In connection with his legal representation, and prior to filing each case with the Court, Willis received an advanced expense retainer of $500 from each client. Despite receiving the $500 retainers, Willis caused the 32 cases to be filed without payment of the requisite filing fees. Instead, Willis filed motions requesting that his clients be permitted to pay the filing fees over time because they were unable to pay upfront. Willis admitted that none of his clients saw or signed the motions.
