Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Michigan

My attorney filed a Motion for Atty fees. I objected because I have proof he double billed . He also did not do any work at all and I also had proof of that. He called me into his office and I sat in lobby for almost one hour and saw him for approx ten minutes. He billed me for 1.7 on that. I objected . The Judge granted his motion. Can I file a grievance with Atty Gruevance or do I have to appeal Judges Order? I gave him a retainer

Although there may be a basis for a grievance, a grievance is not an appeal and will not affect the order entered by the court. You need to appeal if you want to challenge the order.

If this is a Chapter 13 case, and this attorney is over-billing, you might want to find a new lawyer to substitute into your case.
