Representation After Conversion from Chapter 13 to
Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 9:55 am
In Chapter 13 we file a RARA if we charge the "no look" fee. In Chapter 7
we file a Limited Scope of Appearance.
They are not interchangeable, so I would argue that the RARA does not apply
in Chapter 7.

I reviewed the RARA and it only talks about the Chapter 13 case.
But it has various references to service the attorney is expected to provide "in the case".
In a different context, the Chapter 7 is the same "case" as the Chapter 13, ie has the same case number.
Does anyone think that the RARA requires the attorney to continue representing the client through the Chapter 7 case?
