MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
Upon consideration of the Chapter 13 Trustee’s Limited Objection to Attorney Fees, and
the court having conducted a hearing thereon February 6, 2007, and having carefully considered
the record and the argument of the parties, for the reasons described in the case of In re Antonio
Proctor, No. 06-13116, decided February 9, 2007, the court will enter an order allowing
compensation of $3,500.00 for all services rendered in this case to date. Of this allowed amount,
$926.00 was paid by the Debtor prior to the filing of the case. The Trustee shall pay forthwith, if
funds are available, the sum of $874.00 to the attorney for the Debtor. The balance of the
allowed compensation is to be paid by the Trustee to Debtor’s attorney at the rate of $100.00 per
month.
What is especially notable in this case is the lack of care shown by counsel in filing
Disclosures of Compensation at Docket Entries 3, 34 and 36. The first Disclosure Statement
reflected a total fee of $926.00, of which $2,624.00 was said to be deemed earned and due as of
the date of the first scheduled confirmation hearing. The second Disclosure Statement
substituted $3,824.00 for $926.00 and contained a laundry list of matters for which additional
charges were due, as well as an odd sentence referring to services rendered in excess of
$4,500.00. The distinction between the last two Disclosures of Compensation is not clear.
