“Simply because an attorney spent time, does not mean it is compensable or that counsel used the most economical means of rendering the services.”
How later courts described this case
- “Simply because an attorney spent time, does not mean it is compensable or that counsel used the most economical means of rendering the services.”
- “The nature, extent and complexity of the task at hand determines the level of professional or paraprofessional who should perform the task, and, consequently, the reasonableness of the fees charged for the services.”
- “Section 330(a) is not coy about this matter, but states expressly that how much compensation is reasonable depends on the nature and value of the services, as measured by the cost of comparable services.”
- “time pressures not brought on by a lack of diligence, the excusable non-availability of a less experienced employee, or an inability to delegate the task efficiently, perhaps because the learning curve renders effective delegation infeasible”

O P I N I O N
Pending before the Court is the Amended Seventh Interim Application of Attorney for
Chapter 13 Debtor for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses (“Seventh Interim
Application”) that was filed on May 11, 2022, Dkt. # 149, by Debtors’ Counsel, Mr. Gary J.
Imblum, Esquire (“Counsel” or “Mr. Imblum”). Mr. Imblum seeks approval of $1,596.00 in
compensation and reimbursement of expense of $77.76 for the period from April 30, 2021 through
August 24, 2021. Also before the Court for review are Counsel’s six previous interim fee
applications, which, combined with the Seventh Interim Application, total $26,501.19, in what the
Court considers a “routine” Chapter 13 case in this District.
For the reasons stated below, the fee applications will be reduced and interim compensation
in the amount of $13,337.25 and reimbursement of expenses of $1,596.79 will be approved.
I. JURISDICTION
This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§157 and 1334 and the
March 11, 2016 Standing Order of Reference of the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania. This matter is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §157(b)(2)(A),
(B), and (O). Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1409(a).
II. PROCEDURAL HISTORY
At the outset of this case, Mr. Imblum filed his Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure
2016(b) Disclosure of Compensation on October 1, 2018. See Dkt. # 21. It reflected that Mr.
Imblum received from Debtors a pre-petition retainer in the sum of $1,585.00 and that he would
bill against the retainer at an hourly rate of $295.00, $235.00 for associate counsel, and $135.00
for paralegal time on a lodestar basis. Nothing in the record indicates if Counsel ever quoted an
estimated total fee to Debtors.
Mr. Imblum filed his first Application of Attorney for Chapter 13 Debtor for Compensation
and Reimbursement of Expenses (“First Interim Application”) on March 18, 2019, seeking
$7,901.75 in attorney’s fees and $729.44 in costs for the period July 6, 2018 through February 13,
2019. See Dkt. # 58.
Mr. Imblum filed six subsequent interim fee applications as follows:1
March 4, 2020 - $2,560.00 of fees and $97.05 in costs for February 4, 2019 to September
25, 2019 (“Second Interim Application”).2 See Dkt. # 81.
May 8, 2020 - $7,223.00 of fees and $235.35 in costs for September 26, 2019 to April 13,
2020 (“Third Interim Application”). See Dkt. # 105.
September 28, 2020 - $1,454.50 of fees and $104.85 in costs for April 14, 2020 to
September 9, 2020 (“Fourth Interim Application”). See Dkt. # 111.
January 26, 2021 - $1,863.00 of fees and $75.05 in costs for September 10, 2020 to
November 24, 2020 (“Fifth Interim Application”). See Dkt. #115.
1 Mr. Imblum billed fees for preparation of each of these Applications of an average of $408.00 each.
Additionally, Mr. Imblum billed costs of approximately $70.00 for each of these Applications.
2 There was some overlap between the First and Second Interim Applications, which was corrected with
the amended applications.
June 11, 2021 - $2,165.50 of fees and $277.94 in costs for November 25, 2020 to April 29,
2021 (“Sixth Interim Application”). See Dkt. # 125.
November 8, 2021 - $1,736.00 of fees and $77.76 in costs for April 30, 2021 to August 24,
2021 (“Seventh Interim Application”). See Dkt. # 131.
Each of these applications, exclusive of the Seventh Interim Application, were approved
on an interim basis.3 See Dkt. #s 59, 94, 108, 112, 118, & 126. In total, the seven applications
seek a staggering $24,903.75 in compensation and $1,597.44 in expenses, and because the case
hasn’t been completed yet, the Court assumes Counsel will seek approval of additional
applications.
Upon review of the Seventh Interim Application4 and taking into account the six previous
applications, the Court issued an Order to Mr. Imblum to show cause why his applications for
compensation should be approved based upon, inter alia, the standards as set forth in In re Busy
Beaver Building Centers, Inc., 19 F.3d 833 (3d Cir. 1994). See Order, dated February 24, 2022,
Dkt. # 140.
