pg asked:
My husband and I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2006. In 2006, I was working almost fulltime. I had to quit working because of an shoulder injury that I sustained from working as a nursing assistant in 2005. In preparation for filing the case, our attorney had us increase the withholding allowances so that we would not get a income tax refund. He also based our bankruptcy payments on the new withholding allowances. When we filed our taxes we noticed that we did not have enough on our W2 for 2007 Federal taxes. We are barely making ends meet now. I have mailed letters to our attorney, called, and even emailed our attorney with no response. We need to have our court payments reduced to include more money for federal taxes. Also, my income is included on the payments. I am about ready to fire my attorney and seek new representation. I’m paying over $2500 in attorney fees for a lawyer who will not help us. Any advice?
