DVLawyers AI Summary:
Ohio Lawyers Give Back (OLGB) is a unique initiative founded by a partner at Dworken & Bernstein L.P.A. that focuses on redirecting unclaimed settlement funds from class action lawsuits to charitable organizations. Their mission emphasizes community impact by utilizing the Cy Pres doctrine, which ensures that leftover funds are allocated to causes that serve the needs of local communities. OLGB has successfully distributed over $50 million to more than 200 charities, reflecting their commitment to not only legal advocacy but also social responsibility. The tone of the firm is warm and community-oriented, highlighting their dedication to making a meaningful difference through philanthropy. They approach their work with a sense of empathy, understanding that the funds redirected to charities can create a profound impact on the lives of individuals, especially those affected by social issues, including domestic violence, health services, and more. For survivors of domestic abuse, while OLGB primarily focuses on charitable distributions rather than direct legal representation in domestic violence cases, their engagement with charities serving vulnerable populations may provide important resources and support. If you are seeking legal assistance specifically for issues like custody or restraining orders, it may be beneficial to look for a firm that specializes in family law or domestic violence. However, if you are looking for a law firm that embodies a spirit of giving back and community involvement, OLGB could be a supportive partner in connecting with resources that aid survivors.

"Unprofessional, only worried about her next glass of wine. Truly can't believe she has a license to practice law with the way she acts and behaves. If you want to lose money, your case, and be treated poorly, pick Anna"

"Anna Parise was my custodial attorney during my divorce. Despite my son thriving academically—earning straight A’s while living with me—Ms. Parise recommended that he be placed with his father. Since that decision, his grades have plummeted, and he is now failing all of his classes. As a mother, I have fought tirelessly to support my son’s education, but since he now lives out of state, I can no longer meet with his teachers or provide the direct help he once had. Ms. Parise’s recommendation has completely disrupted his academic success and well-being. The court trusted her judgment, yet the outcome has been devastating for my child. This is a clear failure of the system, and I would not recommend her to anyone seeking a fair and thoughtful advocate for their children’s best interests."
