Date of Decision:
December 28, 2000
Issue:
Whether Debtor's former attorney was entitled to requested compensation of $1,250 for services rendered before the meeting of creditors and the confirmation of a plan.
Ruling:
Court concluded that attorney was entitled to compensation of $800 for preparing the petition, schedules, statement of financial affairs, and the initial proposed plan and meeting with debtor. The case had a limited number of creditors and no complex issues. The fact that the debtor was not easy to work with did not warrant a higher fee under the terms of the attorney and debtor's fee arrangement.
