Jackson, DeMarco Expands Offices to 50,000 SF
Headline News
The law firm of Jackson, DeMarco, Tidus, Petersen and Peckenpaugh has restructured and extended the lease on its headquarters at 2030 Main St., according to Studley. The law firm, which formerly occupied 34,358 sf in the building on a lease that began in 2002, has expanded to 50,773 sf and extended its lease by nine years.
Jackson DeMarco was represented by Studley's Royce Sharf, branch manager and executive vice president; Bruce Schuman, senior vice president, and Mike Props, managing director, all from Studley's Orange County office. Sharf and Props represented the firm on its original lease at the same location in 2002.
The law firm recently added 12 attorneys when it expanded its complex litigation practice, according to Sharf. "Maintaining the firm's ability to remain flexible and align its real estate occupancy needs with the business plan has been of paramount importance,” he adds.
The Studley brokers tell GlobeSt.com that Jackson DeMarco wanted to restructure its lease because the firm continues to grow and needed to lock down future expansion space. The deal allows the firm to grow in stages over the next couple years.
Terms of the new lease were not disclosed. Asking rates for space in the 2030 Main St. building, a 16-story tower of nearly 347,000 sf that was built in 1990, are $3.30 per sf per month.
The building's owner, the State Teachers Retirement Board of Ohio, was represented by CBRE's John Weiner in the new lease with Jackson DeMarco. The law firm also maintains an office in Westlake village.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
