Ohio Bankruptcy Attorneys Seek to Offer Hope to Debtors Through New Site

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 04, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As Americans face levels of personal debt that are raising alarm bells among economists and consumers alike, one Ohio bankruptcy firm aims to offer a message of hope for people who are suffering from crushing debt.

Through the launch of their new website, the bankruptcy attorneys at Fesenmyer Cousino Weinzimmer say they are providing resources for consumers and entrepreneurs to learn more about using bankruptcy as a method of fending off creditors and reestablishing control over their finances.

"There is a lot of misinformation in our country about what bankruptcy actually means," said Thomas M. Fesenmyer, a partner at the firm. "Most people don't realize that, despite its reputation, bankruptcy is a life preserver for those whose debt has become too enormous."

While bankruptcy is a central part of the firm's practice, the focus is helping clients find ways for debt relief that are in line with their wishes, the firm said.

"We're hoping that we can use our website as a tool to educate people about the options that bankruptcy can offer them, and provide them with the best path forward for solving their debt problems," said Courtney A. Cousino, a partner at the firm.

The average American household with debt owes over $130,000, more than $15,000 of which is credit card debt, according to a study by NerdWallet. These households are spending nearly 10 percent of their yearly incomes paying the interest on this debt, the study found.

"Massive personal debt has ripple effects that can be incredibly destructive to the lives of families and individuals," said Danielle R. Weinzimmer, a partner at the firm. "While it is not the best path forward for every situation, many people can gain control over a terrible financial situation by exploring the debt relief and bankruptcy options our laws offer them."

Bankruptcy laws were enacted to help people reduce or dismiss the debt they owe creditors, often allowing debtors to structure a payment plan that is designed according to their own financial situation. The firm said that choosing the right form of bankruptcy is an important part of the process.

According to the new Fesenmyer Cousino Weinzimmer site, the firm offers personalized case evaluations and counsel for debt relief options, including Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 debt reorganization, debt settlement negotiations, and foreclosure defense for mortgage holders.
