Youngstown, Ohio, Family Law Divorce Lawyer
For many people, filing for divorce is the first time they have ever had to rely on the services of a lawyer. It is easy to understand why many divorce and family law attorneys are all-too-ready to talk about courtroom battles for custody of everything from children to the furniture. At the Rafidi Law Firm, we know that divorce is emotional enough without the added drama of an expensive drawn-out fight. As we like to tell our clients, "there may be a time to fight. But you can either send your kids through college, or the lawyers' kids."

Attorney Joseph F. Rafidi has more than 25 years of experience outside of the family law courtroom prior to attending law school and opening our firm in 2000. As a former business owner, he has seen instances of more than $2 million being spent on lawyers and legal fees. Much of it spent without a result that couldn't have been achieved by simply using common sense about the final outcome. Since 2000, Mr. Rafidi has been bringing a unique, real-world perspective to divorce settlement negotiations and the courtroom. That doesn't mean we roll over and give up easily, it simply means that we go the extra mile to find a collaborative resolution when possible, and a well-prepared case for a judge and jury, when necessary.
