“As a former Franklin County Municipal Court Judge, I became keenly aware of the need for Legal Aid services in our community. I have been an outspoken supporter of their services since then as a Member of Congress and as a board member. The dedicated work done by this organization is a bargain. They will always be on my ‘give-to’ list”.
