I am very happy and grateful to have Dmitriy and his team help me through a difficult time. I was referred to his law firm by a good friend and I appreciate all of his insight and professionalism throughout the entire process. He is awesome and I will refer all of my friends and family to him in the future!

I had a great experience. I had never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer so I was very nervous going in but he explained everything in a way I understood and put me at ease. Very responsive and timely in communication. 10/10 would recommend and would hire again if needed!

I became a client for Dmitriy and his firm in May of 2023. From the start, Dmitriy and his associates were kind and welcoming at each in-office visit. After sitting through my consultation I knew that this was the firm for me. Dmitriy was clear and consistent in letting me know how he operates cases similar to my own. He broke down many possible scenarios and likelihood of particular situations happening. He was able to take the common jargon he uses and bring it to a level that someone without a law degree would understand. He never made me feel dumb or inferior. He respected the decisions I wanted to make, while helping me to weigh the pros and cons of each choice. He consistently answered phone calls and emails within respectable time frames. He also did an amazing job with keeping up on mass amounts of information that was given to him. He was organized and I was amazed at what he was able to accomplish knowing that I was not the only case he was handling at the time. His staff worked endlessly to ensure that my voice was heard as a client and I have never felt that I was being ignored. In the end, I'm thrilled with how my case turned out and Dmitriy and his staff are to thank. I'm not sure I could have done it without their help and guidance.

They are very good in family divorce cases, very professional, I recommend them.

We are giving the Law Office of Dmitriy Borshchak Five Stars based on their dedication to their clients, pursuit of the truth, and relentless desire to help them. Dmitriy and his office were always responsive to emails and phone calls (this is very rare with family law attorneys...we work with a lot of them). Working together with this law firm was a breath of fresh air, and I would highly recommend this firm to handle divorce and custody matters in Columbus Franklin County and Cleveland Cuyahoga County.

The experience with the Law Office Of Dmitriy Borshchak was very enlightening. Hank S. Was very encouraging and informative about the whole process with my case and I appreciate all of the work done to achieve my goal! THANK YOU!

Lucy Shane was amazing during this whole horrible process. She is strong and resolute, yet has a personality of compassion for her clients' needs. Highly recommend!

Lucy Shane is phenomenal. I came to her seeking guidance with my dissolution that turned into a divorce and nearly a difficult custody battle. She treated me with the utmost kindness, compassion, dignity, and respect, and I felt supported through this very painful time when it seemed like the world was against me. My divorce was granted today and I can't express my relief and gratitude enough. I highly recommend Lucy to anyone going through a divorce. Leigh Tennison is also wonderful. She answered all my questions, helped me with my paperwork, and is just as kind and compassionate. I'm so grateful and blessed to have worked with you both. Thank you for all you do, from the bottom of my heart.

From day one Dmitriy has been all-in on my divorce. He has excellent communication skills and a confident demeanor. Dmitriy uses his extensive experience to understand all aspects of the case (people included) and how to best navigate to reach the end goal. For me this resulted in a fair outcome that I was very pleased with. I highly recommend Dmitriy for your divorce attorney.

Dmitriy has helped me through a very difficult high conflict case. You can tell he genuinely cares & is tenacious with his approach in litigation. I would highly recommend him & his team for family lawyers.

I went through a difficult time during my divorce and child support case, however Hank Sonderman with Dmitriy Borshchak Law Offices calmed me down and worked with me and made the situation better. I recommend him and Dmitriy Borshchak Law Office team to any challenging cases.

I was in a difficult situation when I found Dmitriy. He saved me from a big mess. Dmitriy was professional, kind and always on top of everything. I interacted a lot with Leigh as well. She helped me with all the paperwork and always followed up with things. Dmitry was very reasonable and conservative with my finances. So happy I found him! Best ever! Highly recommend!

I had the great privlage of having Lucy represent myself and my son. I always felt so safe and supported with Lucy. She was always there if I had questions and really fought for what was right. She’s amazing, without a doubt, the best attorney I have ever worked with! She is your go to, the whole firm is amazingly kind and so generous! I can’t say enough great things!!!

