We are saddened to learn of the passing of former AppalReD Legal Aid attorney and pro bono volunteer Maxine Grossinger.

Maxine dedicated her life to serving others. During her time with AppalReD Legal Aid and throughout many years as a pro bono volunteer, she brought and an unwavering commitment to justice for children, families, and vulnerable adults. She generously served as a guardian ad litem, advocating for children and adults with special needs who needed a strong voice in difficult circumstances.

Maxine had a big heart and a deep belief that everyone deserves dignity, fairness, and access to justice. We extend our heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved her.

As requested in her obituary, those wishing to honor Maxine's memory may make a memorial gift to AppalReD Legal Aid: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/genedonatfor/

Congratulations to Michelle Fisher on 10 years with AppalReD Legal Aid! 🎉

Michelle is a steadfast advocate for domestic violence survivors and survivors of child abuse in our Somerset office. Through some of the most difficult moments in our clients' lives, she has helped them find safety, stability, and hope for the future.

When asked what she loves most about her work, Michelle shared:

“My favorite thing about working at AppalReD is that I have an opportunity to speak life into people who are spiritually dead—beaten down, feeling worthless, and ready to give up. You don’t have to be an attorney to do that, but I do. This is my calling. My work does not involve getting folks tens of thousands of dollars, but I hope when their case is finished, they feel like they are worth that. I can’t change the whole world, but I can invest in the people in my own backyard like my community depends on it, because it does.”

Thank you, Michelle, for 10 years of compassionate advocacy, unwavering dedication, and life-changing service. We are grateful for all you do!

5 Spots Left!

Big things happen for our clients after they receive their expungements.

They go to nursing school. Get CDL licenses. Become counselors. And so much more!

Older clients share they do it for a sense of peace towards the end of their life. Another shared they do it to live their best life! She simply wants to be like every other Nana and go on field trips.

Whatever your reason. We can help.
