Edward F. Whipps & Associates established our central Ohio law firm in 1992 following partnerships for over 30 years in large law firms, including the international firm of Thompson, Hine & Flory.

Edward F. Whipps has built an excellent reputation among lawyers, judges and former clients. He continues to pursue excellence in family law representation and places the well-being of children and families at the center of all that we do — whether we are guiding a client through a high-asset dissolution, working with clients to develop creative parenting time strategies or exploring the critical role that psychology plays in divorce.

Mr. Whipps has become well known not only as a capable and effective matrimonial lawyer, but also as an active bar and community leader. He has served as the president of the Ohio Board of Psychology, the Upper Arlington Board of Education and the Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce, and as chair of several committees of the Columbus Bar Association and the Franklin County Trial Lawyers Association. He was a founder, trustee and president of the non-profit corporations, Creative Living Inc. and Unverferth House. He is listed in the family law section of the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and in Who's Who in America.

Although admitted to the Ohio bar in 2010, associate attorney Jessica M. Lahmon already has almost 10 years of experience working with Mr. Whipps on domestic relations cases. She began working for Edward F. Whipps & Associates in 2003 and joined our firm as a full associate in 2010.

In July 2000, Bobbie Corley O'Keefe joined our law firm and currently serves as of counsel. Ms. O'Keefe is an effective matrimonial lawyer as well as being an approved Franklin County Domestic Relations Court divorce mediator. She is active in various charitable and religious organizations and is a frequent speaker regarding international adoption.
