North Carolina Chapter 7 Fee Application Guidelines --Revised:01/1998) provides guidelines to attorneys who wish to apply for payment of fees in Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. The guidelines are based on the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. These guidelines provide information on how to calculate and apply for fees, how to document services, and what information needs to be included in the fee application. There are two types of fee applications: one for services rendered before filing, and one for services rendered after filing. The guidelines also outline the fee application process, including requirements for payment and how to respond to objections to the fees.
