LAURA CREED
for Shaker Heights Municipal Court Judge
Passionate about Access to Justice
Laura designed and developed the Court Resource Center in the Court of Common Pleas. Before the Center was created, Cuyahoga County residents with no legal representation had little assistance in navigating the court system. The Center provides support and services to litigants that don't qualify for Legal Aid but cannot afford an attorney.
This unique experience makes Laura ideally suited to the municipal bench
where many litigants are self-represented.
