Community Involvement

From Tom Knoll’s co-founding of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Akron and First Tee of Akron to Mike Stark’s work with the Akron Zoo, Tom and Mike have instilled in the firm a sense of pride and commitment to the Akron community since day one. Today, Stark & Knoll still values the importance of the community in which we work.

Our attorneys and staff work to assist area non-profits by serving as board members, committee members and volunteers.  Annually the firm comes together to raise money through employee donations, pot-luck luncheons and jeans days for the benefit of the United Way of Summit County.

To see current pictures of Stark & Knoll's volunteer efforts throughout Akron make sure to like us on Facebook.
