Realizing I dislike my attorney. Tips?

[AngelinaCat]

When you took the bk attorney to court, what was the outcome?

We went to court to have her discharged as our attorney and proceed pro se. This was largely because as long as her name appeared as attorney of record, we could not talk to the Trustee of his special examiner for the Rule 2004(b) in which he made us an offer which we wanted to accept but our attorney was unavailable and the deadline had passed.

Our biggest complaints with her were her lack of her timeliness in communications with us, as well as several ommissions of things in our paperwork that prompted the 2004(b).

But as it turned out, our case was so close to being discharged that the judge didn't understand why we wanted to do this. Basically she had already done her job. And it was apparent that she was well thought of by the judge and all the attorneys in the room. So in the end the judge denied the motion to dismiss her as it was essentially a moot point anyway.

The worst that can happen is you have to pay the trustee $500 because cash exempt value for NY is 2500 (and yes, this includes checks that have not cleared).

Is this true that I have to pay - but ONLY if the rest of the Ch 7 goes through with a discharge?1
