Q: I recently went to a lawyer and found out that back in 2011 filed for chapter 7 by a different lawyer.
First attorney was to refund me 5200.00 dollars. Never did. Second attorney can get that for me but I will only get 1000.00 back. He stated I need to pay taxes and excess charges. Is this legal? What should I do?
A: This question leaves a lot to the imagination. If your first BR lawyer never gave you $5,200 way back in 2011, why are you just now trying to recover it? Oh..wait; let me guess? So you can pay BR lawyer #2; right?