On April 21, 2022, the Court held a hearing on the applications, where Mr. Imblum
appeared but Debtors did not. At the conclusion of the hearing, the matter was taken under
advisement and Mr. Imblum indicated that he would submit amended applications based upon the
3 This case was previously assigned to Judge Robert N. Opel, II, until his retirement, and then to Chief
Bankruptcy Judge Henry W. Van Eck. This case was reassigned to the undersigned Judge upon
appointment to the bench on July 30, 2021. See Dkt. # 127. It is worth noting that the Fee Applications
taken separately may not appear excessive but when taken together and totaling over $25,000 on an interim
basis, they are, for the reasons set forth below, clearly excessive in this routine case.
4 The Court is also not aware of a “routine” consumer bankruptcy case in this District having seven interim
fee applications and possibly more to come.
concerns addressed at the hearing. Accordingly, Mr. Imblum filed amended applications on May
11, 2022 (collectively “Amended Fee Applications”):
First Amended - $7,278.25 of fees, a reduction of $623.50. See Dkt. # 143.
Second Amended - $1,841.50 of fees, a reduction of $718.50. See Dkt. # 144.
Third Amended - $6,599.00 of fees, a reduction of $624.00. See Dkt. # 145.
Fourth Amended - $1,131.50 of fees, a reduction of $323.00. See Dkt. # 146.
Fifth Amended - $1,763.50 of fees, a reduction of $99.50. See Dkt. # 147.
Sixth Amended - $1,885.50 of fees, a reduction of $280.00. See Dkt. # 148.
Seventh Amended - $1,596.00 of fees, a reduction of $140.00. See Dkt. # 149.
The amendments reduced the total requested compensation by $2,808.50. This brought the total
requested compensation for Amended Fee Applications down to $22,095.25.
While the Amended Fee Applications were under advisement, Mr. Imblum withdrew the
Amended Fee Applications (except for the Seventh Amended), without explanation. See Dkt. #
158 – 163. Not knowing the impetus for withdrawal of the amended applications and choosing
not to speculate on whether Counsel was abandoning any further claim for fees, the Court set a
status conference. See Dkt. # 164. At the status conference, Counsel indicated that he withdrew
the amended fee applications because he had stopped receiving payments from the Chapter 13
Trustee under the plan due to the fee applications being under advisement by the Court.5
5 The Chapter 13 Trustee’s records indicate that to date, Debtors have paid into the estate a total of
$77,470.66 and Mr. Imblum has been paid $19,954.28 from these funds.
Mr. Imblum subsequently refiled the Amended Fee Applications (First through Six) on
March 24, 2023. See Dkt. # 166 – 171. The Amended Fee Applications are ripe for disposition.6
III. THE BANKRUPTCY CASE
Given the substantial interim fee requests of Counsel, it is beneficial to outline the facts
and circumstances in this routine Chapter 13 case in order to determine whether there is any basis
for the payment of these extraordinarily high fees.
Debtors Jessie and Taheesha Thomas initiated this bankruptcy case by filing a voluntary
Chapter 13 petition on August 2, 2018. After two extensions of time, Debtors filed their schedules,
statements, and other required documents, including their Chapter 13 plan, on October 1, 2018.
See Dkt. #s 21 & 24.
According to Schedule A/B, Debtors own a single-family home in Allentown,
Pennsylvania and four vehicles, all encumbered with secured debt. See Dkt. # 21. Debtors listed
$441,011.94 in secured debt and $68,139.32 in unsecured debt with $20,315.00 being attributed
to student loans. See Id. As per Schedules I and J, Debtors are wage earners, with one employed
as a leasing agent and the other employed over the winter months performing snow removal. Id.
Debtors also receive a monthly stipend for a disabled brother ($3,000) and contributions from
various family members who reside with Debtors.7 Schedule I reflects a combined monthly
6 In a different Chapter 13 case where Mr. Imblum was counsel for the debtor, the Court reduced his fees
by 30% finding that the excessive billing of almost $10,000 on an interim basis was for services that were
either non-billable administrative tasks, should have been billed at non-attorney rates, and/or for excessive
time billed for certain tasks. See In re Grove, No. 5:20-0698-MJC, Dkt. # 56.
