how can I get my attorney to file my CH 7 ?

[Gracious]

I hired my BK attorney in Oct 14, 09 and submitted all my paperwork he requested, made my final payment to him for services in dec 1, 2009, completed the credit counseling and submitted the certificate and submitted updated documents on a regular basis. I have repeatedly requested him to prepare my CH 7 file for my review and approval, but his para-legal assistants keep telling me there are other applicants ahead of me and they have emergencies. I want my Ch 7 filed but the attorney I chose and paid for, is dragging this out too long.
What can I do to get them to act on this ch 7 fileing?

i would keep bugging, and if they keep putting you off say you'll take your business to another attorney and ask for your money back right away. that will get them going hopefully.

This is the best suggestion.

Refuse to leave unless (1) he performs his duty then and there (he can file online PACER, or (2) he returns all of your file to you with a full refund, and you will make a complaint to his bar association in any case. (3) Threaten to sue him in small claims Court for non-performance. (he won't want that on Public Record) 'Hub

yup, this is by far the best way. but, it's time consuming... when you are there, try to see the lawyer himself, don't let them pass the buck from paralegal to paralegal...

if you threaten a bar complain- that will light a fire.

If they keep telling you there are "emergencies" ask them for a specific date on when you will be filed.

Then tell them if you are not filed in ____ (maybe 2 weeks?) you will demand a full refund of money paid to him and file a compalint with the State Bar.

Just make sure you really are done with all filing requirements before doing any of this
