Chapter 13

Is bankruptcy right for me?

July 5, 2013 by TomScottLaw

While we will be able to assist you with the entire bankruptcy process and will answer all of your questions to make sure you understand the pro’s and con’s of filing, whether to file remains a personal choice.
In our opinion, however, if you feel like the burden of your debt is starting to create problems in your life (such as martial issues, high blood pressure or other medical issues, unbearable stress, or a decrease in job performance) then it may be a good option for you.

How much does it cost to file bankruptcy?

July 5, 2013 by TomScottLaw

There are two components to figuring the cost for filing bankruptcy. The first, and easiest cost to calculate is the court’s filing fee, which is the amount the court charges to accept a bankruptcy filing.
As of June 1, 2014, the court charges and collects $310.00 for a Chapter 13 filing and $335.00 for a Chapter 7 filing. The second component are the attorney fees, and that amount is going to depend on the complexity of your case.
For simple Chapter 7 cases, our fees start at $665.00, plus costs, and can move upward for more complex cases (dealing with parcels of real estate, businesses, tax issues, judgments, etc.)
Chapter 13 fees are set by the court, but the majority of fees are paid through a bankruptcy reorganization. The upfront fees to file a Chapter 13 may be as low as $500.00.
Our firm is committed to providing the best possible service along with low fees and will consider any specific circumstances you may have in determining price.
