You can add attorney fees for services rendered that are due and owing to an attorney. i.e. you owe a family law attorney $3500 for a divorce that he handled for you and you can't make that payment or payments to your other creditors and decide to file bankruptcy, you can discharge the fees owed to him. If your bankruptcy attorney has even an ounce of bankruptcy knowledge he will have you pay him in full before filing your petition as any fees owed pre-petition (that is, before the case is filed) are discharged.
