About

 "Things don't always work out the way that you planned....You need a lawyer who understands..."   Over 20 years of litigation experience and collaboratively trained in the areas of  Divorce, Dissolution, Child Custody and Child Support. Personal      I was born in India and moved to the U.S. when I was two  years old. I grew up in the CIncinnati area and graduated from Lakota High School in 1986. I played varsity tennis in high school and joined the mock trial team in my sophomore year. I was the plaintiff's attorney each year and our mock trial team went to state finals every year I was on the team. Although the practice of law is not for everyone, I knew very early on that this was my passion. I have never regretted choosing law as my profession.  Legal Training and Experience     I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1989 with a double major in Management and Marketing and from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1992. While in Pittsburgh, I worked for Goldberg, Persky, Jennings & White from 1992 to 1993, focusing on Asbestos Litigation and Workers’ Compensation cases. In 1994, I joined Legal Aid in Missouri as part of their Americorp Project, where I helped develop and establish family mediation programs for child custody and visitation disputes for Legal Aid of Western Missouri. My duties there were to conduct training programs for community groups and students in peer mediation. I also represented victims of domestic violence in dissolutions and protection order hearings.     I moved back to Cincinnati in 1996 to work for Hammond & Associates, establishing a practice in criminal, juvenile, and family law. From 1997 to 1999, I worked in the Guardian ad Litem Division of the Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office representing children of abuse and neglect. In May, 1997 I started my solo practice in Montgomery, Ohio focusing mainly on family and juvenile law and have continued practicing in these areas for almost twenty years. I am currently licensed to practice law in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Missouri.

Mrs. Kotian has been understanding of my child custody case. Her team and herself have been more then helpful and answered multiple questions I have had during the process. Communication is her strong point. Either through phone or email we were able to create and execute a plan. I highly recommend her for any family law cases.

I have used Manisha in the past for consultations on some family law issues I have had in the past. She is great at listening to my concerns and is honest with advise. She is very professional yet approachable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her for any family law issues.

Manisha handled my recent divorce, which included a relatively complicated custody situation. She was personable, professional and diligent. She would promptly return calls and emails. She remembered details of my case each time we spoke, even when it had been several weeks since we last talked; I never felt like just “another client”. She was committed to my case, and made a very stressful time in my life manageable. Additionally, she was prompt, fair and accurate with her billing. Manisha was easy to work with and I highly recommend her!

Manisha has worked with me on multiple occasions involving custody matters and she has always been incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. She has always made sure that I completely understood ALL of my options, did a great job of keeping me informed on what was going on at all times during the process, and I've been more than happy with her results. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