7 Counsel indicated that this is a household of nine. See April 21, 2022 Transcript at 8, Dkt. # 152. Schedule
J indicates that Debtors’ dependents are three minor children, two adult children and two siblings. Notably,
the Schedules do not indicate any income information for the adult “dependents” other than the stipend and
the voluntary contributions listed on Schedule J.
income in the amount of $11,183.13. After deducting expenses, Debtors report a monthly net
income of $1,598.68. This net income would be the amount available to fund Debtors’ Chapter
13 Plan.
According to Mr. Imblum, the bankruptcy case was filed because Debtors were several
months behind on their mortgage and on two of their vehicle loans. See 4/21/22 Tr. at 8;
Supplement to Seventh Fee Application at 1, Dkt. # 151. The case was intended to also address
excessive interest rates on one or more of the vehicles and to cramdown the values in the plan. Id.
Throughout the case, according to the testimony of Mr. Imblum, Debtors changed their minds on
the treatment of the vehicles causing numerous amended plans to be filed. See 4/21/22 Tr. at 8. It
appears as though almost every time the plan was amended, Counsel would file a request for
compensation.
The initial Chapter 13 plan provided, inter alia, to cure mortgage arrears to Lakeview Loan
Servicing, LLC (“Lakeview”), pay the debts in full through the plan for two vehicles, a 2013
Mercedes S550 and a 2008 Cadillac Escalade, and cramdown Debtors’ other two vehicles, a 2012
Mercedes E350 and a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. Debtors proposed to pay $1,600.00 per month over
55 months, for a total of $88,000.00, which included $6,000.00 in arrears on their home mortgage.
See Dkt. # 24. Three creditors lodged objections to the initial Chapter 13 plan. See Dkt. #s 32,
42, & 43.
In response to the objections, Debtors filed an Amended Plan on January 4, 2019. After
entering into a stipulation with Lakeview regarding its objection to the Amended Plan, the Court
confirmed the Amended Plan on March 7, 2019 (“Confirmed Plan”). Dkt. # 57. Under the
Confirmed Plan, Debtors were obligated to pay $1,650.00 per month to the Chapter 13 Trustee to
address, inter alia, arrears on Debtors’ mortgage to Lakeview. The total base amount under the
Confirmed Plan was $89,050.00.
Since confirmation of the Amended Plan, Counsel has filed six motions to modify the
confirmed plan, which are briefly described below. See Dkt. #s 80, 97, 114, 119, 128, & 132.
By August 2019, Debtors were three months in arrears to the Chapter 13 Trustee in the
amount of $4,950.00. See Dkt. # 60. Then, in November 2019, Lakeview filed a motion for relief
from automatic stay asserting arrears of $8,746.85. See Dkt. # 68. The First Motion to Modify
Confirmed Plan was filed on March 4, 2020 to cure the arrears to the Trustee and Lakeview, to
surrender the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu to Ally Financial and 2012 Mercedes E350 to
AmeriCredit/GM Financial, and to include attorney’s fees and costs through September 25, 2019.8
See Dkt. # 80.
The First Motion to Modify was mooted before the Court could consider it by Debtors’
Second Motion to Modify which was filed on April 8, 2020. Dkt. # 97. The Second Motion to
Modify was filed to correct typographical errors in the proposed Second Amended Plan. The Court
granted the Second Motion to Modify. See Order, entered May 6, 2020; Dkt. # 104.9
Debtors filed their Third Motion to Modify on January 26, 2021. Dkt. #114. The purpose
of this proposed modification was to extend plan payments for a full sixty months, surrender the
2008 Cadillac Escalade to OneMain Financial, and to include attorney’s fees and costs through
September 8, 2020. The Court granted the Third Motion on February 22, 2021. Dkt. # 118.
8 Counsel filed his Second Interim Fee Application on the same day. Dkt. # 81.
9 Counsel filed his Third Interim Fee Application two days later. Dkt. # 105. This included fees of $271.50
for preparation of Fee Application and costs of $64.35 to serve it.
Less than a month later on March 18, 2021, Debtors filed their Fourth Motion to Modify.
Dkt. # 119. This modification sought to take advantage of the relief available under the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act as a result of the pandemic.
According to the Fourth Motion, Debtors experienced significantly reduced income and proposed
to extend the plan term to eighty-four months. The proposed plan also adjusted the amount paid
to AmeriCredit/GM Financial and include attorney’s fees and costs incurred through November
24, 2020. The Fourth Motion was granted on April 13, 2021. Dkt. # 121.
Debtors filed a Fifth Motion to Modify on September 3, 2021. Dkt. # 128. This motion
was filed because Debtors reversed course on surrender of the 2008 Cadillac Escalade and sought
to cramdown the value of the vehicle.10 The Fifth Motion was granted without objection. Dkt. #
129. A couple of months later, in November 2021, Debtors sought to amend the plan for the sixth
time. See Dkt. # 132.
