Should I fire my bankruptcy attorney and get another before the 341 meeting scheduled with creditors?

You are allowed to switch lawyers whenever you feel like it. Whether you SHOULD fire your attorney or not is never a clear-cut yes-or-no question. In figuring out whether you want to do that or not, don't focus on what they did or didn't do up to this point. Instead, ask yourself what else you think they should have done, or what you think you've paid them to do but that they haven't done. Then once you know VERY SPECIFICALLY what it is you think they were supposed to do but didn't, ask yourself whether the next lawyer is going to do those specific things or not.

What happens with a deed in lieu after a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
There is no way to predict how this will affect your credit. The more important question is will signing a deed in lieu open the door for the lender to be able to sue you? Your discharge closed that door, but any new contract after the bankruptcy may re-obligate you for some or all of the debt. I don't recommend to my own clients that they do either a deed in lieu or a short sale after they file for bankruptcy protection. Instead I tell them to let the property foreclose.

Which state do we file in?

Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
You are required to file bankruptcy in the jurisdiction where you have lived the majority of the previous 180 days. If you are separated and live in different states you probably should file separately.
