Many Consumer Debtors have a difficult time understanding how their attorney gets paid in a Chapter 13 case. So, today I want to discuss what is called an Application for Compensation. When you first meet with your attorney to retain them to represent you in your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case, you are retaining that lawyer for a period of three to five years depending upon the length of your case. You are also retaining them to not only manage the underlying case, but to provide ongoing counsel to you, and provide additional services that may give rise to their filing an application for compensation with the court in your case.
Here in the Central District of California, attorneys will enter into a fee agreement with their clients and most will also enter into a Rights and Responsibilities Agreement or “RARA.” However, the RARA is optional and some attorneys choose to charge only an hourly rate and will file an application for compensation with the court for managing the case from the start.
