The Court of Appeals sided with Erb and the mother's argument, reversing the previous decision.

Attorney Thomas Erb successfully represented a mother in a custody appeal that spanned Ohio and Louisiana and involved severe abuse allegations. The appeal was filed in the Court of Appeals of Ohio, Ninth District, Medina County.
