Serving Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky
When financial problems hit, "big" problems are most often covered in the media. Foreclosures. Repossession. Wage garnishment. But what about one of the most basic problems that can result from debt - the disconnection of gas and electricity utilities? The loss of your ability to operate your air conditioner, television, stove, heater and other key items and appliances can have serious consequences for the health and well-being of your family.
At the Cincinnati law firm of Zingarelli and Lawrence, we have helped many individuals and families reverse disconnection actions and access gas and electricity services, after being unable to pay utility bills. How?
We have helped prevent heat and light utility disconnections through the filing of Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy protection results in the closing of your old utility account and the creation of a new one with, in many cases, a zero dollar balance.
Have your gas and electricity been turned off? Have disconnected utilities caused hardship for you and your family? We can help get your power turned back up. Contact lawyers Nick Zingarelli and Justin Lawrence at 513-277-0816 or 859-838-6061.
Mr. Zingarelli and Mr. Lawrence are experienced bankruptcy attorneys with years of bankruptcy law experience. If you have had difficulty paying your utility bill, resulting in your gas or electricity being turned off, we can meet with you to discuss bankruptcy options aimed at giving you a fresh start with local utilities.
An additional problem can involve security deposits; once you file for bankruptcy, utilities have the right to charge you a security deposit on your new utility bill which often totals around $450. We can work to have your security deposit paid in installments instead of the lump sum that the utility companies often demand.
