I don't even know where to post anything anymore In this threadI was dealing with an attorney who wanted me to file a ch 13 even though I have no income. I'm supposed to talk to this guy on the 9th to discuss the plan. I paid him $1500 and I don't think I'm going to use him.
I just got off the phone with a local attorney with 30 years experience, I talked to him several times in the past 2 years. (my gut feeling was always to go with this guy)
This time I discussed all of my concerns. He said I'm ready to file whenever I'm ready, theres nothing wrong with anything I told him, and I told him everything I told all the other ones.
The only problem came at the end of the conversation when I told him I have to see the other attorney on the 9th. He said due to ethics he can no longer speak to me until I end all communications with the other attorney.
Now I find this interesting because the attorney trying to get me to do the ch 13 knew I retained another attorney and never said anything about ethics and me having to cut off all contact with the first guy I retained.
(I paid a partial retainer to one attorney, paid another one to work up my plan, now just consulted with one who actually knows what he's talking about)
Yea, I'm an idiot.
Now this is going to be the third attorney I sat down to speak with, but before I see him I need to cancel representation with the others. I asked if this needs to be in writing and he said no. So how do I cancel representation?
And should I sit with the attorney on the 9th and see how he expects me to fund a chapter 13 when he knows I have no income? He expressed interest in my fathers income and I guess plans on making it look like my father is paying me. He's not, I never said he was, I said he might be able to pay me $100 for 36 months.
Basically can I use any of this against this guy to get any amount of my money back?
So basically I need help getting my money back, and I need to know how to cancel representation.
How will this new attorney know it's been done correctly? How will I know it's been done correctly?
