My attorney filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy. He thought I could have .000 in equity. But, I can only have .000 in equity. He has admitted he made a mistake but it could cost me my home. What can I do? He is asking me to let him work it out but my friends say I need to hire a different attorney.
He/she can amend the filing…. simply have him/her do it.. on THEIR nickel….
you need to discuss options with your attorney and talk to a second one to find out what options you really have available to you. Chapter 13 is more the BK to file when you have assets to protect not Chapter 7
You definitely need to hire a new attorney. You also should have the new attorney prepare a motion for sanctions and damages against the old attorney to recover your attorneys fees that you’ve paid him. This is obviously a cause of malpractice and this is why attorneys have insurance. Good Luck!
You paid him. Let him work it out. If he screws up again,report him to the local bar association stating that he is incompetent.
