Advice & Court Legal Assistance In Chapter 7 Disputes

Help Finding Lawyers and Attorney Fee Guidelines

The Code is clear, bankruptcy courts must remain neutral and cannot provide any interested party with the appearance of legal assistance. Official instructions, court procedures and local rules apply equally to all parties, and are designed specifically to set forth requirements. Notice carefully when reading official instructions that although options are presented, no indication of the best choice is made. When legal disputes inevitably arise, the court and all court personnel are prohibited by law from providing any interested party with legal assistance, advice, or recommendations. Courts remain silent or order compliance. Little leeway exists between these two extremes.
