Blakemore, Meeker, and Bowler Co., L.P.A., 495 Portage Lakes Drive Akron, Ohio 44319

FIRM BACKGROUND
Our tradition of service began in 1969 when four of Akron, Ohio’s prominent attorneys – Robert Blakemore, Bernard Rosen, Joseph G. Miller and Randolph “RC” Norris – formed Blakemore, Rosen, Miller & Norris, the law firm which is known today as Blakemore, Meeker & Bowler, Co., LPA, (BMB Law.)
The deep community involvement and legal expertise of the founding partners led them to focus on meeting the legal needs of families and small businesses in Akron and the surrounding communities. Soon after Mr. Rosen, Mr. Norris, and Mr. Miller left the firm, Robert Meeker became its President. In 1977, the name of the firm changed to Blakemore, Meeker & Bowler Co., L.P.A., and in 2003, when Founding Partner Robert Blakemore passed away, Senior Partners Robert C. Meeker and Michael B.
