Allen Tittle loves serving his community — both inside and outside of the courtroom. He grew up in Ohio, went to law school in Ohio, and now serves the people of Ohio, both as an attorney and as a passionate volunteer.

Allen says “there’s no better feeling” than being able to positively impact the lives of people you grew up with. But why is community so important for Allen, and why should it be one of your core principles as a law firm?

Let’s start with the community inside your firm — your employees. When you invest in the people on your team, you’re building a strong culture and helping your firm (and your people) grow.

What about your greater community? Of course, giving back to your community helps build your firm’s image and reputation — but that shouldn’t be the main reason for your service. Partnering with local organizations can help you build empathy and connect with those around you.

One of the charities that Allen and his firm work with is called HansonHouse, which helps care for people with traumatic brain injuries…an area that hits close to home for a personal injury law firm. Through this work, Allen and his team are able to uplift people in their neighborhood. After all, it takes a village to create a strong community.