The Sixth Motion to Modify included attorney’s fees and costs incurred through August
24, 2021, eliminated the pre-petition arrears to Lakeview because a loan modification had been
granted, and corrected the amount paid to AmeriCredit/GM Financial. The Sixth Motion was
granted on January 5, 2022. Dkt. # 137. The base amount for the Seventh Amended Plan was
$100,314.76.
It is significant to note that there have been no claims litigation or adversary proceedings
filed in this case and from the docket it does not appear as though counsel ever appeared in Court
for any hearing other than remotely through Courtcall or Zoom.
10 Counsel indicated that two vehicles were totaled during the case and Debtors were undecided whether
to purchase at least one of the vehicles from the salvage company and have it repaired. See 4/21/23 Tr. at
14-16; Exhibit at 3, 5-6, Dkt. # 141.
IV. LEGAL STANDARD
Under the Bankruptcy Code, compensation of professionals is governed by Section 330.
In Chapter 13 cases, the Court may award “reasonable compensation” to debtor’s counsel, taking
into account “the nature, the extent, and the value of such services.” 11 U.S.C. §330(a)(3). Under
§330(a)(3), the Court must consider:
(A) the time spent on such services;
(B) the rates charged for such services;
(C) whether the services were necessary to the administration of, or
beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered toward the
completion of, a case under this title;
(D) whether the services were performed within a reasonable
amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance,
and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed;
(E) with respect to a professional person, whether the person is
board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience
in the bankruptcy field; and
(F) whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary
compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases
other than cases under this title.
11 U.S.C. §330(a)(3)(A)-(F).
Also relevant in Chapter 13 cases is Section 330(a)(4)(B), which governs the circumstances
where an attorney provides services that benefit the debtor, rather than the bankruptcy estate. It
provides:
In a chapter 12 or chapter 13 case in which the debtor is an individual, the court
may allow reasonable compensation to the debtor’s attorney for representing the
interests of the debtor in connection with the bankruptcy case based on a
consideration of the benefit and necessity of such services to the debtor and the
other factors set forth in this section.
11 U.S.C. §330(a)(4)(B). Thus, in order for attorney services to be compensated from the
bankruptcy estate, those services must: “1) be provided to an individual debtor; 2) be provided ‘in
connection with’ a Chapter 12 or Chapter 13 case; 3) benefit the debtor; 4) be necessary to the
debtor; and 5) otherwise be appropriate under the terms of § 330.” In re Pochron, 2022 WL
1085459, at *4 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 2022) (citing In re Hunt, 588 B.R. 496, 499 (Bankr. W.D. Mich.
2018)).
Generally, courts have construed the phrase “in connection with the bankruptcy case”
broadly. See Pochron, 2022 WL 1085459, at *4 (collecting cases). Thus, Section 330(a)(4)(B)
“may include services related to the precipitating cause of the bankruptcy, or services which are
inextricably intertwined with the bankruptcy.” In re Keller Fin. Servs. of Fla., Inc., 248 B.R. 859,
879 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2000). However, the phrase “in connection with the bankruptcy case” is
not so broad as to cover “every service rendered to a person who is a debtor.” In re Campbell, 259
B.R. 615, 626 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2001).
For requests for compensation, the burden of proof rests on the applicant to establish that
the fees earned are reasonable. Zolfo, Cooper & Co. v. Sunbeam-Oster Co., 50 F.3d 253, 261 (3d
Cir. 1995) (citing In re Metro Transp. Co., 107 B.R. 50, 53 (E.D. Pa. 1989)); Pochron, 2022 WL
1085459, at *2; In re Murray, 2007 WL 2317523, at *2 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2007). “This burden is
not to be taken lightly, especially given that every dollar expended on legal fees results in a dollar
less that is available for distribution to the creditors or use by [the] debtor.” In re Pettibone Corp.,
74 B.R. 293, 299 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) (citing In re Hotel Associates, Inc., 15 B.R. 487, 488
(Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1981)). Even in the absence of objection, “the bankruptcy court has a duty to
review fee applications.” In re Busy Beaver Bldg. Centers, Inc., 19 F.3d 833, 841 (3d Cir. 1994)
(emphasis in original).
