What is the average lawyers fee for someone filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy?



Legal Topic Area: Bankruptcy in NC

I have not done a statistical analysis of all bankruptcy attorneys and what they charge. Moreover, the fees are going to vary from district to district, as well as by the complexity of the case as there are a lot of factors to consider.

Most lawyers offer free initial consultations where they will give you a fee quote. I recommend that as your starting point.

You can find bankruptcy attorneys out here in Los Angeles charging anywhere from $750 plus court fees for a Chapter 7 to over $4,000. Why the difference? See Here.
