If you've paid a lawyer but your bankruptcy gets dismissed will a lawyer give some of his fee back?

Unless there was prior agreement that funds would be returned if the BK was not succesful, the attorney has no obligation to do so. It would seem the best course of action would be to simply ask if you are entitiled to a partial reimbursement.

What is your liability to harassing creditors if after six years your Chapter 13 bankruptcy was dismissed by the trustee?
If your Chapter 13 was dismissed, meaning you did not complete your Plan, then you are essentially right back where you started before you filed for bankruptcy. The creditors can pursue you for the debts without any legal ramifications.
Can you have back title of home after bankruptcy discharge?
If you lost the title through foreclosure or abandonment in the bankruptcy, probably not, but it depends on a number of factors. Consult a lawyer in your area.

What does estate vested back to you mean?
In bankruptcy, it means any property that belonged to the bankruptcy estate is yours again. Usually because your case ended, was dismissed or the trustee decided to abandon the property as not worth the cost of converting to cash.

Does a tax refund automatically get sent by the IRS to bankruptcy court after a chapter 7 discharge?
No. Everything that happens in a bankruptcy case goes through the (7 or 13) trustee and if the trustee has not acted to get the refund, but has told you it must be sent to him/her, that is your obligation when you receive it. If the trustee did not know about the refund, and you omitted that information from your schedules, you may find your bankruptcy dismissed with prejudice, so you will not be able to re-file it for a while. If you owe the IRS back taxes, they may intercept it. Then it will depend on whether the taxes were or will be discharged. Talk to a lawyer.
What does it mean for a bankruptcy to be dismissed?
"Case dismissed" means the same as any other time you hear it. Dismissed means that the case has no merit or means to go forward and that charges (in this case, the charge of bankruptcy) can not be proven or declared. The bankruptcy was not granted.

If your house goes back into foreclosure after you are making payments on a chapter 13 can you file pro se to stop foreclosure?
You are leaving out important information: when was the chapter 13 ended and why did it end? If the chapter 13 has not been closed or dismissed, the mortgage should not be in foreclosure unless you missed several post-petition payments and the mortgagee got relief from the automatic stay. You cannot have two bankruptcy filings open at the same time. If the chapter 13 was ended pursuant to a section of the bankruptcy code, you may be able to refile, but you may not have the benefit of the automatic stay. Consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.
What do you do when a case has being dismissed and after a month or two is back in the system stating a warrant arrest on inmate and can not get in contact with his lawyer?
If the case re-appeared in the system after being "dismissed' - that means it must have been dismissed "WITHOUT PREJUDICE." This means that the original charge was somehow legally faulty and the judge dismissed it. WITHOUT prejudice means that the prosecutor, after correcting the deficiency, can re-file the charge. If the judge had dismissed it WITH prejudice, the case could not have been re-filed. About your being unable to reach your attorney.... I cannot comment on that.
What will happen where Chapter 13 bankruptcy is dismissed due to default in payments?
Many people are unable to maintain the rigid repayment plans (and strict budget) that go along with Chapter 13 bankruptcy. One option is to switch to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This can be done (one time) without court approval, although if you ever wish to switch back to Chapter 13 then the court will be involved. Before switching I would recommend looking at the different characteristics of each type of bankruptcy.
If a car is repossessed and sold at auction for less than the amount owed to the lender will filing bankruptcy discharge the remaining balance if it has been reduced to judgment?
It depends on the chapter. In either case, your remaining debt is now unsecured and a bankruptcy filing places the judgment on hold. If it is Chapter 13, file a claim and you may receive a percentage of the bankruptcy estate, but not usually until near the end of the bankruptcy term (3-5 years). If it's a Chapter 7, again, it's an unsecured debt and highly unlikely that the debtor will sign a reaffirmation to pay you back. If the bankruptcy gets dismissed (thrown out), your judgment is back in force, provided it has not expired.
