1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge.
Marjorie Mungo filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code and listed Maureen Sullivan Taylor, her former divorce attorney, as a disputed creditor. Taylor filed a proof of claim in the bankruptcy court with respect to the fees that she claimed Mungo owed as a result of the divorce representation. Mungo objected to Taylor’s proof of claim, declaring that Taylor had coerced her into signing the marital settlement, and then filed an adversary proceeding against Taylor alleging legal malpractice in the divorce action.
