Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: Cost

For a Chapter 7 filing, the bankruptcy court charges $200.00. Each lawyer has her/his own criteria for attorney's fees. You are free to check with attorneys to find out how much they charge. Ask each lawyer what she/he does for the money, though. The lawyer should review all of your assets and debts, prepare your petition and, at the very least, attend the meeting of creditors about one month after the lawyer files the bankruptcy petition on your behalf. Good luck!

Re: Cost

That depends on what chapter you are filing, the number of creditors you have and the complexity of your case. If you'd like a free phone consultation, please visit my webpage at http://www.bklaw.com/consult.html and then contact me to schedule a time.
