Wrong. Persons filing for bankruptcy have to pay their attorneys in advance or they don't get representation.

They are paid "up front" by the client filing. Depending on the State filed in, there are some ridiculous charges that go with filing. A friend of mine in Florida was told that he had to pay the State $2000 (some sort of tax) for a vehicle that was valued at $7000 if he wanted to keep it after the bankruptcy. It was paid off when bought 8 years previously. many people that are broke, can't afford to file.

I don't think you can use a check
I think mostly people put the charges on credit cards
if you don't have enough balance left for the bankruptcy, then maybe you are really in trouble
make sure you have bus money to get to the trial too
be sure to use the lower interest cards to pay the bankruptcy attourneys since they respect that sort of thing

The clients have to scrape up the money to file, but usually find it is worth it since once they file, are protected from creditors.

People acting for the bankrupt estate (private or corporate) are paid from the estate. They are the first claimant.
