Any Miami Chapter 13 bankruptcies attorney must disclose their fees for the court’s review and approval. No matter what you have agreed to with your lawyer, the judge has the right to review the fee arrangement to determine whether the amount is reasonable. If the court finds that the fee charged is excessive, it can order the attorney to refund all or a portion of the fee. To avoid having to review fees in every case, most courts have local rules or fee guidelines which set a "presumptively reasonable" or "no-look" fee amount for Chapter 13. Different courts use different terms but the meaning is the same. The court will generally not review the fees if the amount charged by the attorney is equal to or less than the presumptively reasonable or no-look fee.
