James Lee Lane

Jim brings nearly 20 years of experience to his work in domestic relations and family law, serving hundreds of families on matters such as divorce, child custody, dissolution, alimony and child support issues, juvenile court proceedings for unwed parents, prenuptial agreements and adoptions. Jim’s work often involves complex cases marked by high conflict and emotion, so he is valued by his clients for his empathy, listening skills and his ability to help them clearly understand the process. Whenever possible, he pursues amicable resolution out of court, but Jim also is known as a fierce and dogged advocate for his clients when litigation is necessary to protect their parental and property rights. Jim is one of only a few attorneys in Ohio to receive the designation of Certified Family Relations Law Specialist by the Ohio State Bar Association. He is married with two young boys, and his own experience with fatherhood has further enhanced his understanding of the struggles his clients face, especially in cases involving child custody. “I have been drawn to family law because of how personal the issues are. I know that the issues involved will have a profound effect on a family’s day-to-day life. This knowledge motivates me to fight relentlessly for each client and the positive outcome they’re seeking.” – James L.
