Are we entitled to a refund from an attorney if they dropped our case?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
Yes. Start by asking the attorney in writing for a refund, and for an accounting for any time that he spent on your case. If you do not receive an accounting and a refund that is satisfactory to you, you can file a complaint with the State Bar. You can also file a Small Claims Court complaint.

I just went through a divorce when can I file a chapter 7?

Katharine Renee Granger
Answered by attorney Katharine Renee Granger (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Granger Law Firm LLC
You can file for bankruptcy now that the divorce is final. You should meet with an attorney to make sure you meet the qualifications for Chapter 7 and that you are not in danger of losing any assets.

Can our RV be repossessed and leave us on the streets or can we claim it as our homestead filing chapter 7?

Craig Alan Burnett
Answered by attorney Craig Alan Burnett (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Craig Burnett
While a homestead exemption may cover your RV, you are not asking the right question. Exemptions are designed to protect any equity you may have in an asset, so that a bankruptcy trustee or judgment creditor may not take it to satisfy claims. Exemptions are meaningless with regard to a secured creditor's interest in the asset. You do not have any equity in the RV, so there is nothing to protect by use of an exemption, and the bankruptcy trustee would have no interest in it in any event, since the loan balance exceeds its value. Even if you did have equity in it, you cannot use an exemption to wipe out the secured creditor's lien rights. It could be worth $40,000 and you may only owe $10,000 on it, but if you stop making the payments, the creditor would still have the right to repossess it, regardless of whether you are living in it.
