Welcome To Mahaffey & Associates, LLC

Who Are Mahaffey And Associates?

Mahaffey and Associates is the law firm of Principal Attorney Ty S. Mahaffey. Attorney Mahaffey is a native Ohioan who grew up in Niles, OH and Warren, OH, and made his home in Toledo for many years, ultimately graduating from the University of Toledo College of Law. In 2003, he went into private practice and opened the first Mahaffey and Associates office in Sylvania, serving the northwest Ohio community. He was later joined by Associate Attorney Jennifer L. Fogle, a bankruptcy specialist focused on helping people through difficult times in their lives. They have since opened secondary practices in Toledo and Northwood, and offer federal representation to residents of southeast Michigan.

Attorneys Mahaffey and Attorney Fogle have the expertise and experience necessary to get results for their clients. What’s more, they are a community-based practice committed to treating their clients like family. They understand the leap of faith that clients take when they entrust their personal, sensitive legal matters to an attorney, and they therefore go above and beyond to earn that trust.

What Can Mahaffey And Associates Do For Me?

Mahaffey and Associates is a full-service law practice that offers representation in a wide range of legal matters.

• Criminal Defense: We strongly believe in defending the rights of our clients, and in fighting to protect their freedom. We have extensive criminal defense experience, having defended both adult and juvenile offenders in the Toledo, Sylvania, Northwood, and greater northwest Ohio area. No criminal case is too small or too serious. Our areas of focus include:
  • Drug charges, including possession, possession with intent to sell, distribution, and trafficking
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Juvenile offenses
  • Shoplifting and petty theft
  • Burglary, robbery, and larceny
  • Assault, battery, and aggravated assault and battery
  • Probation and parole violations
  • Criminal sexual conduct, sexual assault, and rape
  • Internet solicitation, child pornography, and other digital crimes

  • Traffic offenses and license suspensions/revocations
  • Underage drinking
  • Expungement and sealing of records

• Family Law: We provide supportive, empathetic representation in family law matters. We know that family law cases can be sensitive, difficult, and complex, both emotionally and logistically. Whatever the needs of your family law case may be, we work hard to fight for your best interests firmly but respectfully. Our areas of focus in family law include:
  • Divorce and separation
  • Spousal support (sometimes called “alimony”)
  • Property and asset division
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Child support
  • Paternity actions
  • Termination of parental rights
  • Grandparents’ rights
  • Adoption

• Elder Law: The population of older Americans is larger than ever, and so is the need for legal services that address the unique needs and issues facing older people, as well as their adult children, loved ones, and caretakers. Elder law is an umbrella term for laws that primarily affect the lives and address the needs of older Americans. It includes areas of law that address emergency situations and areas of law that seek to prevent those situations from occurring in the first place through careful preventative planning. Our elder law services include:
  • Nursing home, assisted living, and long-term care planning
  • Guardianship and conservatorship arrangements and proceedings, for cases where a person is no longer able to manage their own affairs and needs assistance.
  • Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security guidance
  • Veterans Affairs benefits administration, for military veterans
  • Elder abuse cases (including physical, emotional, medical, neglect-based, or financial abuse)

At Mahaffey and Associates, we are committed to making the best case possible on behalf of our clients, and to going the extra mile to get them the outcomes they deserve. This even extends to our hours of operation. We know that legal troubles don’t just happen 9-5, Monday-Friday, and that most people don’t have time to sit down with an attorney during the work week. That’s why we offer evening and weekend consultations upon request at our three convenient locations in Sylvania, Toledo, and Northwood.
