President
Tim Abeska is a retired attorney who practiced law in Indiana for nearly 35 years.The focus of Tim’s law practice was business and construction litigation and transportation law. He also represented banks and other commercial lenders.
In July 2015, his wife, Mary Ann, was diagnosed with ALS (often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease). In 2017, Tim accelerated a planned retirement so that Mary Ann could live her last days on her beloved Eastern Shore.
Tim began work as a volunteer attorney for Shore Legal Access (then named Mid-Shore Pro Bono) in March 2018 and has provided services to many clients. After Mary Ann died in January 2019, Tim expanded his volunteer work with Shore Legal Access, and joined the Board of Directors in late 2019. He is currently president of the board.
In addition to his work for Shore Legal Access, Tim serves on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Bar Foundation, is an Upper Shore Regional Council Small Business Mentor, and is a Volunteer Advocate with I AM ALS, an organization which is revolutionizing how we cure ALS by empowering and mobilizing patients, engaging with policymakers, and offering vital resources for people impacted by ALS.
