    Default Can You Discharge Legal Fees in Bankruptcy

    So, as I was informed in this thread, if I were to file bankruptcy, my lawyer cant come after me for owed finances? Trust me, its not what I want to do. I wanted to pay him, but, he wants unacceptable terms after he violated my rights (as far as I am concerned) and I refuse to proceed with the case, so, he left me no options.

    On a personal injury contingency case, if bankruptcy is filed on my end, how many avenues does my lawyer have to sue me after? I know he can not sue for his billings, but, can he sue for punitive damages, mental physical (I am stretching here) damages, and, or, anything else?

    P.S. Admins, I was not sure if this was to go into Civil and or Bankruptcy forums as I did not know who would have the most understanding of such case and picked one. I apologize if it is in the wrong forum.
