Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

bankruptcy fraud

I filed a chp 13 and payments were being taken out of my pay check voluntarily. It was set up for 5 years. When I got laid off the bankruptcy attorney told me that I had 3 months to find other employment or the case would be dismissed. I found a job within 1 month but he had already moved his business, decided no longer to handle bankruptcies and took off with my money. He didn't notify me by phone, he didn't send a letter nor did he transfer the account to another attorney. I tried to settle the matter by asking him for at least half of the money back which is around the same amount I had to pay out to file a chp 7 in order to prevent collection of the debt; the payments were too far behind. He refused to cooperate and he denied any wrong doing. And the chp 13 was dismissed. Can I legally sue him?

Re: bankruptcy fraud

Maybe not. Two questions that come up are whether the alleged claim against him was listed as an asset of your Ch. 7 estate, and what the trustee did with the purported claim.
