Community Resources

“OCHR.org was a destination of hope for me and my child custody case. Jake & Greg supported me by directing me to the best-qualified resources available. And they made themselves available by Zoom when I asked for extra attention. Family Law cases can be overwhelmingly expensive. OCHR.org and the information available helped me discover ways to decrease the cost of legal aid. I discovered a pathway to hope and also engaged with a network of support through additional resources they identified for me. Thank you Greg and Jake for helping me reunite with my daughter.”
