The fee depends on the complexity of each case, which affects the amount of time the lawyer will need to devote to the case. It will be less expensive, for example, for a personal receiving Social Security income and who owes just a few debts than for someone who is operating a business, or wants to reaffirm several debts, or has a foreclosure case pending, or has substantial income and may have difficulties qualifying for bankruptcy.
The typical Chapter 7 case we file will cost between $1,500.00 and $2,300.00, including the filing fee. The fee is usually required to be paid before the case is filed. For that fee, you will get the time and attention you and your case need and deserve, together will an experienced and well-trained staff. Your attorney will spend time with you to get to know you and your situation, to assess your case and to review in detail the bankruptcy forms you will sign and submit to the court. We also constantly review our procedures to ensure we provide the highest quality of legal representation available. We believe it is less expensive for consumers to pay a fair price for quality representation that avoids costly complications.
