Firm Overview
Founding partner Eric R. Laubacher began his Ohio family law practice in 1999 after earning his law degree from the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Mr. Laubacher is a graduate of the American Bar Association Domestic Relations Litigation Institute. He is routinely appointed by Ohio family law courts to protect the interests of children in divorce cases through the guardian ad litemproject. He is a past nominee for "guardian ad litem of the year." His work on behalf of children in the divorce process has deeply influenced our Greater Cleveland family law practice. "We're a very child-centric law practice," he says, as demonstrated by the law firm's motto: "protecting you and your children's future." The Ohio child custody attorneys at Laubacher & Co. never forget that children are the ones most deeply affected by divorce.
Ohio child custody and divorce cases often include a host of additional issues. Our clients benefit from our attorneys' wide range of legal knowledge and diverse backgrounds. Mr. Laubacher's business background and extensive knowledge of real estate valuation is a valuable asset in cases of marital property division that include large estates or family-owned businesses. Mr. Laubacher resides in Rocky River, Ohio.
