Motion to Convert Case

Drafting a motion to convert bankruptcy cases requires extensive legal research across multiple sources, precise citation verification under 11 U.S.C. § 706, and careful factual analysis of debtor circumstances. Attorneys typically spend 4-5 hours manually researching case law, formatting court-specific captions, and ensuring compliance with local rules—time that could be spent on strategic case work.
