How much does bankruptcy cost?
Bankruptcy has two cost pieces: the court's filing fee and attorney's fees. Chapter 13 fees are often folded into the plan. All fee terms are set in a written agreement before any work begins. Free consultation.
The two cost pieces
How much does it cost to file bankruptcy?
Why fees vary
A straightforward Chapter 7 with wage income and no business costs less than a case with a business, prior transfers, or contested exemptions. Chapter 13 fees reflect the multi-year plan work. We quote your case specifically after the consultation — not a generic number.
The cost of waiting
Delay has its own price: a judgment, a garnishment, or a completed foreclosure sale can cost far more than the case itself. That is why the consultation is free — so you can weigh the real numbers before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I pay Chapter 13 attorney fees over time?
- Often yes. In Chapter 13, a portion of attorney's fees is commonly paid through the court-approved plan rather than all up front.
- Is the free consultation really free?
- Yes. The initial case review is free and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Fee terms for representation are set in a written agreement before work begins.
