What you owe your lawyer depends on your contract with him and the laws of whatever state you contracted his services in. It has nothing to do with bankruptcy law. If he is charging you on an hourly basis, then you will likely owe him or her money for the time they spent working on your behalf. Without more information there is no way I can answer your question. Have you tried asking your attorney if you will owe him/her any more money?