Great service! Always responded in a timely manner and were willing to help me in every way possible!

I highly recommend Dmitriy L. Borshchak family attorney. Hank’s expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach made a challenging legal situation more manageable for my family. They were responsive, thorough, and guided me through the process with care. Grateful for their support during a difficult time.

I had such a positive experience and can't thank the office enough for helping me step by step for my divorce. I have already pointed a few friends towards this office for help with legal aid.

Hank and the team at Dmitriy Borshchak Law Office made a huge impact in helping me through a very challenging situation. Hank Sonderman was extremely patient with all of my questions and constantly gave me sound advice. He never quit working for me or with me to ensure that I got an outcome that was in my best interest. I could not be more pleased with their level of professionalism and service.

Hank Sonderman, was great. From the initial phone conversation, I knew I wanted him as my attorney. Hank was very understanding and supportive.

Very friendly and understanding. Did not feel like we were wasting their time. Gave very good advice and were very thorough throughout the case.

I had a phenomenal experience here at Dmitriy Law Office! Henry Sonderman aka "Hank" was representing me for a shared parenting case for my daughter(she moved in with me)! Working with Hank was a breeze! If I would send a message Hank would be calling me back, sending me emails hounding me down to get me answers. This place knows how to value your time and understands your needs. There was another Lady helping named Leigh, and oh my gosh those two working together were a powerhouse! Everything was fast, efficient, and always correct. The other Law office I was using prior to Dmitriys office had taken 6 months to file my docs, and they ended up needing corrections so I knew I had to find another place fast. Once I found Hank over at Dmitirys Office I knew I was in good hands. Hank got my docs filed in just a few days with not one issue. This was the easiest process I have ever had with an attorney. This is the place you should want to represent you 100%! I highly recommend! Thanks again Hank!!!

I’m impressed by Dmitriy Law services, my lawyer is Mr Hank Sonderman, he gives us a good service which is very helpful to me. He is very helpful to me. He is very respectful, polite and helpful when in need and respond me whenever I need him. I appreciate his time and service. Thank you so much Dmitriy Law service Borshchak and the team.

When hiring an attorney, it???s a very scary step. You have to trust a complete stranger to protect, to listen and to do what is best for you. Dmitriy and his team went above and beyond to do just that. Every email, every interaction was intentional with a purpose, a plan based on what I wanted. There were times when I thought I should make a different change from the original plan, but Dmitriy quickly steered me back to why he was directing the conversations with my EX???s attorney a certain way. It was to ultimately protect me. From our very first encounter, I knew he was the right person to hire as my divorce attorney. On top of that he removed all the stress that I had been carrying and he put it on his shoulders. Oy! This was worth it???s weight in gold. I will be forever grateful for getting my life back as I move forward with hope. And just for the record, there really are good attorneys out there that really do care about people.

I highly recommend Dmitriy Borshchak to anyone going through a divorce. He helps navigate you through the process, gives you the information you need to make decisions, and keeps it moving. Thanks Dmitriy

100% recommended, attorney Jonathan Pope is a great family lawyer and professional, he took my case and carefully listened and provided a thorough explanation about the process. After the case was submitted attorney Jonathan Pope kept me posted in every stage of the process and he made sure my child’s interest and mine were covered by efficiently reaching an agreement taht was beneficial for both parties.

Dmitriy is awesome! I entered his office in complete distress and left feeling reassured and confident. He took the time to listen to me, ask detailed and specific questions and give me his professional opinion on the case and expert advice which he tailored to my specific needs. I hired him immediately and felt comforted knowing I had a fantastic lawyer that I could call/text day or night.

I was having hard time finding a good attorney who could speak Russian until I reached out to Dmitriy. He was able to translate and explain to me which made a smooth sailing process for me. They are very professional and polite with their clients. I’d highly recommended their services for everyone.

