Can you hire a lawyer to speak for you in court or do you have to show up in person? I had a debt cleared in Bankruptcy Chapter 7 and discharged. I was served with papers over a year after the discharge. My BK lawyer said it is a discharge violation and he suggested going after the assets of the individuals that continue to try and get the money…is that just lawyer speak or should I do this….Can I just hire a lawyer to do all this for me or do I have to actually go to court myself?
