Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Re: What can be declared for B-ruptcy?

Attorneys fees in bankruptcy generally are dischargeable, except in certain circumstances. Generally, if these fees were for services provided at some point long before the bankruptcy, they are dischargeable. Also, payment of fees within 90 days of bankruptcy may be recovered a preference payment to your prior attorney over your other general creditors.

Re: What can be declared for B-ruptcy?

Attorney's fees are generally dischargeable in bankruptcy because they are usually an unsecured debt i.e. you go to an attorney and agree to pay $x amount of dollars for the attorney to perform some type of service. Exceptions to this rule i.e the attorney's fees debt is not dischargeable involve attorney's fees relating to certain secured debts and non-

dischargeable debts.

Generally attorney fees are dischargable. See prior reply for exceptions.
