In re Outdoor RV & Marine LLC

Ruling
Attorneys' fees for services that were reasonable when rendered approved over creditor's objection.
Procedural posture

In a chapter 11 case that was converted to a chapter 7, the attorney who represented the debtor filed an application for final compensation. A creditor objected, claiming that the attorney had failed to establish that compensation was warranted under 11 U.S.C.S. § 330(a)(3)(C) and (F) and that his fees should at best be a chapter 11 administrative expense under 11 U.S.C.S. § 726(b).
