Do Pro SE filers have more problems with US Trustee?

A little input from me,

You hire an attorney for his expertise in bankruptcy laws and issues........ THAT'S WHAT YOU EXPECT AND PAY FOR!! You pay for his opinion, his advice on options available to you, and for him to prepare your petition.

Thankfully, the new laws NOW hold an attorney accountable for his actions. Many attorneys (like mine), never even "looked" at the petition.... he just had his girl type it up and he signed it, she filed it!!!!

Needless to say, his "lack" of knowledge concerning my bankruptcy petition caused me to loose my home in Chapter 7. This should have never happened.

You hire an attorney to represent you to the "best" of his ability and in the best interest of his client!!!

When they take your money - do ABSOLUTELY nothing - create a problem - and then run..... THEY SHOULD BE PENALIZED!!!

I would say "many an attorney" has caused a client to loose everything they own because of poor representation in a bankruptcy case..... AND ITS TIME THEY WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE....

Tickled me to death to see this writtin into law..................

The actions of my attorney caused me to loose my home in bankruptcy and for it to be auctioned off. Had my attorney been "doing his job" it would have never happened. Even the Trustee and Auctioneer at the auction made the statement that "I could blame my attorney for this auction"!!

So YES, by all means, keep a close eye on your attorney and what he does..... shame, many of us had to learn this from experience the hard way....

I know you mentioned this before regarding being accountable for their actions. Is that actually written in the new law? All I got from it is that they have to certify that the debtor is telling the truth and they investigated the debtor as far as illegal transfers, recent charges, income, etc. I think someone here mentioned recently that their lawyer made a mistake under new law and the case was dismissed and that person has to refile. What can happen to the lawyer in this case?

Wow what a bum you had.

Believe a visit from the don would give this gentleman a new attitude.

Your attorney should just simply make you whole and if he doesn`t then he should be put in parts and shipped to a galaxy far, far, away.
