How much money do bankruptcy lawyers get?

Answer 1

It varies from place to place, whether he or she is being hired by the debtor ("the one who files a bankruptcy case") or a creditor, the Chapter under which a debtor files, what services are to be performed, and the complexity of the case.

In metropolitan areas, a simple Chapter 7 may easily run $2000 to $2500 pus filing fees and costs, a routine Chapter 13, may run around $4000, a routine Chapter 13 involving an indiidual with a business $5000 pus filing fees and costs. A portion of the Chapter 13 ees can usually be paid after filing from future income. Often thes fees can be accumulated when you stop paying unsecured debt but don't do this without consulting an experienced attorney

Call or visit a few lawyers and ask. Seek referrals from other lawyers or legal clients. Save money by checking out reputable web sites to see what information and documents. Use only an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. You are likely to find you get what you pay for. Don't take advice from unidentified people whose credentials you do not know. Seek advice before you know you need to file. Mistakes and delays can be very expensive especially for those who need a chapter 13.

Answer 2

On average, a bankruptcy attorney costs approximately 2,000 to 3,000 dollars for 3 to 5 years. Of course that depends on the person. The average is nation wide in the United States. That's not as much as in other counties like England where the price is much higher.

I filed chapter 7 yesterday and my attorney charged $800 plus the $300 filing fee so it was a total of $1,100.

Some bankrupt attorneys don't charge money until they win your case, but their price is usually starting at a thousand dollars and up.
