Attorney Kristina Rainer was the sole recipient of the 2024 Lloyd O’Hara Public Interest Law Award that is given to only one attorney in the Dayton community every year. See the video produced about her service contributions and the press release about Kristina’s accomplishments: “To all the lawyers out there who tirelessly try to “make it rain;” the lawyer who feels unfulfilled in a career that is often associated with greed, arrogance, and pride; the lawyer who chases the buck over chasing the opportunity to change a poor person’s life; I encourage you to take a leap of faith and represent just one impoverished client for free. Your unprofitable actions will end up blessing you tenfold, and will give you a sense of fulfillment that you didn’t know was possible in your legal career. And who knows, as a result of your selfless actions, after only 17 years on the job, like Kristina, you may receive an honorable award that has historically only been given to lawyers who are nearing the end of their career.”
