Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati & Southwest Ohio.
The Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati (Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio) serves Cincinnati and the southwest Ohio counties with a full range of civil legal services.
What they do
Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati & Southwest Ohio provides free civil legal help to low-income residents in southwest ohio — in the everyday matters that determine whether a family stays housed, safe, and financially stable: eviction and housing, domestic violence and family safety, consumer and debt problems, and public benefits.
How the Foundation supports them
As one of Ohio's five funded legal aid organizations, Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati & Southwest Ohio receives Foundation grants drawn from IOLTA/IOTA interest and the civil filing-fee surcharge — part of the $7.2 million approved for 2026 — and the Foundation provides oversight to ensure the highest quality of civil legal aid work.
Ohioans seeking civil legal assistance should start with the statewide intake resource, then connect with their local legal aid.
