Application For Supplemental Allowance Of Attorneys Fees {LBF E}

LBF-E - APPLICATION FOR ALLOWANCE OF SUPPLEMENTAL ATTORNEY’S FEES. This form is filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland by a debtor’s attorney in a Chapter 13 case when the attorney seeks additional compensation for legal work that was not originally anticipated or included in the initial retainer agreement. These services must be considered extraordinary or outside the scope of routine representation, as defined in Appendix F of the Local Bankruptcy Rules. The application outlines the nature of the additional legal work, explains why it was necessary, and asserts that the fees and expenses incurred were reasonable and beneficial to the debtor and the bankruptcy estate. Supporting documentation, such as time records and a supplemental Rule 2016(b) disclosure, must be attached to justify the additional charges. The application also certifies that the debtor has been informed of the request and agrees with the proposed payment, either directly or through the Chapter 13 plan as an administrative expense. The attorney certifies service of the application on all relevant parties, including the trustee and other attorneys involved, ensuring transparency and compliance with court procedures. www.FormsWorkflow.com
