Article - Bankrupt clients turning lawyers into creditors
Jane Pribek

March 1, 2010
Last year’s historic rise in bankruptcy filings has resulted in more business for bankruptcy attorneys, but it also has meant more lawyers and law firms getting stiffed on their bills.

Bankruptcy basics

For starters, “There’s nothing special about attorneys, as far as being creditors in a bankruptcy case,” says Marie L. Nienhuis of Beck, Chaet, Bamberger & Polsky SC in Milwaukee.

Lawyers are subject to the automatic stay like every other creditor, and unpaid legal fees are typically treated as unsecured debts in bankruptcy. That means the attorney must file a claim just like any other unsecured creditor — and hope to eventually receive a disbursement.
