That's why you have to evaluate your cases carefully if you don't like working for free. I've been burned in Chapter 13s before and so I don't take on all potential clients. Our job is to clean up financial messes, but you need to ask yourself, is this mess too big, and are they likely to use an order of confirmation to get their act together or just mess up again?

This is the risk of a zero or low percentage plan. No money to pay the attorney fees for situations like this.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

What happens when debtor receives a Chapter 13 MFR that raises multiple issues tantamount to litigation and the debtor doesn tank. Is the attorney on the hook for working for free?

I think this may be controversial, but my short answer is "yes." There's no limited scope in 13.
