Yes, except for a very limited selection of family law cases. However, the attorney will wish death on you, and it would behoove you to use another attorney in the future

Can you file bankruptcy on a title loan when you don't owe money on it?

In the US, at least, you don't file bankruptcy against specific loans, you file bankruptcy in general. You do have to list all your assets and debts as a part of the filing. So, technically the answer is "no", but ignoring that for a moment, why on Earth would you want to do such a ridiculous thing as spend filing and attorney's fees on a debt you don't owe any money on? However, the fact that you have a loan you don't owe anything on (most people do) doesn't stop you from filing bankruptcy.
