Congratulations to our very own Colin G. Meeker for being featured with Hope United.
HOPE UNITED is a major organization serving Summit, Stark and Portage Counties, Ohio. Through programs like Breaking Barriers and The Well, HOPE UNITED is working toward safer communities, healthier families and ending the stigma of addiction every day.
Colin G. Meeker serves as legal counsel and vice-president for Hope United. Colin works as an attorney with Blakemore, Meeker, & Bowler, Co. L.P.A. With more than 10 years of experience in the court system, Colin is an accomplished litigator who strives to protect individual’s rights while upholding the rule of law. He prides himself on 24/7/365 service to all his clients.
Colin was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. He graduated from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, John Carroll University and The University of Akron School of Law. When he is not working, Colin and his wife Maria spend time with their four children. Colin coaches his sons in football and is quite the family-man making time with his loved ones, his number one priority.
“Being a part of Hope United is a great honor for me. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with Travis and Shelly Bornstein on a project that will change the way we treat people who are struggling with addiction in Northeast Ohio. As an attorney, I usually see the effects of addiction after someone becomes involved with the criminal justice system. Now, through the efforts of Hope United, I get to see positive change first-hand. Those who need help receive it, not from an organization that desires profit, but from a group of people dedicated to ending the stigma of addiction and treating people with the respect they deserve. I thank Hope United for everything they have done so far; I certainly know that the best is yet to come.”
Thank you, Colin, for all you do for Hope United and for helping us STAND UNITED to fight addiction!!
