My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Michigan. My son filed for a bankruptcy about 1.5 yrs ago, when he was unable to make the payments on debts and overwhelmed by harassing letters and calls from creditors. He did not have enough money to hire an bankruptcy attourny so he filed on his own. He had been terminated from his employer of 12 years. A few months after he left his former job , some friends that still worked there called to inform him that there were other employees that had the same (policy violations) on at least two other occasions but were not let go, and that he should check into this as an discrimination toward him. So he called around just to try and see from a legal standpoint if he could get re-instated or backpay since he was unable to even collect unemployment while he was out of work. A lawyer that he called met with him and said he would look into it to see if he had any kind of case. Some time passed before the lawyer called him back to say that he had a 50/50 chance if he pursued it, however no suit had been filed yet. By August his bankruptcy was discharged, but it was not until December that he said they should file suit. Now shortly after that the company offered a 7500 settlement which his lawyer advised him not to accept.Upon refusal of the offer, the company then countered by claiming that this is a frivolous lawsuit. So a hearing was scheduled. However prior to the hearing information was gathered for the judge to review. As a result the judge noted that my son had a bankruptcy on file. So the lawyers secretary called him and said that the judge could dis-allow this case. When my son filed these bankruptcy papers he did not indicate he had any legal proceedings, because he had no clue that he would ever have one at that time, he was honestly just trying to make the best of a bad situation. So naturally after that phone call he now does not know what will happen. My question is , given that this truly was totally in-advertant and out of ignorance on his part ,not a blatant omission , from your experience what is likely to happen.
