Walton v. Clark & Washington PC

Plaintiff, the U.S. Trustee (UST) for Region 21, originally filed this miscellaneous proceeding seeking a declaration that the prepetition fee agreement defendant law firm used at the time, which depended upon the use of postdated checks for payment, was impermissible. The court agreed with the U.S. Trustee's position. The U.S. Trustee now sought a determination as to whether a new two-contract procedure used by the firm was permissible.
