About Arlene Potash — Over 26 years of Ohio legal experience

Arlene Potash is an attorney based in Akron, OH. Arlene has over 26 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Amourgis & Associates.

Arlene has spent almost all of her working career in law offices prior to attending law school. She managed a large collections practice on behalf of the Ohio Attorney General’s office and later on behalf of the City of Cleveland. Arlene worked as a legal temp throughout law school at small, mid-size and large corporate law firms.

As a licensed attorney, Arlene worked with the Juvenile Court system in abuse, neglect and dependency cases, juvenile criminal cases, as well as handling bankruptcy and civil litigation cases. She took on several pro bono cases when people would simply walk up to her and ask for help.
