Attorney Thomas Erb is dedicated to helping families in and around Medina, Ohio. Domestic law cases are the only ones he handles, and he does them exceptionally well. Tom takes the high net-worth and international divorces other firms are intimidated by. And with an impressive courtroom reputation and record to back it up, he’ll explain what’ll work in your family law case.
ERB Legal builds relationships with our clients. From day one, we’ll offer the honest advice you need:
Let’s discuss your situation and the issues affecting your family. Some things are pretty cut and dry, and we’ll tell you so. But if we can make a positive impact on your family, we’ll be there every step of the way.
Sometimes things get out of hand long before lawyers get involved. Often, just by bringing the sides together, we can get a fair outcome and put it all to rest. While we pursue every amicable avenue possible, that doesn’t mean we’ll ever let you be taken advantage of.
Most family cases don’t go to trial, but talks sometimes break down, and judges often need to weigh in. In these cases, we leave no stone unearthed in how we protect you.
This strategy lets us anticipate the other side’s moves and see opportunities to resolve things in your favor. Plus, when the other side knows you’re not afraid of a fight, making peace becomes very appealing.

Tom takes your case as seriously as you do. Whether it’s a complicated divorce or an awkward custody issue, his skill and knowledge about family law in Medina County will be invaluable. When your family’s future is on the line, it could make all the difference.
If you want the court to consider an issue, it must be brought to the court’s attention by filing an official Motion with the Medina County Clerk of Court. This is a written request for a result, such as a reduction in child support with an explanation of your reasons. The Court can’t and won’t consider motions in telephone calls, emails, or letters.
Due to the complexity and sensitive nature of domestic law issues, it’s best to consult with an experienced family attorney before filing any motion.
Depending on the type of family court motion, there may also be a filing fee or additional forms required.
Once the parties have been served, your court date will be scheduled. On the date of your hearing, the Court will hear your argument but cannot tell you how to prepare or what to say. If your case is not presented according to the official rules, your case could end before it begins.
You should always work with a lawyer who can guide you through the local family court process.
Medina Family Court Etiquette:
Coping with drastic changes in a family is difficult. Therefore, various court-sanctioned services are offered to Medina County families at no or low cost:
It’s not required, but if you have any documents about what your family is going through, we’ll gladly review them. It’s important not to stress out too much about the first meeting. We’ll just talk about what’s going on, what you’d like to accomplish, and whether or not we can provide the help you’re looking for.
We have regular business hours, but our call service operates 24 hours, and we’re sticklers about returning calls right away. If you’re already a client, you likely have our cell number, and we are happy to return a text or email when something comes up.
Most family law issues get resolved outside of the courtroom. However, we do sometimes need to appear before a judge. Clients aren’t always required to attend, but you’ll know well in advance if that’s the case.
Every case is different, and the cost typically depends on the complexity of your situation. However, we keep our fees reasonable and do everything in our power to keep costs down precisely because we know the strain involved with some issues. We also offer financing options.
Erb Legal is the complete package for high-caliber family law representation in the Medina, Brunswick, and Wayne County region.
