lawyer bankruptcy fees
If I am working with a bankruptcy lawyer am I supposed to pay the whole fee first?
I am working with a bankruptcy lawyer?? He is inexpensive, but he is asking me to pay the whole $1600 before we have a meeting and go to court. Is this normal. I thought I would pay half and the rest after it is over with… How do I know if this is legit. I already gave him $200.
I realize I am filing bankruptcy but I have always been told never to pay the full amount of anything up front cause you can’t be sure you will be served.. Help to find out..
