Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Maryland

conversion from chpt13 to a chpt7

I need to know if I can personally file a petition to convert my chpt 13 to a chpt 7. My attorney is not responding to my request. I cannot afford another attorney. Is there a time frame at which you must remain in chpt 13 status? Which form do I use and how do I approach this issue?

Thank You,

Re: conversion from chpt13 to a chpt7

You can discharge your lawyer and do it yourself, but that would not be advisable. Even the decision as to whether to convert the case to a Ch. 7 or to dismiss the case and refile may have major implications as to what you can keep. If your lawyer won't help, get another lawyer.
