Re: bankruptcy failure

Hello,

I can't give a certain answer to your question without more facts. If the error was yours, and you forgot to tell the attorney about that debt, there is likely nothing you can do. On the other hand, if the debt was not included because the lawyer made an error, then you still may not be able to remove the debt, but you could possibily recover your loss against the lawyer or his/her insurance. Without looking at your papers and learning more facts, I cannot provide a final opinion. Let me know if you need help or consult a local attorney. Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney
