MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
This case came before the court upon the Application filed by Scott C. Borison and Legg
Law Firm, LLC, for allowance of compensation for a total of $8,300.00, of which $5,111.00 has
been paid by the Debtor. Counsel seeks $3,189.00 as a Chapter 13 administrative expense. Such
expenses are subordinate to administrative expenses incurred while the case is in Chapter 7.
11 U.S.C. § 727(b).
While this case could not be considered a success, it is self-evident that counsel has
rendered substantial benefit to the estate. Among other things, counsel was successful in having
the priority claim of Deborah Norris reduced from $27,250.00 to $7,500.00. In addition, counsel
performed substantial services throughout the duration of this case under Chapter 13, and, in
view of the proposed sale by the Chapter 7 Trustee of certain real estate, it appears as if there
will be a substantial distribution to creditors.
The Application will be allowed in full. An appropriate order will be entered.
