Family Law Attorneys

Emily M. Desantis, ESQ, Founder & Owner at Desantis Family Law
I have focused my practice entirely on Family Law since 2013. In addition to being a lawyer, I am a mother to five children, a divorcee, a wife, a child advocate, and a passionate business owner and entrepreneur. I enjoy developing relationships with various local professionals in our community who often play a significant role in the outcome of family law matters. By maintaining relationships with local experts such as co-parenting counselors, forensic accountants, judicial officers, mediators, and child custody evaluators, I firmly believe that my clients benefit from a more holistic approach to legal problem-solving.
My practice of family law is guided by my own experience with the legal system.
When I was a child, I was the victim of violence and dealt with the legal process as a teenager. It was stressful, intimidating, and confusing. It felt as if procedure triumphed over substance. I don’t want you to feel that way, ever. It’s disempowering and unproductive. It leaves you exhausted instead of ready to embark on a fresh start. My style is to keep my focus on your family and your issues.
We will assess what your needs are and tailor our services to maximize your benefit. We will work together to craft cost-effective resolutions with your goals and intentions in mind. You are the one who knows what is best for you and your family, not me. It is not in my makeup to judge you or your story – in fact, I celebrate diversity and am always up for a good challenge.
I want you to feel well equipped to make informed decisions in your best interest – whether that means negotiating an agreement or pushing the matter through trial. Whatever path we take, I am most proud when a client can look back at his or her experience with me and my firm and feel that they have been well advised, represented, and supported.

Joseph T. Ireland, Managing Partner at Russell & Ireland Law Group, LLC
Practicing in Kentucky & Ohio
My name is Joseph Ireland. I am one of the firm's managing partners. Since my first year of law school, I knew I wanted to be a trial attorney. I am proud to say I followed my passion and have never given up my drive to become one of the best attorneys in my field.
On my journey, I have been fortunate to gain more courtroom experience than most will ever see. I started off working in a high-volume plaintiff's personal injury firm, it was baptism by fire. Eventually, my career took me to a firm that specialized in complex litigation all across the country. Many of the cases I worked had catastrophic damages and involved cutting edge legal issues against the best litigators in the country.
In 2010, I decided it was time to open my own firm and begin building my own local practice. That decision has been deeply rewarding and provided me the opportunity to represent more than 1,000 minors and their families. Today, Russell & Ireland Law Group, LLC has grown into a highly successful litigation firm that is proud of the way it helps its clients and community.
When I am not representing clients, I enjoy hiking, camping, and soccer. I volunteer as a soccer coach for the YMCA and can never say no to a home improvement project.
