Is there any way I can hold the attorney responsible for his negligence?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
A lawyer is always responsible for his negligence (i.e. legal malpractice). Whether your losses add up to enough damages to make it worthwhile to sue the guy is a separate question. You certainly can call the Trustee and tell him or her your problem. You also should write out a letter or memo to your lawyer, setting out exactly what you think he did wrong, and insisting that he correct it in a very short timesay 10 days. Good Luck.

What chapter do I file if I have about 25K in credit card debt?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
Most Chapters will eliminate unsecured debt but which Chapter to file is not a function of debt but of equity. You need to consult with a qualified atty to find out what your equity would be in a bankruptcy proceeding so that you can determine the right Chapter to file under.

What do I do if they told us and our attorney that they were not going to release the title to the vehicle even after it was paid off?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald K. Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
If the debt was reaffirmed, then you have exactly the same rights as anyone else who has paid off their car loan. The credit union is required to give you the title. First, are you certain that you paid off the car? Do you have a statement showing it's paid off or did they admit it was paid off or (this is more work) do you have their last statement and the cancelled checks showing you paid it off. Send them a certified letter demanding the title and threaten to file in the bankruptcy court for punitive damages for violation of the discharge injunction by trying to hold the title on a paid off car to force you to pay the discharged credit card debt. Forget going to the state court to try to force them to give you the title, you'd have to pay the filing fees and your attorney. But in the bankruptcy court, (assuming you can prove that you paid off the car) you'll get all that reimbursed.