In determining a reasonable fee, the calculation most frequently used is the lodestar
method, which, simply stated, multiples the number of expended hours by the hourly rate. In re
Smith, 331 B.R. 622, 628 (Bankr. M.D. Pa. 2005) (citing Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 433
(1983)). Under the lodestar, courts frequently assess whether the services were provided in a cost-
efficient manner. See In re Szymczak, 246 B.R. 774, 782 (Bankr. D. N.J. 2000) (“Simply because
an attorney spent time, does not mean it is compensable or that counsel used the most economical
means of rendering the services.”).
A bankruptcy court has “broad discretion” to determine reasonable attorneys’ fees, as the
“bankruptcy court is more familiar with the actual services performed and has a far better means
of knowing what is just and reasonable than an appellate court can have.” In re ASARCO, L.L.C.,
751 F.3d 291, 294 (5th Cir. 2014) (citing In re Lawler, 807 F.2d 1207, 1211 (5th Cir.
1987) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)); Smith, 331 B.R. at 628.
Courts also look to ensure that an applicant has delegated tasks that do not require a senior
attorney’s expertise to less expensive attorneys or paralegals, Szymczak, 246 B.R. at 783, and that
administrative tasks are billed at appropriate rates, see Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 855 (“[w]hen an
experienced attorney does clerk’s work, he or she should be paid clerk’s wages”) (quoting In re
Vogue, 92 B.R. 717, 718 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 1988)). Tasks such as “obtaining hearing dates, filing
pleadings, copying, exhibit preparation, forwarding documents, preparing a certificate of service
and ordering a transcript” are clerical in nature, can be accomplished by non-lawyers, and
consequently, should be billed at paralegal or office staff rates. In re Oakes, 135 B.R. 511, 514
(Bankr. N.D. Ohio 1991). This type of review is necessary so that the costs of administration do
not consume assets that otherwise would be available to creditors. See Badyrka, 2022 WL
4656034, at *10 (Bankr. M.D. Pa. 2022) (citing In re Fontaine, 2015 WL 5162557, at *3 (Bankr.
M.D. Pa. 2015)).
The bottom line is that attorneys are expected to exercise reasonable billing judgment. See
Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 856; Szymczak, 246 B.R. at 783. This involves “writing off unproductive
research time, duplicative services, redundant costs precipitated by overstaffing, or other expenses
with regard to which the professional generally assumes the cost as overhead in corresponding
non-bankruptcy matters.” Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 856.
In reviewing fee applications, the court must “conduct an objective inquiry based upon
what services a reasonable lawyer or legal firm would have performed in the same circumstances.”
In re Fleming Companies, Inc., 304 B.R. 85, 89 (Bankr. D. Del. 2003) (quoting In re Cenargo
Int’l, PLC, 294 B.R. 571, 595 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2003)) (internal quotations omitted). A “judge’s
experience with fee petitions and his or her expert judgment pertaining to appropriate billing
practices, founded on an understanding of the legal profession, will be the starting point for any
analysis.” Id. (citing Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 854). The Court should then consider any evidence
submitted with the application or at a hearing. Id. When making its consideration, the court is not
required to make a line-by-line analysis of the fee application, and a sampling will suffice. In re
Maruko Inc., 160 B.R. 633, 645 (Bankr. S.D. Cal. 1993). “Because its time is precious, the
reviewing court need only correct reasonably discernible abuses, not pin down to the nearest dollar
the precise fee to which the professional is ideally entitled.” Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 845.
Additionally, a fee applicant’s failure to exercise billing judgment will result in reduction
of fees where, in the sound discretion of the bankruptcy court, such fees are unreasonable. In re
Maxine’s, Inc., 304 B.R. 245, 249 (Bankr. D. Md. 2003). “The exercise of billing judgment is the
voluntary reduction of a fee by counsel to a private client for services that either conferred a
negligible benefit or were excessive.” Id. (citing In re Leonard Jed Co., 103 B.R. 706, 713 (Bankr.
D. Md. 1989)). “Such billing judgment is an absolute requirement of fee applications in
bankruptcy.” Maxine’s, 304 B.R. at 249.
Judge France, in evaluating a fee application, stated “[a] bankruptcy court must balance
adequately compensating attorneys in order to encourage competent counsel to represent
bankruptcy debtors with insuring that the costs of administration do not consume assets that
otherwise would be available to creditors. In making a fee determination, the court must take into
consideration whether the professional exercised ‘reasonable billing judgment.’” Fontaine, 2015
WL 5162557, at *3 (citation omitted). “The court’s responsibility to protect the estate is especially
important in chapter 13 cases where there is little motivation for a debtor, or creditors, to object to
a particular fee allowance.” Id. (quoting Szymczak, 246 B.R. at 778).
