A debtor is in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He got help from a pro bono lawyer for the initial case but now that the repayment plan is in place the lawyer has withdrawn. Does he need a bankruptcy lawyer during this part of the case?

He has potential to need a lawyer, if a problem arises or if something happens during the case that he does not understand. Whether he wants to try to find a lawyer who will appear in the case, or a lawyer who might be available to answer questions as needed and appear only if necessary, is a matter of personal preference and economics.
