In re: Case No.21-11326-PDR

Ricardo Ruben Uliambre Pettengill Chapter 13

 Debtor /

APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

OR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES BY ATTORNEY FOR CHAPTER 13 DEBTOR

Applicant, Rachamin “Rocky” Cohen and Cohen Legal Services, was retained by 

the debtor to serve in this bankruptcy case as attorney for debtor. A copy of the retainer 

agreement is attached as Exhibit “A”. Pursuant to Local Rule 2016-1(B)(2) and the 

“Chapter 13 Fee Guidelines”, applicant hereby requests the Court to approve 

compensation and reimbursement of expenses as follows:

Hourly Fees Requested: $ 8,551.00

MMM Flat Fee $ 2,500.00 

Total Expenses to be Reimbursed: $ 243.20 

Amount Received To-Date: $ 1,498.00 

(exclusive of filing fees)

Amount to be Paid through Plan: $ 9,796.20 

1. The amount requested, if allowed, will be paid in full after 20 monthly

payments under the plan.

2. A detailed itemization of the services rendered to date with corresponding 

time entries and costs incurred is attached as Exhibit “B”.

3. Applicant estimates that an additional 1 hour will be required to be 

expended in providing legal services on behalf of the debtor(s) described below:

Preparing for and attending the December 2021 Confirmation Hearings, including 

Case 21-11326-PDR Doc 117 Filed 11/15/21 Page 1 of 16
responding to Lender’s objection to confirmation.

4. The following is a short statement of any unusual, troublesome or unique 

aspects of this case which resulted in or will result in more than the usual amount of time 

being expended and more than the usual amount of costs being incurred:

Debtor filed a Motion to Avoid Lien (“Motion”) which was objected to by the 

Judgement Creditor (“Creditor”). The Creditor filed a Response in opposition to the Motion 

which necessitated Debtor to file a Reply to the Creditor’s Response. The Court special 

set the Motion for hearing and set a briefing schedule on the underlying legal issue. 

Undersigned filed a Memorandum in favor of the Motion which required extensive legal 

research and time in drafting the Memorandum - as there is case law from the Southern 

District of Florida in favor of Creditor’s position in opposition of the Motion to Avoid Lien.

Debtor initially proposed to pay the HOA creditor direct and outside of the 

chapter 13 plan, but subsequently decided to pay the claim through his plan. There were 

several Notice of Payment Changes which required undersigned to negotiate postpetition fees with counsel for the HOA Creditor. Additionally, Debtor was denied a loan 

modification prior to confirmation which resulted in additional amended plan to be filed to 

cure and maintain the mortgage creditor.

5. The source of compensation previously paid to applicant was Debtor .

6. Applicant has not shared or agreed to share any compensation received in 

connection with the bankruptcy case with any person or entity other than a member or 

regular associate of applicant’s firm.
