Chapter 13
ORDER ON DEBTORS' ATTORNEY FEE APPLICATION
This matter is before the court on the Debtors' Attorney's Fee Application. Upon
the court's review of the record, the time sheets provided by the applicant and taking into
consideration the unusual circumstances of this case, the court finds:
In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded, the court
considers the nature, the extent and the value of the services, taking into account all
relevant factors, including: the time spent on such services, the rates charged; whether
the services were necessary to the administration of and benefit of the case; whether the
services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the
complexity, importance and nature of the problem; and, whether the professional person
has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field. The court shall not allow
compensation of services that were not reasonably likely to benefit the debtors' estate.
The applicant described special circumstances that are considered in reviewing
this fee application that include resolution of the IRS levy and the change of the debtor's
employment. Applicant is experienced in the bankruptcy field but expended time
correcting one plan due to failure to comply with this court's local rules of which the

debtors should not pay for this mistake. It also appears from the time sheets that the
applicant spent excessive time on routine filing matters or matters that would be clerical
in nature. Therefore the applicant's request for fees shall be reduced by $250.00.
THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED, L Craig Clayton, is allowed fees of$2,750 and
$25.00 expenses, of which $2,225.00 shall be paid through the plan.
DATED this 4- day of July, 2008.
