About Stephen

Learn Stephen’s areas of practice.

 

I've been practicing law in north-central Ohio since 1975, concentrating most of my general practice in family law, estate planning and administration, real estate, finance, litigation and injury matters.  I work toward achieving justice for my clients every day I go into the office. I also try just as often to do something to improve the law profession and our legal system. My professional goals are for people to be treated fairly in this world and for lawyers to deserve a terrific reputation as a group.  I am also honored to have an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell.

 

My interests include family!  Then, diversity, improving the legal profession and administration of justice, representing clients carefully, general law practice, helping mentor young lawyers, receiving referrals, music, canoeing, photography and reading fiction.  I play guitar in a band with my son and some friends and have a blast doing it.

Estate Planning
My husband and I have a toddler and wanted to plan for his future should anything happen to us. Mr. Tilson helped us with our wills, powers of attorney, etc. We feel so much more at ease knowing we have a plan in place for our son's future.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I highly recommend Mr. Tilson as an attorney and as a mentor for young lawyers. As a lawyer, Attorney Tilson works tirelessly for his clients and takes time and care with each individual - a quality which I both admire and find rare in this profession. He is a constant professional. Even in the face of the most vicious of personal attacks towards him or his client, Steve does not take his eyes off the issues. I have enjoyed the few cases we have been involved with together and often find myself sitting back and just watching the man work. As a mentor, he is someone that I have turned to on countless occasions for advice - both legal and personal - and he has yet to lead me astray. He is an invaluable asset to our profession and for those young lawyers who want to see law practiced the right way, you need only watch Steve Tilson."
