Unfortunately, we see situations like this all too frequently. We get people who call us up and say basically, can you help us with our bankruptcy? The attorney we hired goofed up and now will not call us back. You would be shocked at how many times Kain & Scott gets this type of phone call. I feel bad for these people but I also wonder, had these good people spent a few more minutes researching Minnesota bankruptcy attorneys, could they have found someone better?
The first thing we tell people who call Kain & Scott and want our help fixing a problem created by another law office, is go back to your lawyer. You hired this lawyer to represent in your bankruptcy case. This means that until your bankruptcy case is closed with the bankruptcy court, your original lawyer still represents you. This is the person most familiar with your case and the one who should help you fix the problems.
But we feel for these people. They don’t know what else to do and when the original lawyer refuses to call them back or communicate with them, the lawyer is likely breaking rules of professional responsibility. In other words, if your original lawyer refuses to speak to you, and fails to reply to your communications, you should report your lawyer to the Minnesota Professional Responsibility board. We do not take this lightly but the contract you signed with your lawyer and the notice of responsibilities signed with you and the lawyer creates obligations for you both that must be kept.
Leaving a client in a lurch is not an option.
