Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
Bankruptcy with Personal Injury Claim
Four years ago I filed a personal injury claim.After months on disability I filed for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy became an assets case pending the outcome of the p.i. case. The case settled a year ago and I have been left without representation. The bankruptcy attorney became a judge prior to settlement. The p.i. lawyer received his portion of the settlement and refuses to further assist me. The trustee has broken off all communication with me. I have not received any portion of the settlement nor have my creditors been paid.Would it be possible for another bankruptcy attorney to pick up the case?

You certainly can obtain counsel. Coincidentally, I am performing a similar service for another client. He filed a Chapter 7, pro se. He also had a disability attorney persuing that case. He never had bankruptcy counsel and was having difficulty dealing with the Trustee. I recently reached an agreement with all parties to the client's satisfaction. Feel free to contact any competent counsel and feel free to call or E-mail me on a free intial basis.

Your first bankruptcy attorney should not have left you in a lurch like he did. Did you pay him? What type of Bankruptcy did you file? I offer free consultations.
