“As a board member, Laurie demonstrated a strong commitment to providing access to justice for low-income residents of northwest and west central Ohio,” says ABLE Executive Director Joe Tafelski. “We are confident Laurie will help lead efforts to bring more services to eligible residents.”
“My primary objective will be to strongly encourage every attorney to support legal aid-either financially or through pro bono service,” says Pangle.
