What will it cost to file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
The cost to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy generally varies by the state and region that you live in. In some areas the district courts will set guidelines as to what they consider reasonable for an attorney to charge you. Generally Chapter 13 fees are broken up into two parts. A portion is paid up front to get the case filed and the remainder is put into a payment plan to be paid over time as part of your Chapter 13 plan.

Our up front attorney fees to file the bankruptcy petition with the court generally range from $600.00 to $1,600, plus the court filing fee of $194.00. Fees are due at the time of filing. When less than $1,600 is charged upfront, additional fees are built in the plan to cover services up to the 341 Meeting of Creditors or Confirmation (depending on which jurisdiction the case is filed in).