V. DISCUSSION
“Disagreeable as the chore may be, the bankruptcy court must protect the estate, lest
overreaching attorneys or other professionals drain it of wealth which by right should inure to the
benefit of unsecured creditors.” Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 844 (citing Cohen & Thiros, P.C. v. Keen
Enterprises, Inc., 44 B.R. 570, 573 (N.D. Ind. 1984)). This Court approves without comment or
objection the vast majority of fee applications that come before it. However, where an application
(or applications) appears to be so unreasonable, the Court is obligated to review the professional’s
charges.
Here, the primary reason why Counsel’s fee applications were set for hearing was because,
based upon the lack of any adversarial or novel legal work in this case appearing on the docket,
the aggregate fees are extraordinarily higher than standard charges for similar cases in this District
and more than five times the amount of the presumptively reasonable fee (“PRF”) of $4,500.00,
see L.B.R. 2016-2(c), for Chapter 13 cases in this District (the PRF also allows a maximum amount
of $500.00 for each post-confirmation plan modification).11 The Court acknowledges that the
instant case is not one in which Counsel has chosen to utilize the presumptively reasonable fee
method for billing and practitioners are under no obligation to employ the PRF. However, as this
Court has previously stated, it considers the PRF as a guide or “starting point” to what should be
considered a reasonable fee in a routine Chapter 13 case in this District. See Badyrka, 2022 WL
4656034, at *6 (citing In re Schuman, 2013 WL 1195279, at *6 (Bankr. N.D. N.Y. 2013)
(describing presumptive fee as “pre-calculated lodestar” and utilizing it as a starting point for
review of lodestar fee applications)). It is Counsel’s burden to support the “reasonableness” of
billing over five (5) times the PRF in this case.
The fee applications were also set for hearing to determine the reasonableness of billing at
an attorney’s hourly rate for administrative tasks that are in nature routine, ministerial, secretarial
or paralegal time. As discussed below, Mr. Imblum’s billing in this “routine” case appears to be
grossly excessive compared to other practitioners in this District and, for the amount of fees
charged, appears to have had little benefit to the Bankruptcy Estate, and the benefit to Debtors is
questionable.12
11 The PRF is an alternative method of billing that recognizes that generally speaking, many services
rendered in Chapter 13 cases are “standard,” and therefore, streamlines the billing process by forgoing
formal fee applications and hearings.
12 The Court notes that on October 5, 2023, Lakeview filed a certificate of default indicating that Debtors
were two months in arrears on their mortgage payment. Dkt. # 182.
A. Hourly Rate/Delegation of Duties
At the outset, the Court states that it has no issue with Mr. Imblum’s competence in Chapter
13 cases, as it finds that he satisfactorily and adequately represents his clients in bankruptcy cases.
Furthermore, the Court believes his hourly rate of $295 appropriately reflects Mr. Imblum’s
experience and skill as an attorney13 and is reasonable for consumer bankruptcy practitioners in
this District. Mr. Imblum employs three paralegals, all of whom have in excess of 18 years of
experience. See 4/21/22 Tr. at 29-30; Supplement at 1-2. The billing rate of $135 per hour is also
reasonable for paralegals in this District. Based upon these facts, Mr. Imblum and his office staff
should be able to represent debtor clients in an efficient and effective manner.
Notwithstanding and as stated above, the Third Circuit has instructed that as part of
assessing the reasonableness of compensation, the Court must consider whether a particular task
has been assigned to the appropriate professional or paraprofessional. See Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d
at 855 (“Section 330(a) is not coy about this matter, but states expressly that how much
compensation is reasonable depends on the nature and value of the services, as measured by the
cost of comparable services.”); accord In re Jefsaba, Inc., 172 B.R. 786, 796-97 (Bankr. E.D. Pa.
1994) (“The nature, extent and complexity of the task at hand determines the level of professional
or paraprofessional who should perform the task, and, consequently, the reasonableness of the fees
charged for the services.”).
At the April 21st hearing, the Court addressed this issue with Counsel, as well as whether
certain time entries might be considered non-billable administrative tasks. See 4/21/22 Tr. at 20-
21. Counsel revised the Fee Applications in an effort to address these concerns and resubmitted
13 Mr. Imblum has been practicing for 36 years. 4/21/22 Tr. at 29.
them. The Court finds that the amendments have not adequately addressed certain time entries
which the Court has determined to be not reasonable.
