Bankruptcy Attorney Serving Athens County: Athens, Nelsonville & The Plains

Why Choose Needleman Law Office for Your Bankruptcy Needs in Athens?

Convenience: Since bankruptcy is handled federally, most consultations and meetings can be conducted via Zoom from the comfort of your home, reducing the need for frequent travel. All that’s required is visiting my office once to sign the final paperwork and participate in a mock bankruptcy hearing.

Lack of Strong Representation: There is a lack of competent legal representation for bankruptcy attorneys in Athens, which is why I encourage you to work with our Columbus-based law firm, a short one-hour and twenty-minute drive down US-33 from Athens. With over 34 years of experience, I understand the limited options available in Athens and am committed to providing expert guidance.

Personalized Service: My extensive experience allows me to tailor my approach to each client’s needs, ensuring that your case is thoroughly prepared and handled with care.

Scott Needleman's Experience with Athens County

Having worked with clients throughout Athens County, I’ve seen firsthand how the regional economic challenges can quickly transform into overwhelming personal debt, especially when combined with unexpected medical bills or the struggle to keep up with mortgage payments. Many Athens residents face unique financial pressures, from seasonal employment tied to Ohio University’s schedule to the harsh reality that Athens County consistently experiences one of Ohio’s highest poverty rates—around 30%, significantly above the state average. As your bankruptcy attorney, I bring not just legal expertise but a genuine understanding of the specific economic realities that Athens County families face every day, allowing me to provide more effective and compassionate representation during your financial recovery process.
