What should I expect my attorney to do in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Exactly what you may expect of your attorney will be governed by the fee agreement the two of you have made and that has been filed with your case.  Under the rules of the Bankruptcy Court, your attorney must continue to appear and represent you until the judge permits your attorney to withdraw from your case.  Any attorney may only withdraw from a case for "good cause" after proper notice to you.

Your attorney's function is to aid and assist you in successfully completing your Chapter 13 plan.  Your attorney is there to answer any questions or concerns regarding your plan and the legal consequences of your case.  Remember, your attorney is your legal advisor, not the Trustee.  The Trustee and her staff are not allowed to give you legal advice regarding your case.
