How much will filing bankruptcy cost me and how soon can it be done?

The court filing fee is currently $306. Attorney fees average about $2000 but will depend on your situation. You also have to spend about another $50 to take the required credit counseling and debtor education courses. The petition can be filed immediately in emergency situations or soon after the required information has been obtained and course has been completed.

A bankruptcy can be filed very quickly if necessary. Cost depends upon the attorney.

A bankruptcy can be filed within days, or on an emergency basis less. A fee will be about $1,200 or more for many attorney's plus the filing fees.

For a chapter 7 bankruptcy, the filing fee is $306. You also have to take an Internet (or phone) class before you file and that is typically $25. Then the biggee is attorney fees. It depends on what part of the state you are in. I am in the Sacramento area and I charge $1400 (and up depending upon complexity, that is, how hard I have to work). The bay area and LA areas are more. Valley and rural areas are less. In my office the answer to the question, when can we file is how fast can you get me 100% of the data needed, pay the fees and take the class plus one or two days.
