Ables III has litigated cases in seven states, including cases involving large loss insurance fraud, securities fraud, antitrust and R.I.C.O. violations, a gas well blow-out, print media and motion picture defamations, commerce between the United States and a foreign government, mass tort and natural disaster insurance coverage disputes, and numerous industrial and consumer products.

Jack was involved in preventing illegal statistical sampling to influence the decennial U.S. census of 2000.
