If Chapter 11 gets dismissed or converted, can I still get my fees approved?
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:36 pm
I am not sure of the procedure in a Chapter 11 if it gets dismissed or
converted. (Has not yet happened, but ....)
1) If dismissed, do I need a court order to seek payment of my fees from
the client?
2) If converted to Chapter 7, can I just file my fee app? (I understand I
can't get paid from the estate for my representation in the Chapter 7.)
How do you handle in these cases? I know I need to get my fee app together
soon. I have not done interim fee applications. Was just going to do a
final one.
