Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

If you hired legal representatives to handle your bankruptcy, how long should it take them to fill out the forms and send it in? It now been two weeks since I paid the lawyer in full and still I have not received anything from them letting me know the paper work has been sent out- should I be worried ?
