We are in a bankruptcy the bank wants 35000.00 by 3/23/16. We are waiting for a check from insurance but will not receive it for 2 weeks. We have 5000

It may be time for a fresh start in the form of a new lawyer who has a fresh perspective. As you owe the bank 35k, I assume you have been struggling for a while  and  your old attorney has spent a lot of time helping you. It may not be that your attorney does not want to help as the attorney  is simply worn out.  You will have to give some of the 5k to the new  attorney.   It also may just be that your attorney has done everything possible and there is no way to save the house if you do not pay by the 23d. He may not be responsive cause there is nothing he can do. You may want to be careful that the new attorney is likely to help you before giving a retainer.
