Hiring a Bankruptcy Lawyer

One of the most expense costs of filing a personal bankruptcy is hiring a bankruptcy lawyer. If you have a simple no-asset case you may be able to do it without the assistance of a bankruptcy attorney, but most filers will need legal assistance.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (Simple No-Asset Case) – Bankruptcy lawyers may charge as little as $750 for a simple, Chapter 7, no-asset case.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy – Bankruptcy lawyers generally charge $1,000 to $2,500, but costs could be as high as $4,000 for more complicated cases.