In reviewing the time detail, it is exceedingly apparent that there are numerous time entries
where Mr. Imblum or his associate is billing at his full attorney rate but the particular task could
very well be handled by a paralegal. Below are a few examples:
12/11/18 Call from Lakeview counsel Re: Will not GJI .2 $295.00 $59.00
oppose continuance
12/11/18 Email to counsel for GM inquiring JT .2 $235.00 $47.00
whether he would agree to continue
confirmation hearing in light of unresolved
objection.
12/18/18 Review of file Re: Settlement offer made GJI .2 $295.00 $59.00
to GM/AmeriCredit; Email to counsel
Re: Please respond to offer.
12/18/18 Review of Email from counsel for GM GJI .2 $295.00 $59.00
- accepting settlement offer.
2/11/19 Review of Email from Trustee Re: Will GJI .1 $295.00 $29.50
recommend for confirmation on 2/20/19
if no objections filed.
What should be clear from these examples is that items such as communications between counsel
regarding continuances do not require the skill or training of a lawyer and should not be billed at
a full attorney rate. A paralegal is perfectly capable of discussing a continuance or receiving
information that the Trustee will recommend a plan for confirmation and should be billed
accordingly. See In re Wilson, 2022 WL 24058, at *28 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 2022) (“where a senior
lawyer seeks to be compensated as such for tasks that could well have been performed by a junior
lawyer or a paraprofessional, then an appropriate adjustment may need to be made”). Counsel
should be mindful that if a task requires analysis or action by an attorney, only then should it be
billed at full attorney rates.14
Even though it is not required to conduct a line-by-line analysis, this Court has done so.
See Appendix. As indicated on the Appendix, the Court has made determinations, based upon its
experience not only as a Judge in this District reviewing other attorney fee applications, but also
based upon being a former Chapter 7 Trustee and practicing in this District for thirty (30) years.
See Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 854 (“…a bankruptcy judge’s experience with fee petitions and his or
her expert judgment pertaining to appropriate billing practices, founded on an understanding of
the legal profession, will be the starting point for any analysis.” (emphasis in original)). The Court
has identified those time entries that have been reduced to a reflect an appropriate paralegal rate.
These times entries are denoted with a “P”.
B. Excessive Time Billed to Tasks
Although Chapter 13 cases can be complex and require a competent attorney’s expertise,
Chapter 13 cases are almost exclusively filed using standardized forms that are a part of a
bankruptcy software program. These forms include the petition, schedules, statement of financial
affairs and means test. The Chapter 13 Plan is a five (5) page standardized “Model Plan” approved
to be used in this District. The financial calculations required in a Chapter 13 case such as the
means test (Forms 122C-1 and 2) and the Chapter 13 plan are largely done automatically through
the software program. After the filing of the case, a skilled paralegal utilizing the bankruptcy
14 Of course, this is subject to the types of exceptions Busy Beaver identified. 19 F.3d at 855 (“time
pressures not brought on by a lack of diligence, the excusable non-availability of a less experienced
employee, or an inability to delegate the task efficiently, perhaps because the learning curve renders
effective delegation infeasible”).
software program should be able to handle most of the tasks involved in making adjustments to
the plan with minimum input from counsel and minimum time required.
Despite this, Counsel’s Applications requested almost $25,000 (prior to amendment) and
covers only the period up to August 24, 2021. It is difficult for this Court to comprehend how
these unreasonably large fees can be incurred in a routine case, much less how these struggling
Debtors, if they were paying these fees directly, could afford them.15 Debtors’ plan has blossomed
from $88,000 (Dkt. # 24) to $100,314.76 (Dkt. # 132).16
This case was filed as an emergency petition so there is relatively little time billed in the
pre-petition period. The case was confirmed just over seven months after the Petition Date. During
that timeframe, Counsel billed just under $8,000. This means that in the post-confirmation period
– which covers March 2019 to August 2021, Counsel racked up an eye-watering $16,900. This is
for a nearly two and a half year period where most Chapter 13 cases are on “autopilot” and do not
require much effort on the part of Counsel. However, it is only upon closer review of the time
detail that it becomes apparent that Counsel and his paralegal staff severely and consistently
overworked this case. Mr. Imblum’s billing practices are reminiscent of the Court’s observations
in Szymczak, 246 B.R. at 783:
In reviewing Applicant’s time records, it appears the Debtors were billed every time
Applicant picked up the telephone, uttered the Debtors’ name, or looked at the
Debtors’ case; even where nothing meaningful occurred. More importantly, time
15 As stated in Busy Beaver, in most cases and particularly in a Chapter 13 such as this case, (i) the debtor
has no real incentive to object to his or her counsel’s fees since he or she is obligated to pay a fixed monthly
payment based upon a determination of his or her disposable income; and (ii) creditors have no incentive
since the cost-benefit of contesting the fees would not warrant a small pro-rata increase in plan distribution
amount, Busy Beaver, 19 F.3d at 843.
