Crazy question right? But I've seen so many pro se filings on here, and I think I am well prepared for this is the reason I am asking. Here is the situation:
My attorney is just a deadbeat. If there is any way to officially file a grievance, complaint, etc. I will be sure to do that as soon as this is all over. We filed on June 4th, but the case was dismissed for non payment. We paid, but the attorney didnt pay the court. He blamed it on system glitch. The the motion to reconsider dismissal was denied (again, attorney fault). He did fork up his own (supposedly) $260 to get our case reopened and it finally did about a week ago. One thing I was concerned about is our 341 meeting date. Before it was dismissed it was scheduled for 7/14 (tomorrow). I assumed it would get rescheduled since it was just reopened, so I verified with the trustee and the court this morning that it IS still on for tomorrow. In the meantime, I get an email from my attorney saying that we are not on for tomorrow and he claims he double checked the docket report. So I called the trustee again, and lo and behold, they still have us on their schedule. In addition my attorney has not sent them my tax returns, pay stubs etc, that I already sent to him (well before his given deadline). Bottomline, I think my attorney is just trying to get out of going (maybe he is double booked or just not prepared) and was ready to try to get the meeting rescheduled before I caught him in his lie. He still has not responded to my request to see that docket.
So back to my question - is it required that he be there? If not, I am not going to waste my energy making sure he shows up.
