The fees are set by an agreement between yourself and your attorney. All the fees however must be approved by the court. This is precisely why your concern for fees ought to be secondary. The fees will be taken from the amount you are paying your creditors and usually do not impact your payment to the plan. You ought to be more concerned about employing the best attorney as the cheapest attorneys who work for flat fees are more known not to fight for the lowest monthly payment as he earns no more money for fighting. They cost you far more in the end.

Here is information from the fees page of my website about the cost to file Chapter 13: I typically ask my clients to pay me $2,000.00 before the filing of the Chapter 13 petition, with the balance of my legal fees being paid through the Chapter 13 plan. This allows my Chapter 13 clients to file bankruptcy and save their homes without having to pay me the entire legal fee before the filing of the bankruptcy petition. Regular wage earners who are able to make regular plan payments but do not have money for a retainer may qualify for my special no money down Chapter 13 plan. This lets my clients file Chapter 13 bankruptcy by paying only the court filing fee of $281.00 prior to filing bankruptcy. All legal fees are paid to me through the plan.

Most attorneys (not all) charge about $350 to get a 13 filed, including the $281 filing fee. Then the remaining attorney fees (up to $3,000 in SW Michigan) are paid as part of the Plan payments.
