Family law is defined by life-changing decisions. Whether you’re getting married, starting or expanding a family, negotiating the financial terms in a divorce or planning to leave a legacy for future generations, the resolution of deeply personal matters is when you most need a trusted adviser. Family law rarely allows for emotional victories, but we understand the emotional aspects of clients’ cases as we strive to preserve both relationships and assets effectively and economically.

At Isaac Wiles, our counsel is distinguished by its team effort. Our five lawyers bring individual strengths and varied experience, including that of a former judge and foster parent, a commercial litigator, a psychology major, a volunteer children’s advocate and a mentor whose legal career spans over half a century. These perspectives—working in concert to serve all clients’ needs in adoptions, custody cases, divorces/ dissolutions and pre-marital planning—set us apart in central Ohio.

In fact, IGS excels at building custom software systems that give internal business partners a competitive advantage. This is done by ensuring that IT practitioners obtain a deep understanding of the business and its needs, and by including business partners in the development process each step of the way. Utilizing two-week Agile sprints allows the team to get quick feedback, meet short- and long-term milestones and, most importantly, tolerate exibility in the process.

The overall company culture encourages employees to do their best, try new things, learn from mistakes and help each other every day. This collaborative environment has allowed IGS’ extremely talented IT team to build systems that predict customer behavior and provide outstanding customer service for various lines of business.

the FaCes oF WeaLth ManaGeMent Adam j. smetzer, cFp®, cpa robert A. mauk, cFp® joseph A. Chornyak, jr., cFp® joseph A. Chornyak, sr., cFp® - Managing partner Shortcuts don’t lead to the best financial planning, and that’s why Chornyak & Associates doesn’t use them.

Developed over 40 years, Chornyak uses proprietary processes and systems to research, analyze, select and monitor recommended investments. With a thorough understanding of each client’s financial picture, Chornyak builds comprehensive planning strategies to help achieve their dreams.

It takes more time to ask lots of questions, gather detailed information and act as a true partner, but Chornyak believes that’s the best way to be sure every financial decision supports their clients’ goals and desires with broad diversification and proper investment allocation. This disciplined approach is based on one simple belief: investors rarely reap above-average returns by taking unnecessary risks.

Chornyak manages close to $900 million in assets for almost 1,000 individuals and businesses nationwide.

The Columbus firm grew its business through referrals from satisfied clients who recommended its customized, comprehensive financial planning to friends and colleagues.
