Weltman Partner to Help Refugees and Immigrants

Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA (Weltman) is proud to announce that Rosemary Taft-Milby, Managing Partner of the Litigation & Defense Group, was recently selected to serve on the Board of the International Services Center of Cleveland (ISC), which assists refugees and immigrants after they relocate to Northern Ohio.

International Services Center is a non-profit, non-sectarian social service agency dedicated to helping thousands of immigrants and refugees each year to achieve self-sufficiency. ISC has a long history of assisting refugees and immigrants. Originally founded in 1916 as the Cleveland’s YWCA’s Department of Immigration to offer assistance to Eastern European immigrants, ISC has now grown into an agency that offers refugee resettlement, employment assistance and immigration counseling.

“The process of settling refugees is quite complicated and requires a number of services, such as education, employment, housing, and socialization”, said Rosemary. “I am honored to be selected as a member of the board and look forward to supporting such a worthwhile organization.”

Rosemary will serve a 3-year term on the Board of ISC. Rosemary’s legal insight and professional experience will help the board in their activities, which include fundraising, planning events, applying for grants, establishing policies and procedures and reviewing the board’s bylaws.

Rosemary is the Managing Partner of Weltman’s Litigation & Defense Group and is based in the Cleveland office. Her practice involves consumer finance litigation, commercial banking, business-to-business litigation, commercial real estate litigation and federal court litigation. In the course of her career, Rosemary has represented many large and small banks, worked as a solo practitioner and has had substantial trial and appellate experience in both Ohio and Kentucky on the state and federal levels. Although primarily representing creditors and businesses in commercial and banking disputes, Rosemary has experience in personal injury, social security, workers’ compensation and domestic relations matters.
