The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland is sad to share news of the passing of Ivia Hobbs.   Ms. Hobbs worked at The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland since 1970 - for 43 years.

Ms. Hobbs never turned down a project. She worked daily to create better, more efficient and effective systems to make Legal Aid more accessible to clients. She challenged the organization to be multi-culturally competent, providing bilingual and culturally appropriate services to clients. She championed new technologies. Every client she interviews receives thoughtful, respectful services.

Her colleagues will miss her greatly.
