I've now seen some firms asking for fees under the attorney fees provisions of their loan documents. Judge Thompson denied the requests.

I just got a standard MRS in a Ch. 7 case on real property that my debtor client is surrendering. In the motion, the attorney (Alvarado & Assoc) asks for fees and costs in the amount of $547 for preparing the motion.r awarding fees and costs on such a motion? Isnt this a dischargeable debt, or is this considered a post petition new debtwhich the debtor could be responsible for post discharge?
Thanks,
Mark
