Overview
Robert L. Caplan is an experienced Columbus bankruptcy and family law attorney who has helped individuals central Ohio families for more than 15 years. I help people file for debt relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
Bankruptcy is a federal law allowing individuals to discharge his or her liabilities and get a fresh start. Debt relief is only a phone call away. Here is how to get started.
By filing a bankruptcy you can:
- Stop harassing phone calls
- Stop garnishments
- Stop lawsuits and prevent the filing of new ones
- Stop bank account attachments
- Stop collection activities
- Discharge debts such as credit cards, medical bills and others
- Prevent the shutoff of utilities and discharge utility arrearages
Provided you qualify, there are two types of consumer bankruptcies that individuals and families can file. One is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the other is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
Family law is any case dealing with divorce, uncontested divorce, dissolution, child custody or visitation. I am an experience lawyer who can guide you through the process for a reasonable price. I can help people who:
- Need a Court order to establish rules
- Have lived separate and apart and need to "make it official"
- Don't think they can afford to get divorced
- Believe they can only get divorced if their spouse goes to court

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.
