Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

I won't keep answering if you keep aggrivating my brain with misused (or should I say mis used?) prefixes.
I don't answer if they don't agree to pay, but believe me, they get a long email about the rara. You'd be surprised how many times they write back something like, don't answer, I don't want to owe you more money.

I try to get the debtor to sign an instruction to counsel not to oppose. If the debtor instructs you to reply anyway, you have to make a motion to withdraw to avoid ethical conflict.

Most won't sign for frivolous answer, so you can write to client, if they won't sign an instruction not to reply, and say not answering because debtor won't pay.