Best decision I ever made was reaching out to Dmitriy! He was professional, intentional, empathetic and very prompt with all communication with me. I remember him telling me the very first day when I met him, that I was not to be stressed, but all the stress was on his shoulders. Wait what? I truly didn’t understand what that meant. Basically, I put my life into Dmitriy’s hands, trusting his experience, his knowledge and knowing that he only cared about me and nothing else. He really made me feel protected and that is what I needed. When I tell you, he is the best attorney…I mean it from the bottom of my heart. You will not regret hiring this attorney. And just for the record, my stress has been released. Thank you, Dmitriy.

My experience with the Borshchak Law Group has been nothing short of life-changing. I first met Dmitriy in July of 2023. I knew I was headed toward a divorce, but after nearly 40 years of marriage, I was absolutely terrified. I didn't know any divorce attorneys, so I googled "gray divorce lawyer in Columbus." Dmitriy's name and picture popped up, and I immediately liked his name and his face! After reaching out through the website, Leigh responded within minutes and I scheduled the first consultation. As others have said, I was so scared to walk into that office, but by the time I left, I knew I had found a lawyer who would do his absolute best to give me a good outcome.

Hiring Dmitriy Changed Everything! Dmitriy and his team immediately turned things around. He PERSONALLY answered every email and call—though we barely needed to reach out, because he kept us informed before we even had questions. HE knew every detail of our case. HE remembered things we’d forgotten. Dmitriy: “Remember that text you sent months ago where you said X, Y, Z and she replied A, B, and C?” Us: “Uh… no.” Dmitriy: “Don’t worry, I do—and it proves 1, 2, 3.” He laid out clear options for every decision, navigated the mess our previous attorney left, and crafted both short- and long-term strategies. It was like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, except every choice led to: A win A likely win A resolution we were happy with What more could we ask for? I Feel for YOU Right Now. If you’re reading this, you’re at the start of a tough journey. Whether you’re fighting for change, protecting your rights, or seeking what’s best for your family, it’s exhausting. You might feel scared, mad, confused, overwhelmed, or hopeless. We did, too. But that weight lifts the moment you make a choice. Hope replaces fear. That’s what Dmitriy did for us, and he can do it for you. Not only did he make us feel better—he got results. There are many attorneys who will fight for your business, but few who will fight for you. Dmitriy is one of the few who won’t stop until you get the best possible outcome. We can vouch for that.

Amazing! I had a great experience. I had never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer so I was very nervous going in but he explained everything in a way I understood and put me at ease. Very responsive and timely in communication. 10/10 would recommend and would hire again if needed!

Divorce and separation . I became a client for Dmitriy and his firm of 2023. From the start, Dmitriy and his associates were kind and welcoming at each time in their office visit. After sitting through my consultation I knew that this was the firm for me. Dmitriy was clear and consistent in letting me know how healthy in they operate . I received excellent service and assistance from Dmitriy's office. The office was responsive and caring on all my needs. Although I do not have a resolution as yet, Dmitriy is relentless in advising me of all the risks and exposure I have in my case. Henry Sondermon and his office is very thorough and detailed and I would recommend him to any service .

Wouldn’t have done it any other way I became a client for Dmitriy and his firm in May of 2023. From the start, Dmitriy and his associates were kind and welcoming at each in-office visit. After sitting through my consultation I knew that this was the firm for me. Dmitriy was clear and consistent in letting me know how he operates cases similar to my own.

Making tough transitions easier with an experienced divorce attorney

The end of a partnership, especially marriage, is one of the most stressful events you will experience. As you attempt to progress forward with your life, many images and complex issues come to mind that will require your immediate attention. For example, consider how your future single life will turn out, how to divide property, and care arrangements for children (if any). Adjustment to sudden changes will result in various challenging emotions that can affect your judgement. You may be tortured by persistent concerns about whether your steps are the best options in the circumstances. An experienced divorce attorney can provide the advice you need to understand your options and help you make decisions that will benefit you in the future.

Divorce is a stressful and challenging time for both parents and children.

Unless you feel the need to take immediate action for critical reasons such as abuse, it might be worth taking the time to properly educate yourself on what to expect from the divorce process. A considered approach, without emotional decision-making, will help you move forward methodically and rebuild faster.

Think about kids, if they are involved, and your decision’s long-term impact on them. Next, carefully review your finances and housing situation, and decide if counseling could provide an opportunity to address your relationship issues.

