Skokie Bankruptcy Attorney & The Cost To File

The price for filing a bankruptcy is going to differ from case to case.  There are some things that are going to be the same such as the filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. At the time of this writing, it is $306.  The filing fee for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy at the time of this writing is $281. 

The specific price that you are going to be charged is going to depend on the type of case that you file, the complexity of the case and what type of work is involved on the attorneys and.  For example, if a client comes to see me and they have three creditors and less than $10,000 worth of debt, then they are not going to have a very high attorney’s fee.  They are going to find the process very affordable.  Most importantly, instead of thinking about what it costs to file for bankruptcy, think about what it costs if you don’t file.  You have to get out of debt first and then work on rebuilding your credit.  For more information, contact a local bankruptcy attorney to schedule your initial consultation.  You may be amazed at the type of relief available.
