Scott Needleman's Experience with Licking County
Having worked with clients throughout Licking County, I’ve seen firsthand the economic challenges that can quickly turn into huge debt, especially for those just trying to get by each day. In Licking County, more than one in 5 renters are considered severely rent burdened, meaning they spend over 30% of their income on housing. Housing affordability has also become an issue in areas of Licking County due to the Intel project. Add in an illness or injury, and you can easily fall into overwhelming medical debt–the most common cause of filing for bankruptcy in Ohio. As your bankruptcy attorney, I bring legal expertise and a genuine understanding of the economic challenges facing families and individuals in Licking County every day. It’s a difficult time for you–get compassionate and effective representation during your financial recovery process.
