Gabriel Fletcher
Managing Director
Gabriel is joining us from The Ohio Justice and Policy Center where one of his main passions was assisting second chance clients in successfully navigating the difficult reentry process.
As the new leader of CSJ, Gabriel wants to continue the forward momentum that former Executive Director, Rickell Howard Smith built by keeping “our eyes on the prize” as we get further away from the racial awakening in the summer of 2020.
Gabriel attended the University of Cincinnati College of Law, and previously practiced law with Jackson Lewis P.C. We are eager to see where CSJ is headed under Gabriel’s stewardship.
