Serving Families in Hamilton County

Just across the river, Hamilton County, Ohio, with Cincinnati as its county seat, is part of daily life for many Northern Kentucky families. People commonly work in one state and live in the other, own property on both sides of the river, or have a parent in Cincinnati while they live in Kentucky.

Because Ohio has its own laws and its own probate court system, families with ties to both states benefit from an attorney who works in Ohio as well as Kentucky. We help with Ohio estate planning and with coordinating plans for families whose lives cross the river, so documents work where they need to.
