The respondent advised the client to file for bankruptcy, which would automatically stay the eviction.  The respondent told the client's son-in-law that this would also permit him to relitigate before a Federal bankruptcy judge the issues he had lost in the State court cases.  The respondent engaged a bankruptcy attorney, who on April 5, 2017, filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition for the client in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts.  The daughters moved the bankruptcy court for relief from the automatic stay of eviction proceedings, and their motion was allowed.
