If my bankruptcy lawyer didn't ask me if I had a pending lawsuit or inform me of such a thing can my lawsuit be reopened if a judge refuses to give me a monetary award if I won my case?

Please don't change submitted or answered questions to new ones...it makes the data base of the answers incorrect. New Qs should be asked as such, or if a follow up, on the discussion page for the original.
As your entering into an area of blaming a lawyer, and hence making him responsible for your loss by his error...a tough and complex road to hoe I'm sure you'll agree...on every level.....one thing for sure, what the outcome would be is anyones guess. Don't be surprised if the attorney has a signed document from you acknowleging he asked, along with many other things, what you say he didn't. At the very least I would think that lawyer should comp you a researched explanation of what the Judge is actually doing in the lawsuit case.
And keep in mind, how much you care about pursuing it is a question, as again...the pre-petition nature of it would mean any award would have gone to your creditors to more fully compensate them for what you owed. And re-opening that...well that, if possible, that sounds pure ugly. You really have nothing to gain.

Does a lis pendens prevent foreclosure?
No, a lis pendens does not stop or prevent foreclosure at all. A lis pendens is a notice that the lender's attorneys may file in the land records to indicate that a particular property is in the process of a pending litigation. Various types of notice are filed in different jurisdictions to indicate a pending foreclosure.The term lis pendens is Latin for "lawsuit pending". The purpose of the notice is to show anyone researching the real estate that there is a pending lawsuit, any lawsuit that affects the property.The only legal mechanism that would prevent foreclosure is filing bankruptcy and this only puts the process on hold while the creditor and debtor are coming to an agreement to negotiate a settlement of the debt.
Is it legal to record a post foreclosure lis pendens by the foreclosed party. What if there is no pending lawsuit?
Since the purpose of a lis pendens is to alert future purchasers and/or mortgagees of a property about a lawsuit affecting the property, it cannot be filed in cases where there is no lawsuit. A lis pendens recorded with no reference to a pending lawsuit has no legal impact on the property and can be ignored.
