MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
HENRY J. BOROFF, Bankruptcy Judge.
Before this Court are Applications for Approval of Debtor’s Counsel’s Fees and Expenses (together, the “Fee Applications”) filed by Attorney L. Jed Berliner (“Attorney Berliner”) in these separate, but interrelated, Chapter 7 cases. While orders of disallowance and disgorgement are the inevitable outcomes here, the Court takes the opportunity by this Memorandum to express its particular dismay with respect to the type of conduct by debtors’ counsel here described.
