The Firm's Main Office
This is Schmanke Law Firm's primary location, located on East Main Street near the Franklin County Courthouse. Clients come to the Union office for estate planning, criminal defense, family law, business and property matters, and other legal needs.
Not every conversation has to happen in the office. Consultations and meetings can also be scheduled by phone or video conference, including for family law matters. This gives clients more flexibility when work, parenting schedules, or other responsibilities make an in-person meeting difficult.
The firm also has an Owensville office available by appointment for clients who prefer to meet farther west.
Legal Services Available at the Union Office
Estate Planning, Probate & Guardianships
Estate planning takes up a good share of the firm's work. That includes wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, along with succession planning for families who own farmland or run a business. Start with the estate planning overview.
The firm also works with executors and families on probate administration after a death, and handles guardianships when someone needs legal authority to make decisions for an adult or child.
Criminal Defense, DWI & Traffic
The firm defends people charged with misdemeanors and felonies, including bond and probation matters. See criminal defense, DWI defense, or traffic violations for more. It's worth calling before you pay a ticket.
Business, Real Estate & Landlord/Tenant Matters
Business owners come to the firm for company formation, contracts, general advice, and disputes that end up in litigation. More on the business and corporate law page.
Property purchases, sales, title issues, and boundary disputes fall under real estate law. Landlords needing help with leases or evictions can visit the landlord/tenant page.
Workers' Compensation & Personal Injury
A work injury may lead to a workers' compensation claim. Injuries outside the workers' compensation system are handled separately under personal injury.
The firm also handles bankruptcy.
If You're Not Sure What You Need
Plenty of people call without knowing which of these categories fits. That's fine. Describe what happened or what you're trying to get done, and the office will figure out where it belongs and set up the next step.
An attorney oversees every case. Some of your communication may be with a legal assistant, which can help you avoid paying attorney fees for routine questions.
Visiting the Union Office
It helps to bring paperwork connected to your situation. That could be a ticket or court notice, an existing will or trust, a lease or contract, or letters you've received about the matter. None of it needs to be organized, and you don't need to have everything before you reach out.
Serving Union and Nearby Communities
The Union office serves clients from across Franklin County, including Washington, St. Clair, Sullivan, Pacific, Gerald, and New Haven. For people who prefer another location, appointments are also available at the firm's Owensville office.
