Biography
I have been practicing law since 1993 and have owned Daniel F. Gigiano Co., L.P.A. since 2002. My practice offers vigorous and seasoned legal representation in various areas including family law (divorce, child custody, post-decree divorce), criminal defense, juvenile law, personal injury, and estate planning. My diverse practice allows me to cater to all the legal needs of my clients. By establishing a trusted relationship with my clients, I become a valuable resource for them in a significant way: if a client has a legal need that I do not handle, I assist my clients in finding other qualified attorneys to address that specific legal issue.

Legal Answers
4 Questions Answered
- Q. At what age can a minor decide the custody of themselves?
- A: There is no set age. At some point, minor children begin to possess the maturity to intelligently make such decisions based on relevant reasons. Younger children may make such decisions based on arbitrary reasons such as who will give them more ice cream or out of fear of rejecting a parent. An older child may consider which parent is more likely to ensure that they regularly attend athletic and other extracurricular activities, which parent may provide consistent wholesome meals, and a more pleasant home life. Of course, even older children can be swayed by material things and fear. This is why it is a good idea to have a guardian ad litem appointed to the child, who can learn the child's ... Read More
- Q. I refused breathalyzer and got hit with one year als for refusal. Is it possible to reduce it to 6 months?
- A: The ALS is for one year. However, once one pleas guilty or no contest to or is found guilty of DUI/OVI, the judge cancels the ALS suspension and can impose as little as six months license suspension. The judge could impose more than one year, too. My experience is that many judges simply impose a six month license suspension.
I noticed that you are from Michigan. These suspensions apply to people with Ohio driver's licenses. Out of state driver's licenses can wind up being subject to the license sanctions in Ohio plus their own state.

- Q. Can a creditor attempt to collect a debt that was filed as "Avoid lien using 11 USC 522 (f) after a Ch. 7 discharge?
- A: You should send them a copy of your bankruptcy discharge notice. The creditor's attorney may only be looking in Ohio federal courts, instead of the national database. If they continue to pursue you after sending them the notice, you may be entitled to damages for violation of your rights acquired through bankruptcy. One possible exception is if they are pursuing their lien rights. If you properly avoided the lien, they lost that right. If not, they may still be permitted to pursue that, and only that, remedy.
