APPPLIES TO COLORADO BANKRUPTCIES: The average cost of a chapter 7 bankruptcy in Colorado is $1500 ($1200 attorney fees, plus $299 filing fee). If the case is a below average case (an easy case) attorney fees can be as low as $600. Business chapter 7's can be much more expensive, as well as cases with means test or other problems. The starting costs of chapter 13 bankruptcy is usually $3300 attorney fees, plus $276 filing fee. It is rare for experienced counsel to charge below said fees, but the down payment for filing chapter 13 differs greatly. Always ask your bankruptcy attorney what the total chapter 13 fees will be, as well as how much you have to pay down. If you are quoted a price of $1200 by an attorney, that usually refers to the down payment (not the total price).
