Is it legal to bill someone for legal services 4 years and 5 months after the matter was closed?

It is legal. Ask for an explanation, and check your records. I suspect you have received a statement reflecting a prior billing. This is even more likely if you have been moving in the mean time.

What is the limit on cash in your bank account under chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
The bankruptcy law doesn't set a limit on the amount of cash you have in your bank account to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. However as a practical matter, having a large amount of cash could cause you some problems. The trustee could seize your cash and use it to pay himself and your creditors. A large amount of cash would be an indication that you have an income which is greater than the Chapter 7 limit. There are various exemptions which could apply to cash. All states have an exemption for a small amount of cash and most states have a wildcard exemption which can be used for anything including cash. The wildcard exemption in some states can be over $20,000. Some cash is exempt because it came from an exempt source, for example, social security is always exempt even if you've had the money for some time (the problem is proving that the money came from SS rather than elsewhere.)

When should I start getting another attorney if the filing attorney has not responded to inquiries?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Until the trustee files the final report, there is nothing for your bankruptcy attorney to do. Because the trustee needs to audit your file in order to prepare the final report, I have seen it take up to a year after the final plan payment has been made for the trustee to file this report. Although you are always able to change attorneys, I can say that I and many other attorneys will refuse to represent someone who has made the decision to change attorneys once the case is filed.
