Simon Johnson

Simon Johnson is an Ohio family law attorney who serves families in Geauga and Cuyahoga counties through the Law Office of Simon W. Johnson. His practice emphasizes divorce, child custody, child support, shared parenting, and property division. He also offers mediation and collaborative law services to people seeking ways to resolve family conflict outside court. His approach gives careful attention to the continuing relationships between parents, children, and other family members after legal proceedings end.

Simon earned a B.A. in History from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2003 and a J.D. from Cleveland State University in 2009. He is admitted to practice in Ohio. His legal education prepared him for research, negotiation, and court advocacy, and he developed further practical experience working in law offices while attending law school. He uses that training to explain how custody orders, support obligations, and property arrangements can affect families over time.

Simon handles contested divorce, dissolution, legal separation, prenuptial agreements, and matters involving custody, visitation, and parenting plans. His practice also addresses legal needs of LGBTQIA families and families with neurodiverse children. He considers mediation and collaborative methods when parents can work toward agreements on caregiving or finances. Where court intervention is necessary, he represents clients in disputes over parental responsibilities, child support, and the allocation of marital property.

Simon Johnson focuses on finding workable legal arrangements rather than treating every family disagreement as a contest. He encourages clients to consider negotiation and mediation before litigation when that approach can protect their interests. His work addresses the needs of children while helping adults understand the financial and practical consequences of proposed agreements. Through family law representation and dispute resolution, he helps clients make informed choices about the next stage of their lives.
