For over fifty years, the Akron law firm of Perantinides & Nolan has fought for the rights of the injured across Northeast Ohio. However, our dedication to justice extends far beyond the walls of the courtroom. Recently, our founding partner, Paul Perantinides, was featured by Community Legal Aid to discuss the crucial role that legal professionals play in supporting access to justice for the most vulnerable members of our community.
A Legacy of Giving: Leading Local Support Since the 1990's
Community Legal Aid provides free civil legal services to individuals and families who cannot afford representation. Their dedicated attorneys handle life-changing, high-stakes cases, helping people navigate crises such as evictions, domestic violence, and bankruptcy.
Recognizing the immense burden these advocates carry and the vital service they provide to Summit County and the surrounding regions, Perantinides & Nolan has made supporting their mission a cornerstone of our firm’s culture. Driven by a deep commitment to our neighbors, Perantinides & Nolan has proudly been the leading local firm annual contributor to Community Legal Aid since the 1990s.
Translating Success into Significance
In his feature with Community Legal Aid, Paul Perantinides emphasized that a successful legal career must be paired with a commitment to public service.
“It’s not enough to have a successful practice,” Paul shared in the article. “We should all give of our talent and treasure, recognizing that the lawyers at legal aid have enormous caseloads and are totally under the radar... One pillar in our firm is that we have an obligation to translate our success into significance.”
As lawyers, we hold a unique position to enact change. When vulnerable individuals face complex legal systems without guidance, the results can be devastating for families and the community at large. By financially supporting Community Legal Aid, we help ensure that these cases are placed in the competent, compassionate hands of Legal Aid attorneys.
A Call to the Northeast Ohio Legal Community
“We’re all ambassadors of our profession,” Paul noted, encouraging his peers across the Ohio legal landscape to get involved. “If we can’t give of our time or talent, we should give of our treasure.”
Perantinides & Nolan invites other local law firms, attorneys, and community members to join us in supporting this incredible organization. Whether you choose to take on a pro bono case, volunteer your time, or make a financial contribution, every effort helps build a fairer, more equitable justice system for all.
