Q: Is it normal for my bankruptcy attorney to not research questions I have? All I keep getting is "I don't know
When I ask that he find out, he never follows up and gets the question asked with the trustee.
A:
It isn't typical for your bankruptcy attorney to avoid researching your questions. A competent attorney should address your concerns and provide clear answers. If they don't have the information immediately, they should follow up and find out for you.
Good communication is essential in legal matters, especially with something as significant as bankruptcy. Your attorney should be proactive in getting answers to your questions and keeping you informed throughout the process.
If your attorney consistently fails to provide necessary information or follow up with the trustee, it may be worth considering finding a new legal representative. Your peace of mind and confidence in your legal representation are important.
