We also help with estate planning and probate, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and estate administration. In addition, we provide criminal defense for misdemeanors, OVI/DUI, and certain felony charges. If you’re unsure where your situation fits, a consultation can help clarify your options.
Can one law firm help with divorce, wills, and criminal defense in Belmont County?
Yes—our practice covers these areas so local families can get guidance without starting from scratch with multiple offices. Having one trusted legal team can reduce stress when issues overlap or when life changes happen quickly. During a consultation, we’ll focus on your immediate needs and explain how the process works in your specific matter. If your situation requires a different type of representation, we’ll tell you that early so you can make the right next move.
Do you only serve St. Clairsville, or can you help clients in nearby areas?
Our office is in St. Clairsville, and we serve clients throughout Belmont County and nearby Eastern Ohio communities.

We aim to keep legal help convenient and local whenever possible.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Bring any paperwork you’ve received that relates to your issue, such as court filings, police reports, bond paperwork, prior orders, agreements, or letters. If your concern involves family law, a basic timeline and key dates can be very helpful, along with any relevant communications. For estate planning, consider bringing a list of assets, key family information, and any existing documents you may already have. Even if you don’t have everything, don’t wait—bring what you can, and we’ll tell you what else is needed.
How will you keep me informed during my case?
We prioritize clear, consistent communication so you understand what’s happening and why. You’ll know what the next steps are, what decisions need to be made, and what timelines to expect whenever possible. We explain your options in plain English and make room for questions, because confidence comes from understanding. If something changes, you won’t be left guessing—we’ll talk through what it means and how to respond.
"Stephen is an asset to our company. He skillfully reviews and negotiates multimillion-dollar contracts, he artfully drafts subcontracts and leases, and he has successfully represented us in court and before municipal boards. He is an accomplished lawyer that is always there when we need him. He is our confidant and friend."
Furino & Sons Inc. (Brothers Four)
"It is truly our pleasure to recommend Stephen to any individual or corporation looking for highly skilled legal counsel. He has represented us on a variety of corporate legal matters and he is a master with both contract and lease negotiations, always offering exceptional strategic advice. More recently, he represented us in front of the Township Planning Board and helped us achieve our desired results when it seemed impossible. We highly endorse Stephen both personally and professionally."
HEC Holding Co., LLC
"Stephen has successfully represented our company’s interests in several matters involving intricate fact patterns and novel legal theories. In one, a particularly aggressive plaintiff was convinced by Stephen to voluntarily dismiss a lawsuit in which it sought significant monetary damages. These favorable outcomes have resulted from Stephen’s thorough and careful review of all facts and circumstances and his dedication to the best interests of his client. In every matter in which we have retained Stephen he has sought to obtain the best possible result in the shortest possible time. We recommend Stephen without reservation."
