law and one of the most experienced members of the firm's team, offering 30 years of practice in Ohio and 19 years in New York. A graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, David has spent decades helping families resolve the legal issues that accompany separation, divorce, and the years that follow.

David handles a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, custody disputes, spousal and child support, and post-decree modifications. His long career has exposed him to nearly every variation a family law case can take, and that depth of experience allows him to anticipate issues and craft strategies that hold up over time — not just at the moment of the decree, but as families' circumstances evolve.

Post-decree work is a meaningful part of David's practice. He helps clients modify custody and support arrangements when incomes, living situations, or children's needs change, ensuring that orders entered years ago continue to make sense for the families living under them. His experience makes him a steady guide through these often-complex follow-on disputes.

Clients benefit from David's thoughtful and strategic representation. He approaches each matter with professionalism and a focus on achieving the best outcomes for families, drawing on his decades of practice to provide clear, measured counsel even in highly contested situations. He helps clients see the bigger picture and make decisions that serve their long-term interests.

As part of Gavvl Law, David serves clients across Ohio's 88 counties, including families in the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton metros. To discuss a divorce, custody, support, or post-decree matter with David, schedule a consultation with the firm.
