More than 200 Ohio lawyers have offered to give free legal advice to homeowners who are facing foreclosure. The Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court is happy about that. Tom Moyer says only about 10% of homeowners who are in danger of losing their houses currently have attorneys helping them.
Ohio has one of the worst foreclosure rates in the nation. Last year, 85 of the 88 counties saw an increase in the number of foreclosures. |
