Tomlinson Zisko to disband after nearly 25 years

Law Firm News

The firm's co-founders, William Zisko and Timothy Tomlinson, said they are joining the East Palo Alto office of Greenberg Traurig LLP, which has grown its Silicon Valley office to 43 lawyers since opening in 2004.

Tomlinson Zisko has three other lawyers, all of whom said they are joining other law firms in the area.  Tomlinson Zisko had as many as 20 lawyers at its peak in 2000. But retirements and defections reduced the firm's headcount to five today.

Tomlinson said the firm's dissolution is "amicable. We just reached too small a size to serve our clients' needs ... It was a great run."  The firm advised clients on matters involving corporate finance, securities, intellectual property, litigation, tax and real estate.

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.