16 The last plan would have been about $17,000 more but Debtors were successful in obtaining a loan
modification. See Dkt. # 139.
was billed at full attorney rates where the work could, and should have been
performed by a secretary or a paralegal. This court is highly skeptical of this
practice, and especially discourages it in chapter 13 cases.
It’s clear from the time records that Mr. Imblum exercised little billing judgment. Furthermore,
it’s evident that Mr. Imblum and his staff were heavy handed in billing on most matters. For
example:

With regard to these types of time entries, it very difficult to understand for instance, how
a paralegal with over 20 years experience requires 12 minutes to draft a simple letter to the client
enclosing something for review – especially when it is very likely that staff is utilizing a form letter
that has already been addressed to those clients and requires little modification. The Amended
Fee Applications have many “.2” entries for very simple tasks that should take only a few minutes
at most and therefore, the Court has reduced those time entries. See In re Trinh, 2022 WL 898758,
at *4 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2022) (“[E]ven where evidence supports [that] a particular number of hours
[were] worked, the court may give credit for fewer hours if the time claimed is ‘excessive,
redundant, or otherwise unnecessary.’” (citing Wechsler v. Macke International Trade, Inc. (In re
Macke International Trade, Inc.), 370 B.R. 236, 254 (BAP 9th Cir. 2007))).
Furthermore, the Court questions the unusual need for six modifications to a plan in a two
year period. The Court acknowledges that according to Mr. Imblum, Debtors were indecisive
regarding their four vehicles (2 of which had no equity above loan balances),17 however, it’s
questionable whether Counsel should have indulged Debtors in pursuing what appears to have
resulted in minimal benefit. It appears that Counsel and his staff expended approximately $1,500
in time18 on discussing with his clients, drafting, and confirming the amended plans in this case.
This equates to 5 hours at Mr. Imblum’s hourly rate.19 Yet, comparing the changes between the
17 Although not before the Court, it is not clear why Debtors, while experiencing financial difficulties,
would incur thousands of dollars of legal fees trying to maintain 2 Mercedes Benz automobiles and a
Cadillac Escalade with minimal equity, if any.
18 This amount has already been reduced due to excessive time spent on particular matters and is not
indicative of the actual amount expended.
19 Taking into account that plans are on pre-printed forms that are computer calculated as a part of the
attorney’s software, in a PRF case, the Local Rules provide that an attorney may receive additional
compensation in the maximum amount of $500 for each post-confirmation plan confirmation that is
approved.
Fifth and Sixth Amended Plans shows that it’s merely a matter of recalculating the base amount,
and changing two lines of the model plan, which for a seasoned attorney and/or paralegal should
take minutes and not hours. Another questionable expenditure of time relates to the Third and
Fourth Amended Plans and how close in proximity they were proposed (less than two months
apart).
On the Appendix, the Court has identified and designated the time entries with an “E” for
excessive time spent.
C. Non-billable/ Administrative Tasks20
The last category of time entries involves non-billable tasks and requires no extended
discussion. These entries include such items as E-filing documents with the Court, reviewing such
items as an order transferring the case or granting a motion to modify, or reviewing an email
confirming a continuance.
Filing documents with the Court is an administrative task that is part of overhead and
should not billed to the client. The other types of tasks in this general category involve no more
than a quick review to confirm that there is nothing unusual or unexpected in the order or email.
These matters are certainly required to be performed but do not justify billing to the client a “.1” -
that is 6 minutes when in reality these tasks require only seconds.
The above items have been identified and designated as “N” on the Appendix and the Court
has disallowed these time entries.
20 The Court also identified a few time entries that appeared to be duplicative and were disallowed. See
Appendix entries marked with a “D.” A few time entries were also disallowed as vague. See Appendix
entries marked with a “V.”
VI. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, the Court concludes that a reduction of fees is warranted.
The Court concludes that the Applicant is entitled to a total fee allowance for the Amended Fee
Applications in the amount of $13,337.25 plus reimbursement of expenses of $1,596.79.7!
An appropriate order will be entered.
By the Court,
Mark J. Conway, 7 Judge
Dated: October 18, 2023
The Court notes that the expenses of $1,596.79 are more than $1,000 higher than the usual consumer
Chapter 13 case. This is primarily due to the costs of service of the multiple fee applications and modified
plans. Given the deduction in fees set forth herein, the Court has not reduced these expenses.
