Try to find your lawyer by going to the website of the California Bar. He or she must keep her current address listed there. Leases need not be reaffirmed but may be assumed after filing Chapter 7. You should have no problem returning the vehicles and not have any liability but you should really contact the attorney that represented you first before you do anything. Alternatively you should have a lawyer review the case first to see what you entered as your intention in the bankruptcy documents filed.
