If you hired an attorney, most charge an hourly rate (approx. $150-250/hr.) so it is difficult to determine what the legal fees would be without evaluating the facts of the case. Smaller firms or solo practicioners may charge less. Also, the filing fee for a full administration at most courts is around $200.00. You may want to find a local attorney who can evaluate your case and give you an estimate of legal fees. I hope that helps.
