Bankruptcy Fees

I pride myself in offering quality Bankruptcy Legal Services while charging reasonable attorney fees.  The following table reflects the fees I charge for most cases. Some cases involve substantial attorney time or particular expertise.

The fees and costs below apply to most Individual or Joint (husband & wife) cases. 

It is extremely inexpensive to hire an attorney to file Bankruptcy when compared to your other options - which include simply paying all of your bills. An experienced attorney can help you correctly list all of your obligations and help you keep as much property as possible and eliminate as much debt as possible. If you do not file the paperwork correctly or use an unlicensed, non-attorney, the problems you may face could exceed the cost of an experienced attorney.

I want to provide you with a fresh start. To make this an easy process I can begin preparing your Chapter-7 bankruptcy case with little or no money down* and set up an affordable payment plan. I want to help and I will do whatever is needed to make my services affordable.

To file a bankruptcy case, there are basically two costs:

  1. a filing fee paid to the United States Bankruptcy Court, and

  2. legal fees to your lawyer. I have flat fees that will cover the work on your entire case. I can then break our fee down into small monthly installments you can afford. Attorney fees are based on a number of factors and all cases are different. I want to base your fees only on the work we will have to perform on your case.

To determine an appropriate fee I ask that you complete a questionnaire so that I can better understand your financial situation. The less complicated your case is, the lower your attorney fees will be. And, after your fees are determined in advance, you will know for sure the total cost of my services before we file your case.

  • Little or no money down available if requested to begin case preparation on Chapter-7 Bankruptcy cases. Courts require that legal and filing fees be paid before your Chapter-7 case is filed in court. This way you truly get a fresh start.

You can not pay for your bankruptcy case with your own credit card.  Friends and family members sometimes can help but they must give you the money for the fees - not simply loan you the money.

Most people pay their own legal fees in affordable monthly  installments. I will work with you to set up payments you can afford so you can truly get a fresh start.
