Only 3% make it to discharge if you do not prepare them. Almost all of my 13's go to discharge. Give them the once over. I even give them a copy of rule 3015. If they don't have income, don't put them in 13.

Also, on a side note which Im sure has been discussed before, I assume that Judge Bason is a former creditors attorney or creditor-friendly attorney. Are there any former individual debtors attorneys who are currently bk judges in the Central District? If not, why is that? In my case, Judge Bason requested that the trustee note the fact that my client had made double payments early in her chapter 13 plan and then had months without any payments. Thus, her disposable income may be higher than set forth in the plan. He also seemed willing to listen to a creditors attorneys philosophical argument that no chapter 13 plan which included family contributions should ever be confirmed because, in his experience, they all fail. Im not sure if thats true though Im still puzzled as to the real purpose of chapter 13 if only 3% ever make it to discharge. Anyway, just some thinks that I was pondering while sitting there for over 2 hours.

Unfortunately those procedures posted on the court's website don't answer
most of my questions. I didn't want anyone to get the idea I asked the
question without doing any research. I did read what was posted on the
Court's site.
Thanks

From his presumably self-written profile on linked-in, I would surmise that
he might never have handled a Chapter 13 case from the Debtor's side
before, if at all. I say that because I have a similar background to his
and I would not even be allowed by the partners/shareholders to accept a
Chapter 13 case while working for the types of firms for which he worked.

Judge Bason has a linkedin profile. I reproduce it below. I also pasted
the description of the practice at Howard Rice. However, I think his
"Interests" section in the linkedin profile is the most telling. With that
said, he did not seem unreasonable on Monday:
bankruptcy lawyer with 20 years' expericence
Specialties
Purchasing assets out of bankruptcy, executory contracts in bankruptcy,
bankruptcy appeals, directors' and officers liability in the zone of
insolvency, 1111(b) elections,

Judge Bason's 2:30 calendar didn't start until 4:30 on Monday. Also, on a
side note which I'm sure has been discussed before, I assume that Judge
Bason is a former creditor's attorney or creditor-friendly attorney. Are
there any former individual debtor's attorneys who are currently bk judges
in the Central District? If not, why is that? In my case, Judge Bason
requested that the trustee note the fact that my client had made double
payments early in her chapter 13 plan and then had months without any
payments. Thus, her disposable income may be higher than set forth in the

philosophical argument that no chapter 13 plan which included family
contributions should ever be confirmed because, in his experience, they all
fail. I'm not sure if that's true though I'm still puzzled as to the real
purpose of chapter 13 if only 3% ever make it to discharge. Anyway, just
