Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]o this [claim], the Court responds that it should have been apparent, as a matter of common sense, that in the absence of at least exigent circumstances, a court of equity would likely not permit an attorney to take advantage of a debtor by putting him or her into a bankruptcy case both inappropriate from a strategic perspective (inter alia, in light of the discharge delay) and in which the debtor could not possibly succeed. No announcement of such a standard by this Court, by the District Court or by the First Circuit should have been necessary.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“unfortunately, these circumstances are quite common among those who require bankruptcy relief. And while the effect of that stress may have been significant, as it is for almost all debtors, it was apparently not so overwhelming for this debtor as to cause him to expedite his efforts to get the Chapter 13 case filed. The Debtor tolerated a 10-month delay in seeking the respite which is now claimed to have been so desperately required.”
