Re: Filing Chapter 7 in Nevada

No. The reason is that as a creditor of the person who files bankruptcy, there is a conflict of interest. Furthermore, you could add the lawyer as a creditor and he would not get paid.

The standard charge is $2,000. You have to remember, most lawyers have enough business that they do not need a $2000 client to do the work up front and hope to get paid.
