Juliette Gaffney Dame

Founding The Law Office of Juliette Gaffney Dame, attorney Juliette Gaffney Dame bases her practice in Warren County, as well as across Cincinnati and Lebanon in Ohio. Concentrating on family law, she has a profound commitment to assisting clients through the complex and often emotional journey of divorce, dissolution and custody. Her practice primarily focuses on domestic relations, which encompasses 75% of her work, with the remaining 25% dedicated to juvenile law. With a comprehensive understanding of the sensitive nature of family disputes, she prioritizes educating her clients about the array of available options.

Ms. Dame's approach is informed by her extensive background as a trained mediator and former guardian ad litem, emphasizing the importance of resolving cases outside the courtroom to shield children from the adversarial legal process. She empowers her clients to take a more active role in determining their case outcomes. Nevertheless, leveraging her experience as a former prosecutor, she is well-prepared to represent her clients in court when necessary. She firmly believes in the uniqueness of each case, as she often notes during initial consultations, and maintains readiness to robustly advocate for her clients and their children when trial becomes unavoidable.

In addition to her legal practice, Ms. Dame is an active participant in the Cincinnati Collaborative Group, where she collaborates with financial and mental health professionals to resolve marital disputes based on mutual goals and interests. This team-based approach underscores her dedication to finding holistic solutions that consider all aspects of her clients’ well-being.

Ms. Dame holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Dayton School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Drew University, where she was recognized on the dean's list. She was admitted to the Ohio State Bar Association and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Her commitment to excellence in family law has been acknowledged with multiple Client Satisfaction Awards from the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys from 2015 to 2019. She is also awarded a 10.0 rating on Avvo. 

With professional associations with the Ohio State Bar Association and the Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative Professionals, Ms. Dame showcased her broad engagement with the legal community and commitment to continual professional development.
