The debtor’s counsel filed a fee application for services rendered by him to his client in connection with a motion for relief filed by his client’s mortgagee within two weeks after the confirmation of a modified plan. The chapter 7 trustee objected. The Court concluded that counsel failed to carry his burden of proving that the legal services performed by him were actually necessary and that the case reflected a pattern of representation that was reactive rather than proactive. The Court thus denied the fee application.
