The answer to that last question was D
The attorney is required to file an affidavit noting that he or she has informed the client of the various forms of bankruptcy and their relief. This is a new requirement under the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act.
Under another new requirement, the attorney must reasonably review the filings for errors and omissions. While the attorney is not required to be a CPA and audit the materials, sufficient review to avoid abuse and misrepresentation is the guiding tenant of this requirement.
There is no obligation of an attorney to “guide” the debtor to use Chapter 11 or 13; however, the attorney must advise the debtor of the choices available. Nor is there a responsibility or obligation for an attorney to have different legal rates for different forms of bankruptcy filings.
