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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“practicing attorneys representing [Chapter 7] debtors ... must devise ways to obtain payment prior to the filing of the petition ... or make suitable alternative arrangements for financing post-petition services. While Chapters 11, 12, and 13 allow for estate payment of certain qualified professional fees, it is incumbent for Chapter 7 debtor’s counsel to not rely on estate assets to pay ... post-petition attorney’s fees. In re Kahler, 84 B.R. 721, 724 (Bankr.D.Colo.1988).”
