Legal Aid Auglaize County Ohio

We provide free and comprehensive civil legal assistance to overcome a variety of major social and legal barriers. For example, we help prevent homelessness, break free from family violence, provide access to health and income services, and overcome barriers to employment. By solving the legal problems of the most vulnerable people in our community, we help them achieve greater economic and family stability. Legal aid ensures access to the justice system for everyone, not just those who can afford it. Our mission is to solve the serious legal problems faced by low-income people, promote economic and family stability, and reduce poverty through effective legal aid. The Public Defense Attorney`s Office currently operates with a team of two Assistant Public Defense Attorneys, Attorney Rob C. Wiesenmayer, II, and James F. Hearn, Jr., an Office Manager/Paralegal, Mandy Crowell, a Legal Secretary, Paula Yahl, and a Receptionist Kaitlan Jones. In addition, the Public Defender`s Office is supported from time to time by interns from regional law schools, paralegals, high schools and community programs.

LAWO provides legal assistance in civil (non-criminal) cases that protect the rights of individuals and promote systemic change in the areas of civil rights and poverty law. We worked quickly to pursue legal assistance and provide people in crisis – virtually – with information about legal claims. Our approach is two-pronged: helping individuals resolve issues on a case-by-case basis and using legal defence to improve systems, often by forming collaborative service and advocacy projects with other staffing service organizations. Legal Aid also takes the initiative to coordinate its services with other non-profit and government organizations, develop innovative programs, and promote legal education in the community.
