What can we do about out attorney fees if we are in bankruptcy?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
It is difficult to understand from your post, why your attorney fees are so high and how you didn't know about them. Either you agreed to those fees in the beginning of your case, or the attorney has filed a fee motion or motions along the way. If there were fee motions, you should have received copies when they were filed, and you could have gone into court and objected to the fees. So, you should find out from the attorney how he was paid those fees. As to selling your house and having to pay a higher payment, assuming you will still have at least a rent payment, I wouldn't think your payment would go up the full amount of your prior house payment. All that being said, if you can, you should make an appointment with your attorney and get your questions answered. The attorney works for you, not the other way around. You have a right to understand your bankruptcy and your payment. If you have lost confidence in your attorney, you have a right to fire him and hire another attorney, but that attorney will want to be paid for his or her work, as well. So, in the long run you might be paying even more than you have thus far.

Can I be evicted from public housing after filling chapter 7?

Your questions are far too complicated to answer without more information. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney. If you do not have one then see if your local bankruptcy court has a self-help center.

What would be the best bankruptcy to file if I have roughly $20,000 unsecured debt?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
Chapter 7 permits the debtor to get rid of all of their unsecured debt without having to make payments to that debt. It is not a good choice for people who are behind on their mortgage and want to save their house from foreclosure. It is an excellent choice if you want speed and simplicity. You must qualify for a 7. The tests are income versus ALLOWABLE expenses (term of art...need a lawyer) "liquidation" (do you have equity in property that is not protected by an exemption (law stuff again) and the "means test"...one of the stupidest things Congress has ever thought up (and I am a conservative Republican) which asks are you an above or below median (half above/half below) income household. Chapter 13 is a bankruptcy where you are required to make a monthly payment for 36 or up to 60 months. The basis of the payment is never unsecured debt. It is affected by the tests outlined above. Filing this bankruptcy will stop a foreclosure and allow you to repay the mortgage arrears at zero percent interest.
