Should I file for bankruptcy if I cannot pay attorney fees? How?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Linda S. Novakov & Associates, PLLC
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to file a Chapter 7 petition, which will discharge all unsecured debt. There are several benchmarks to pass - you must be able to pass the means test, that is an income test whereby you are measured against all others in the community/area where you live. If you are below the median income in your area, you will pass the means test and be allowed to file a chapter 7. If your income is above the median income level, and you do not have sufficient deductions to allow you to meet the income test, you may be required to file under Chapter 13, which is a wage earner's petition, whereby you propose a plan to pay your unsecured creditors back some percentage of what they are owed, depending on court approval of the plan. Bankruptcy can be done pro-se, but it is strongly suggested that you consult an attorney to help you through the process.

If I filed for chap 7, 6 years ago and my lawyer did not file an affirmative on my property (not included in the bankruptcy), can it be done now?

Bankruptcy law requires a reaffirmation to be filed and approved by the court before the discharge is entered. If you are asking this question because your mortgage company has told you to do this, you may have the right to sue your mortgage company for damages and force them to provide you with an attractive reaffirmation. Hire an experienced attorney for your loan modification case. Your legal fees can be largely covered by the damages awarded to you from the mortgage company and you may have very little out of pocket expense.

What happens if I transfer my car title 16 months prior to my bankruptcy filing? How?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)

The reason you have to list this transfer is because the bankruptcy code says so. Whether you or your friend have to pay this money to the trustee will depend on whether this sale was made under terms that would be considered fair. For example, that the car was worth only the $4,500 you received for it, and not $15,000. A big part of bankruptcy is being willing to comply with the law, because even for something of low importance, violating the bankruptcy law can turn you into a criminal.
