Bankruptcy lawyer at Stephen C. Whalen, P.A.
I am assuming you signed a fee agreement that discloses the total fee and costs that you agreed to pay in exchange for the firm's preparation of your petition and representation in your bankruptcy case. You seem to suggest that you have not paid the total agreed fee. Additional information is needed to respond more fully to your question. However, if you agreed to a fee greater than $1,000, then the lawyer is not obligated to file the petition and represent you for the lesser amount of $1,000 that you have paid.

Will bankruptcy help me?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
The student loans seem to be the major issue. I suggest that you find out if the student loans fall into the exception to dischargeability under 11 U.S.C. ?523(a)(8)(A)and/or (B). The language there is rather broad and also references a certain section of the Internal Revenue Code. A pure guess is that the student loans would not have been made unless they were of the type that would be non-dischargeable in a bankruptcy case. If they are, then a bankruptcy case might not be much of a help with your situation.
