The short answer is no. In addition to a real estate attachment, which the plaintiff will soon record, there should have been an accompanying Complaint.

Yes. The attorneys who file an appearance are the lawyers of record with the court on your behalf. That doesn't mean other lawyers in the firm cannot assist, behind the scenes, on a case. I think it's a matter of degree and what they are doing. Conducting legal research or drafting... View More

Yes, you should be able to do that once your Ch. 13 Plan is confirmed. The First Circuit has adopted the “complete snapshot rule” whereby the petition date sets the date for establishing exemptions.
