Pricing, Payment, and Cancellation

Chapter 7

$2,150 + $338 = $2,488

$2,488 is the total fee that most of our Chapter 7 clients pay. That price includes the $2,150 attorney's fee plus the required court filing fee of $338, which we collect from you and pay on your behalf to the court. The attorney's fee includes the cost of filing imposed by our software, and it covers the cost of a credit report that we run on all of our bankruptcy clients.

Pay Over Time Option for Chapter 7

This is a significant sum, and we understand that you may not have this much money available to pay all at once. That's why we gladly allow you to pay over time, interest-free. We cannot file your petition until you have paid in full, but you have the option to pay your legal and court fees for your bankruptcy in increments of as little as $200.00 per payment.

Chapter 13

$4,550 + $313 = $4,863

$4,863 is the total fee that most of our Chapter 13 clients pay. It includes the $4,550 attorney's fee, up to $2,400 of which may be paid through you Plan, plus the court's required filing fee of $313.

The price quoted includes your attorney's fee through confirmation of your Plan, plus the cost of filing imposed by our software, plus the cost of a three-bureau credit report that we run on all of our bankruptcy clients.

Pay Over Time Option for Chapter 13

This is a significant sum, and we understand that you may not have this much money available to pay all at once. That's why we gladly allow you to pay over time, interest-free. We cannot file your petition until you have paid the full $2,238 due pre-filing, but you may pay your pre-filing legal and court fees for your Chapter 13 bankruptcy in increments of as little as $100.00 per payment. The $2,400.00 balance of your legal fees can be paid through your Plan.

Pro Bono

$0 + possibly $338

If you come to us through a pro bono agency such as Legal Aid Society, you do not pay an attorney's fee. However, depending on your income, the court may require that you pay their $338 filing fee.

Pro bono services are available ONLY for Chapter 7, and pro bono pricing is available ONLY for clients referred by a pro bono agency such as Legal Aid Society.

We do ask that, if possible, you cover our costs of filing your case, which include a fee imposed by our software and a three-bureau credit repo
