Q: Filing for bankruptcy Found out the law firm we went to was bad so we went to cancel. Now being charged way to much.
We went to file for bankruptcy and we were supposed to only pay 100 a month til completion before they filed we've only paid for one month. We found out the company wasn't very good so we tried to cancel. Now they are trying to charge us over 600 dollars something we never ever agreed to. What do we do?
A:
Their argument will be that they have provided you that value in services. You should go to a new lawyer. Exercise your due diligence before you go--seek referrals from your local or statewide lawyer referral service.
BTW, that amount appears to be subject to discharge when you file.
Good Luck
