What We Are
To better serve the Southwest Ohio region, Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio LLC was established in 2007 as an affiliate of the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati. Since then, Legal Aid has been assisting families and individuals in seven counties: Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland, and Warren counties in Southwest Ohio. We have two full-service offices, one in Cincinnati and the other in Hamilton, as well as a satellite office at Children’s Hospital Pediatric Primary Clinic in Avondale.
Legal Aid’s mission is to ensure access to the justice system for all, regardless of their ability to pay. We aim to resolve serious legal problems faced by low-income individuals and families, promoting economic and family stability, and reducing poverty through effective legal assistance. All requests for legal help from the Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio, LLC are handled through a central reception and intake system managed by the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati.
What We Do
We provide comprehensive civil legal assistance free of charge to address a wide range of major social and legal obstacles. Our services include preventing homelessness, obtaining freedom from domestic abuse, ensuring access to health and income benefits, and overcoming barriers to employment. By resolving legal issues for the most vulnerable members of our community, we help them achieve greater economic and family stability.
Our approach involves both individual problem resolution and legal advocacy to improve systems. We often collaborate with other human services organizations to form projects that advocate for our clients and provide them with the services they need. Additionally, Legal Aid takes the lead in coordinating our services with other non-profit and government agencies, developing innovative programs, and conducting community legal education.
