In a recent interview with The Bottom Line, Thomas Erb of Erb Legal LLC shared why hiring an attorney with experience in family law is essential, and what clients should be looking for when navigating some of the most emotional legal situations of their lives.
Family law is a unique legal field. It touches on deeply personal aspects of life—relationships, parenting, finances—and it often requires swift yet thoughtful action. According to Thomas Erb, clients need more than just legal knowledge. They need an attorney who understands the complex emotional dynamics involved and who knows how to navigate local courts, judges, and procedures effectively.
“Experience isn’t just about knowing the law,” Erb explains in his interview with The Bottom Line. “It’s about understanding how things work in practice—how certain judges tend to rule, how to negotiate effectively, and how to keep families from unnecessary conflict. That only comes from years of handling these cases day in and day out.”
Erb Legal LLC, based in Northeast Ohio, has built a reputation for providing strategic, compassionate representation in all areas of family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, and high-asset property division.
Hiring a family law attorney isn’t a decision to take lightly. In his latest interview with The Bottom Line, Thomas Erb says there are four key qualities to look for when selecting legal representation in a family matter:
Not all attorneys practice family law regularly. You want someone who focuses specifically on family-related issues and has a strong track record of helping clients in similar situations. A lawyer who’s familiar with Ohio’s domestic relations courts and has experience working with local judges and mediators can give you a strategic edge.
In any legal case, especially in family law, communication is key. You need an attorney who is responsive, clear, and able to explain complex legal matters in a way you can understand. Your lawyer should keep you informed throughout your case and help you make confident, informed decisions.
Family law often involves children, long-standing relationships, and emotional trauma. An experienced attorney should not only be a fierce advocate but also a source of stability. According to Erb, a great family lawyer knows when to push and when to encourage compromise. They help clients stay focused on long-term goals, not just short-term victories.
No two families are alike, and no two family law cases should be handled the same way. Whether you’re pursuing custody rights, working through property division, or modifying an existing court order, a skilled attorney will tailor their legal strategy to suit your needs, priorities, and unique family dynamics.
