Justice for All

ABLE is proud to work with and for Ohio's immigrants and immigrant communities. By protecting, strengthening, and uplifting their legal rights, we can all help ensure a just and welcoming Ohio.

Generations of Justice

The law is a powerful tool for ensuring access to opportunities many of us take for granted. ABLE was founded to right the wrongs that disproportionately affect communities of color and people living in poverty. For over 50 years ABLE has made justice a reality for people who had nowhere else to turn.

Increasing Economic Stability

14 out of every 100 people live in poverty in our service area. Over 70% of people in poverty have a civil legal problem every year that jeopardizes their families without an attorney to help navigate complex legal systems. We partner with our clients and with community partners on legal solutions to the issues keeping communities in poverty.
