The 90 days prior to filing are a "presumption" period. It is not a waiting period that clears one of all past fault.

A debt to the lawyer is discharged just like any other debt. Therefore, a lawyer, assuming it is a Chapter 7, must be paid in full before you file or the rest of the fee will die. Any lawyer that does not collect the entire fee before filing the case has to forget the rest of the money. Any lawyer that tries to collect a fee for services before filing the case is violating the automatic stay and later the discharge injunction. If services are provided after the case is filed, such as a motion to void a lien or do a reaffirmation, then that is a service after the case was filed and can be collected or the work is not going to be done. There are certain guidelines of services that must be provided by the attorney as part of the case fee and there are other services that need not be provided unless the client pays for those additional services when provided, All that should be specified in the contract you need to sign for the legal services and the disclosures you are required to file and that your lawyer must also file.
