Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Child support is calculated using a State-mandated formula consisting of many factors. This regular periodic payment made by the noncustodial parent is based on the earning capacity of each parent, the number of children in the marriage, and the particular need of the children.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  The dissolution of marriage involves many different issues, including the division of property, child support, spousal support, child custody, and visitation. We can help make sense of it all for you during these stressful and emotional times.

• Sex Crimes
  Considered among the most heinous offenses, sex crimes are aggressively tried. A guilty verdict can permanently alter your life by destroying personal relationships and requiring you to register as a sex offender. Rape, sexual assault, solicitation, and Internet sex crimes fall under this category.
• White Collar Crimes
  White collar crimes are financially motivated crimes, including fraud, identity theft, embezzlement, computer crimes, and more. It’s important to note that anybody can commit these crimes, but they are usually associated with business people. We work with our clients by giving them the personal attention they need to customize a legal strategy tailored to their case.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Your family, career, and finances can be impacted when you’re convicted of a violent crime. It’s crucial to have an attorney defend your rights and your future. Felony and misdemeanor can result in background checks for years to come. We fight to present your case and work to have the case dismissed of the damages mitigated.
• Embezzlement
• Drug Crimes
  We defend our clients against state and federal crimes involving marijuana charges, cocaine charges, heroin possession, and prescription drug charges. If you have been arrested and charged with the manufacturing, selling, or trafficking of an illegal substance, our team is dedicated to protecting your rights.
• Assault
• Juvenile Crimes
  In many cases where an individual is under age 18, juvenile law comes into effect. In these cases, minors are tried differently than adults, but have the same constitutional right to the representation by an attorney. Juvenile proceedings are often confidential, and criminal records are not typically made public, but they could still impact the child’s future opportunities for employment, military service, and volunteering.
• Identity Theft
• Internet Crimes

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Oxley Law in Findlay, OH, provides effective, compassionate, and aggressive legal representation in personal injury cases. Physical injury may also cause mental trauma, which can impact you for years to come. While we certainly understand that accidents happen, you are entitled to reasonable compensation when injuries occurred due to negligence or wrongdoing of another party. We protect the injured and work tirelessly toward getting what you are owed.
• Medical Malpractice
  As with all personal injury cases, negligence has to be proven in a medical malpractice case. In these cases, a doctor-patient relationship had to be established, and the doctor was negligent which led to injuring the patient. Some of these issues include failure to diagnose, improper treatment, and failure to warn a patient of known risks.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Under Ohio Revised Code Section 955.28(B), a dog owner, keeper, or harborer is liable for any injuries caused by a dog. If the dog’s behavior caused the injury and the injured person did not provoke through teasing, tormenting, or abuse, the injured person may be entitled to compensation.