Finally, if you decide to proceed and file for a divorce, our Columbus divorce lawyers will work to ease the challenging process and reduce the stress involved. We will walk beside you, providing the support you need while offering a practical resolution. Our experienced family law team will provide your family with comprehensive, honest legal counsel and personal attention to assist you through this challenging process.

Should you consult a divorce attorney in Columbus, Ohio?

Family law attorneys and divorce lawyers are experts in handling divorces and all family law matters that extend beyond marriage ending. In the past, divorce attorneys mainly dealt with marriage dissolutions, particularly helping clients reach decisions regarding issues such as alimony or division of any assets held by the couple.

Today, family law attorneys deal with various disputes, including issues between unmarried parties. Among the family law matters we can assist with:

Child Support
Consider whether or not you need to exchange child support and the amount necessary for supporting your children. Will support be maintained after the child is 18? How do unemployment, retirement, self-employment, and bonuses impact the guidelines around the amount of support? Are there acceptable reasons for deviations from the support guidelines? When and if you can modify your child support arrangements.
Child Custody and Visitation Cases
Who stays with the children and when, where kids attend school, who makes decisions on their well-being, who pays for their covers, as well as other critical decisions touching on children.
Spousal Support
Decisions regarding whether a spousal support award is appropriate. If so, the duration and amount of the support. Adoption- Seeking assistance with the decision to adopt a child or contesting the decision to adopt a child.
Property Division
Who gets awarded what property, what happens to the residence held as a couple, and what happens to joint bank accounts, retirement accounts, and pensions? How is ownership in dividend situations? What happens when one party inappropriately wastes assets or has significant debt?
Annulment
This process cancels a marriage like it never occurred or never legally happened.

Do you and your partner have minor children together? Do you agree on child custody and support?

When a divorce involves parents with children under 18, they must decide on child custody. While there are only two common types of child custody, sole legal custody and joint legal custody, in terms of the rights of parents and the child’s best interests, there are also two other categories under which child custody rights fall, legal and physical.

In most states, the family law courts rule on child custody cases and set arrangements based on the child's best interest. This determination is usually based on factors such as:

Parents must also discuss and agree on child support matters, including who will pay for the support, the amount, and how frequently payments will be made.

When divorcing parents can’t agree on these disputes, they will have to try mediation to reach an agreement or end up in a family court asking the judge to rule over it.

Do you and your partner agree on debts and property division?

Generally, in family law cases, the assets you acquire with your spouse during the marriage are considered marital property and must be divided fairly between you during a divorce.

Marital debts are treated similarly during family law matters and should be divided fairly. However, there are exceptions to debt distribution, when one spouse inappropriately wastes assets without consent or suffers debts that were never for the family’s benefit.

If the two of you have very little debt or property to divide, or if you can reach an agreement regarding marital property, including the value and division, you may be able to handle this part of the divorce yourself. However, if you’re facing a complex divorce and can’t agree or feel like you need some legal help, consulting an experienced family law attorney at the Law Office of Dmitriy Borshchak can help you navigate the process and achieve a successful result in your case.

Should you hire a divorce lawyer, or can you handle the divorce alone?

Once you and your spouse have decided to end your marriage, the next stage is to consider whether you can handle the process independently or need a family law lawyer.

Before deciding if you require a family law lawyer, you’ll need to consider a few other factors:

How well can you negotiate or communicate with the party that will soon no longer be your partner?
Is your situation relatively simple, with no minor children, minimal substantial assets or part of a complex divorce with many legal issues to decide?
How well do you and your partner agree on the matters to be
How will you divide the custody of your minor children?

Who will take responsibility for child support? What is the amount and duration that this will entail?
What about spousal support? How much will it be, and for how long?
If there is any joint property or debts, how will these be divided?
Is domestic violence involved?

You can also opt for mediation as a way to resolve disputes. Other times, spouses realize they have no option but to hire a divorce attorney to guide them through the normal court process.

If you are still deciding which path to take during a divorce, remember that you can consult with an experienced attorney without committing to hiring one.
