About Stephen
Biography
Stephen King was born in Roswell, New Mexico. Steve received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1985 from Wright State University, and spent a decade working in the field of engineering. He was a Licensed Professional Engineer, and holds two U.S. Patents.
He received his law degree in 1996 from the University of Cincinnati, and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1996. Steve has argued before the First District Court of Appeals, the Twelfth District Court of Appeals, and the Ohio Supreme Court. In 2008, Mr. King was successful in his petition to the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of Grandparents that had been awarded custody of their grandson when he was 1 year old. The trial court returned custody to the parents when the child was 5 years old because the parents no longer exhibited the same behaviors that resulted in them losing custody. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that a change of circumstances in the child or the grandparents had to be proven before a Trial Court could even consider returning custody of the child back to the parents.

Highly Recommend
Mr. King represents me in an ongoing, complicated divorce. He's kept me informed and protected against many things I would not have known about. High quality attorney with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Glad I didn't Have to go downtown to find the best.

Money well spent
I hired Mr. King for my divorce, and again when my ex filed to modify custody, he is not cheap but I was very pleased with his advice and representation. I still have custody of my kids, and my ex is afraid to go to court.
