Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of cases does the New Albany Mayor’s Court hear?

The New Albany Mayor’s Court handles only misdemeanor offenses occurring within city limits — traffic, ordinance violations, and minor criminal matters. The court meets each Wednesday at the Village Hall, 99 West Main Street. Felonies and contested civil matters are transferred to the Franklin County Municipal Court or Court of Common Pleas in Columbus.

Is New Albany in Franklin or Licking County?

Both. New Albany straddles the county line, with most of the city in Franklin County and portions extending into Licking County. The county where your property or matter sits determines which Court of Common Pleas hears the case. The firm handles filings in both counties.

What does basic estate planning cost in central Ohio?

Simple will packages — including a will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directive — are typically flat-fee. Trust-based plans cost more but offer probate avoidance benefits. Written fee quotes are provided after the initial consultation, before any work begins.
