Malpractice can brew trouble for attorneys too. This was discovered by Keith D. Collier when a lawsuit was filed against him by Elena Escamilla, a staff attorney for Donald F. Walton, the U.S. Trustee. This was for breaches which included sanctions for violation of the automatic stay, discharge injunction, injunctive relief and conflict of interest due to disgorgement of fees. According to lawyers of Dallas based bankruptcy law firm Recovery Law Group this isn’t the first time such an action has been taken against lawyers.
In case you had opted for a deferred payment plan through which you made payments after Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing or made any post-petition payments outside the repayment plan in case of Chapter 13, you didn’t have any obligation to make those payments. If you have made any payments, you can get a full refund of the money paid. This is something that your lawyer should help you with. To make this happen, you need to consult your bankruptcy attorney. Alternately, you could call 888-297-6023 to speak with experienced bankruptcy lawyers.
