Can I fire my bankruptcy attorney for delayed filing?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Of course you can discharge your lawyer. A person has the right to the lawyer s/he wants and can afford. A 7-weeks delay is not the longest I have heard of, but it's definitely too long to wait. In my office in most cases we file within a week to ten days after the client gets us the necessary information, and in emergency cases, overnight. Sometimes a filing is delayed because the client has not provided all the required information and as you know, there is a lot. But in that case the lawyer should be contacting you to ask for what he or she needs. I would suggest you contact the lawyer again, by certified letter, return receipt requested, setting out the chronology and insisting that s/he get the papers ready for review and signature and prompt filing within a few days, or else you want a refund. (In addition, lawyers are obliged to be 'diligent,' under the rules governing lawyers. You have the right to file a grievance with the lawyer disciplinary body in your State. But it's definitely best not to use this option as a threat: just do it if you feel it is justified.) Good Luck.

Can a creditor garnish 25% of income for each of two jobs? Just 25% from first job? Or 25% of my total income from both?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
They cannot garnish 75% or 30 times the federal minimum hourly wages, per week, whichever is greater. But this limit does not apply to child support. Consider asking for some advice about bankruptcy. Please understand that bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step. Most Arizona bankruptcy attorneys offer a free consultation about the basics of bankruptcy.

If someone filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, can this affect child support or keep them from paying or can the amount be change?

Child support is not discharged in bankruptcy. Bankruptcy does not affect the child support order. Only the court that issued the order can change that order, generally.
