The filing fee is $274.00. Legal fees vary but typically not over $1,200.00. Usually the legal fee does not include extras, such as a complicated filing, adversary proceedings, stay relief motions, etc. If your circumstance justify pro bono services, there are lawyers who will handle a filing at a reduced fee. The court will waive the filing fee upon application and approval. There is a provision for paying the filing fee in four payments.
