I am a bankruptcy attorney. To begin with 3200 is generally about a 1000 more than anyone I know is charging unless there are some extraordinary circumstances. Regarding the asset/no asset delineation, things happen.  It is possible that it was your mistake, the attorney's mistake or just something that was uncovered later.
