"Ohio Bankruptcy Attorneys"
All Ohio bankruptcy attorneys who regularly represent clients before federal courts must be licensed by the
Federal district. An exception is provided for out of town attorneys who may appear pursuant to a pro hac vice
admission, which must be approved on a cases by case basis.
| 11 U.S.C. §329(a): "Any attorney representing a debtor in a case under this title, or in
connection with such a case, whether or not such attorney applies for compensation under this title, shall file
with the court a statement of the compensation paid or agreed to be paid, if such payment or agreement was made
after one year before the date of the filing of the petition, for services rendered or to be rendered in contemplation
of or in connection with the case by such attorney, and the source of such compensation." |
Most Courts across the county, including Ohio bankruptcy Courts, require all cases to be filed
electronically. Electronic filing includes online submission and filing by diskette at the clerk's office. On
03-15-04 the Ohio Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District issued the following order: "Notice to Attorneys
Concerning Paper Filings: Any Attorney wishing to file a new petition or other document on paper, under
circumstances that are not governed by one of the exceptions to mandatory electronic case filing set forth in
Amended General Order 03-1, shall initially file a motion for leave to file on paper. The motion, which may be
filed via the mail or over the counter, shall be accompanied by an affidavit and proposed order. The affidavit
shall set forth the specific reasons that the filing cannot be made electronically."
