The firm is located at 141 East Town St, Suite #102, Columbus, OH 43215 and can be reached at (614) 489-9276.

Question 2

What is a wealth protection attorney and when do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A wealth protection attorney structures your assets — through trusts, entities, and contracts — to legally shield them from lawsuits, creditors, divorce, and excessive taxation. You typically need one once your net worth crosses $500K, when you start a business, after a liquidity event, or when you inherit assets.

Question 3

What kinds of trusts does Oak & Onyx Strategy Group set up?

Accepted Answer

We design revocable living trusts, irrevocable asset protection trusts, dynasty trusts, spendthrift trusts, charitable remainder trusts, special-purpose business trusts, and Ohio Legacy Trusts (Ohio's domestic asset protection trust statute) — selected based on your goals, tax exposure, and risk profile.

Question 4

Do you work with entrepreneurs who are still scaling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A significant portion of our practice is building 'stabilizing systems' for growing businesses: clean entity structures, operating agreements, vendor and client contracts, and governance frameworks that survive a fundraise or acquisition.

Question 5

Where do you serve clients geographically?

Accepted Answer

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, we represent clients across Ohio (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, Akron) and throughout a 1,000-mile radius — Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Nashville, St. Louis, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and across the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic.

Question 6

Are you a law firm or a consulting firm?

Accepted Answer

Oak & Onyx Strategy Group LLC is a strategy and consulting firm run by licensed attorneys. We coordinate with your existing counsel and CPAs, and engage attorney-client representation where appropriate.

Question 7

Do you handle family law?

Accepted Answer

No. We practice across all major civil and business areas except family law. We refer family matters to trusted partners.

Question 8

How much does it cost to work with Oak & Onyx?

Accepted Answer

Most engagements are scoped as flat fees against a defined deliverable (an entity stack, a trust, a contract program). Hourly engagements are reserved for litigation-adjacent work and complex transactions. Initial consultations are private and confidential.

Question 9

Can you help with Ohio Legacy Trusts and domestic asset protection trusts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ohio's Legacy Trust Act lets residents create self-settled spendthrift trusts that protect assets from future creditors after a two-year seasoning period. We design Ohio Legacy Trusts as well as comparable DAPT structures in Nevada, South Dakota, Delaware, and Wyoming.
