Since 2002, over $22 million dollars has been distributed to charities in the State of Ohio through Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A.

Ohio Lawyers Give Back is pleased to announce that July 18, 2008 marked the largest cy pres distribution in U.S. history. Dworken and Bernstein structured a $52 million dollar class action settlement to provide over $14 million to charity.
