Once you are in a Chapter 13 Case in which the Chapter 13 Plan has been confirmed, you won’t pay for your attorney’s services again, at least not directly.

During a Chapter 13 case, any attorney’s fees you incur for further services after confirmation must be reviewed and approved by the Bankruptcy Judge before they can be paid.  Those fees will be paid by the Chapter 13 estate.  Specifically, the Chapter 13 Trustee will pay the attorney’s fees from the fees you pay into the Chapter 13 estate.  However all the fees will be reviewed by the court and approved by the Judge before your attorney can be paid.
