Subject: [cdcbaa] Chapter 11 Problem Case
Not realizing what I was getting into, I filed an emergency Chapter 11 for a
client who I was representing in a civil state court matter. I thought that
I could simply pick up the basics but it has now gotten way out of hand. As
I did not get a pre-petition retainer, there does not appear to be anyway to
get paid (as far as I can tell) unless the plan is confirmed. Also, the two
Chapter 11 lawyers that I have consulted with and was hoping to co-counsel
or substitute in refused to touch it because of the lack of pre-petition
retainer. I'm debating what to do at this point. Needless to say, my good
client has turned into my worst client. She would be better served with
someone with more experience with this but the rules seem to make that very
difficult. Should I simply file a motion to withdraw? Is it worth going door
to door to Chapter 11 attorneys to see if any are interested in taking it
over? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Call my office. Set an appointment. Bring the client in with you. I will tell your client if the 11 is a waste of time, or something that may work If it will work, you will have to do a lot of work, but will get paid. If it is a dead case, maybe I can convince the client to dismiss.
