It will depend on the nature of the case and the amount of work to be done $5K is often the amount to say "hello."

Adversary Complaints tend not to be flat fee arrangements, so you are looking at the hourly fees of the attorney you are visiting with regarding the case.

Depends on the nature of the case, but you can presume about 5,000.

There is no such thing as the usual cost. It is a negotiated cost.

It depends on how complicated the process will be. Talk to some very good creditor bankruptcy attorneys and compare their prices.

An adversary Complaint in Bankruptcy Court is the same as initiating a lawsuit in State Court. It takes attorneys several hours of research and drafting, and then the same costs that would be in regular litigation would occur. (Discovery, attending hearings, trial, etc.) In other words, it can be very expensive.

We bill by the hour and we minimize costs by offering attorneys at different price points 300 - 600 per hour and paralegals at 150. In my opinion, someone who offers you a flat fee or promises you set time limits is either 1. new and trying to get experience; 2. a fool who will lose but still get paid what he told you it would cost; or 3. a con artist who wants to lure you in.

It depends on the attorney. I old think anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a thousand depending on how complicated the case is.
