Chapter 13 Attorneys:
I have been doing an inordinate amount of Chapter 13 work in the last two years, and I usually charge the RARA amount. In one or two extraordinary circumstances I have done a fee application instead and it was granted. Those were cases where the additional work and benefit to the estate were obvious.
However, I am getting some cases that even at the drawing board are just convoluted and difficult. Yet it can be because of the way SCE does its paychecks, for example, and very peculiar client situations that would be difficult to communicate in a fee application. It just doesnt seem like some of the cases are worth doing for $4K.
I thought I heard a rumor that we may get an increase in the RARA amount. Is that true? How would we go about getting the RARA amount increased?
