Homeowners Facing Foreclosure Ask Ohio Supreme Court to Order Appointment of Counsel.

 

Attorneys have asked the Ohio Supreme Court to rule that an elderly low-income couple facing loss through foreclosure of their home of 22 years have a state constitutional right to appointment of counsel at state expense.

The trial court denied the motion to appoint counsel, and the couple asked the state supreme court to hear the case.

 

 

They also asked the court to consolidate their case with all other pending foreclosure cases in their county. The following documents are posted here:  defendants' motion to consolidate, mandamus petition to supreme court, memorandum in supreme court, and motion for appointment of counsel and stay.
