Changing attorneys after 341 for adversary proceedings?

[alorth]

Supposedly, in my case, I have already paid in full for all my attorney will do in the case of our CH. 7 BK (assuming no Pres. of Abuse or adversary proceedings). Anything that comes up after the 341 (such as the Pres. of Abuse that just came up yesterday) that requires work will cost us extra.

So does that mean I could just as easily use another attorney...hypothetically speaking...in the adversary proceedings. I'm not saying its necessary or even smart....but if it was, could it be done? Is it done much?

Can our attorney refuse to represent us for the adversary proceedings for some reason...maybe they were going on vacation or something?

Yes, you could hire a different attorney to handle discrete issues that arise after filing, like AP's.

Yes, your attorney CAN refuse to represent you for an AP, it is a separate case with a separate case number, and I can practically gaurantee that if you look at the fee disclosure the attorney filed as part of your bankruptcy petition, it will specifically exclude representation in AP's and any other post filing contested matters (e.g. pres. of abuse).
