Updated: 12/31/2024

Lebanon Family Law Lawyer

Overview

Juliette Gaffney Dame is an experienced family law attorney dedicated to working with parties as they navigate through the foreign and emotional process of divorce, dissolution and custody. In this highly personal process, Juliette works to educate her clients on a multitude of options from mediation to settlement conferences to Guardian Ad Litems, with the absolute last option being litigation. Juliette is a trained mediator and former Guardian ad Litem herself so she knows the benefits of keeping a case out of the courtroom and children, especially, as far away from the contentious process. Juliette tries to put the parties more in control of the ultimate outcome. However, as a former prosecutor, Juliette is not one to shy away from taking a case to trial if that is the best option. As she will tell you in the initial consultation, "Each case is unique." While most cases will resolve by agreement, a very few will go to trial and you always have to have someone that is a ready and zealous advocate for you and your children when that day comes. Juliette is trained in alternatives such as mediation and collaborative law and has a strong history of successfully complex end of marriage separation cases.

Juliette is an active member of the Cincinnati Collaborative Group which works together with financial and mental health professionals through a team-based approach to end the parties’ marriage based on goals and interests rather than through litigation.

Away from her practice, Juliette enjoys photograph and running and watching her kids in whatever sports they have taken up, camera in hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars

I hired Juliette Gaffney Dame to handle my divorce. I could not have been happier. She was professional, very knowledgeable, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Her and her staff were very prompt anytime I had any questions. This was my only divorce so I had a lot of questions. Hire her! You won't be disappointed!

Juliette Dame is the most incompetent attorney EVER. She didn’t gain one thing for me. She didn’t know her own profession, or Ohio laws. She is rude, belligerent, and a black stain on the Legal profession. She should be a criminal attorney.

Juliette was always prompt, prepared, and professional. I was always comfortable discussing what was important to me. She listened, heard what was important to me, and delivered.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
