1. Consultation process. We offer two free consultations. In the event that we need more meetings, we charge consultation fees for additional meetings.
2. Chapter 7: The Court charges a $335 filing, and we ask that you pay this by certified check or money order. With attorney fees, for a simple consumer case, the fee is usually $1,200-$1,400. For a more complex case, the fees can range $1,400-$2,000. The fee is case-specific and may vary depending on the complexity of the case and/or the number of appointments.
3. Chapter 13: The Court charges a $310 filing fee, and we ask that pay this by certified check or money order. Unlike Chapter 7, in a Chapter 13 the Court controls the fees for traditional consumer cases. We ordinarily charge a portion of the fee up front in traditional consumer case (usually $300-$1,000), and the balance is paid through the court repayment plan. The total fee for a typical consumer case is set by the court at $4,500. For more involved cases, the fee is determined by the attorney and must be approved by the Court.
