Richard Vincent Hoppel

Having been a life long resident of Columbiana County, Ohio I believe that I am in touch with the strengths and weaknesses of our area and the clients that I serve.  Many of our communities and residents have faced economic challenges in the past 21 years that I have been practicing.  Being in tune with the people allows me to relate and communicate in a casual yet effective manner.

I also understand the devastation that drug and alcohol addiction can wreak on a community.  Having gone through a terrible period of active addiction and come out the other side with the aid of friends and family and the Ohio Lawyer's Assistance Program, I understand the situation and how to recover.  We do recover!

Finally, I am blessed to have a great extended family as well as my immediate family which consists of my wife Wendy, our daughter Addison (just now 5!) and Wendy's three children Lindsay, Samantha and Michael.  We are proud of them all and try to encourage them to work hard and do the next right thing!
