My husband and I filed for Chapt 13 one month ago since I was laid off & out of work for 3 months. We have not gone to the mtg of creditors yet and now my husband just got laid off. We have no choice but to convert it to Chapt 7.

Our lawyer is demanding that we pay him another $2000.00 to convert it because apparently that was the money he would have gotten from the Chapt 13 payment plan. We already paid him $2500.00 and I feel that he mislead us b/c he originally said that if we had to convert it the fee would be very low. I live in Florida. Can you tell me if this is right? I feel like we are getting taken advantage of and I don't know what to do about it. He said we had to have the $ to him by this Friday or the case would be dismissed. Please help!!
 
Call some other bankruptcy attorney's from the phone book and ask them the fee for filing a cptr 7
