Best Answer

Bankruptcy attorneys will collect all money due to them prior to them filing the bankruptcy case in court because uncollected fees will be discharged.

If you're talking about unpaid attorney's fees for other legal matters, they will be discharged, unless the attorney has had you sign a lien on real estate or other collateral which has been perfected as required by state law.
