More than 200 lawyers have volunteered to help financially strapped homeowners facing foreclosure in response to a request by Chief Justice Thomas Moyer to provide free legal advice.
The president of the Ohio State Bar Association put out a call for volunteers to meet Moyer’s request, association spokesman Ken Brown said Wednesday.
“Unfortunately, it’s a big problem, and lawyers feel a responsibility to help. But it’s not new to us,” Brown said. “We do support what the chief justice has asked of attorneys. But let me emphasize there are already lots of attorneys around the state helping folks who are in this situation.”

Reply to Chief Justice Thomas Moyer More, help should be given to those who lost there House; I think lawyers defense strategies should, be two fold, with emphasis being not only on preemption, of foreclosure’s upon Banks filing of Reformation of Mortgage (foreclosure); But also targeting the banks to recover realty under existing state laws, for people who were foreclosed on already [untapped clients]; pressure should be put on elected Judges to adjudicate and create jurisprudence from complaints filed under Ohio Revised Code § 5303 (actions relating to realty), I don’t see why predatory lending laws can be applicable nexus to 5303 to achieve recovery of realty, since a quiet title action can be brought be a person out of possession of realty having or claims to have an interest in reversion in realty, ( statue of limitations is 20 years ?) in other words a foreclosure action against the bank, lets take a caviler approach to it, the Banks have, think out of the box evil requires different innovative thinking, moreover, the nation is under attack from greedy citizens from within!

I would like to know the names of some of these lawyers who are helping with forclosure issues.
Thank you,
Dear nita slaughter I’m not a lawyer, however, I am currently Representing myself pro se against Deutsche Bank Trust Company America, because it stole my mother’s house, which would, have went to myself upon her death, this may seem hard to understand, but it did happen, as far as your question to me, I don’t know any lawyers who have the balls to go up against these corrupt banks, who receive assistance from our elected Judges [collusion], although I certainly have sought counsel, but to no avail, I suggest you read at a Law Library as I have done and go for it, and if your African American, as I am keep trying, because your in for a uphill fight, because these banks targeted black neighborhoods first with sub prime loans, and if you challenge the outcome of a foreclosure, even with appropriate application of law the Judges will find a way to shoot you down, without the Banks assistance, I not trying to discourage anyone but this is what happen to me (fact) so hang in there and fight maybe someone will notice, but don’t ever, ever, give up or in.
Chris,
This is ta sad but true reality of the problems facing consumers.There just are not enough or enough with balls to take on these bannks as you say.
