I gave an attorney in Massachusetts a fee for filing a Chapter 7 about a year ago. I took no further action.  I recently have suffered a financial emergency, and need the fee returned immediately.  Right before this emergency, I contacted him twice.  Once to let him know I was ready to file, and a second time with a question about the process.  He did not reply to either communication, and has not responded to my request to return the fee.  I am wondering how long I should give him to comply.  I am sure he is a busy person, but I need this money immediately.  If I am unable to have the fee returned, I will be going to Carmax, and I hope to avoid doing such a thing.  I have no hard feelings against this person, I just am under a bit of stress.  He did no legal work on my behalf, in case anyone is wondering.   Thanks for explaining this to me.
