Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania

Motion to strike a lein

How may I as an individual proceed to fire my attorney and ask for a time to get a competent attorney who will file a ''Motion to strike a lein'' because, the stated facts in a judgement held by a creditor(former land lord) are not true, and further, my attorney advised me incorrectly resulting in a bankruptcy case being filed. I have since learned that he should have advised me to fight or apeal the judgement. I have a meeting of the creditors two day's from now.

Re: Motion to strike a lein

Two days before a first meeting of creditors is not a good time to fire your attorney. If the landlord obtained a judgment then the landlord convinced someone of the facts, either arbitrators or a MDJ, or a Judge. Appeals are difficult and are frequently lost. You should carefully consider the qualifications of the person advising you that you should have fought or appealed the judgment as compared with your own attorney's.
