How Much Does Filing for Bankruptcy Cost?

If you are interested in filing for a chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy in San Diego, you may be wondering how much it will cost you. For those struggling to pay their bills, the thought of paying for bankruptcy can seem impossible. However, the cost of filing for bankruptcy will ultimately depend on the type of bankruptcy file and the complexity of your case. the more complex your case, the more likely it will cost more money. Additionally, the filing fees are different depending on the type of bankruptcy. 

Bankruptcy Filing Fees in San Diego

There are two main expenses when it comes to filing for bankruptcy. First, you will need to pay a fee to the court when you file your bankruptcy petition. This fee is separate from the compensation you will pay your bankruptcy lawyer to prepare and file your case and represent you throughout the bankruptcy. As of 2021, the court filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is $338. The court filing fee for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is $313.

Lawyer Fee for Filing for Bankruptcy in San Diego

Each client’s circumstances are unique, and your attorneys’ fees will depend on the nature and complexity of your case. For example, if you own significant property, a business, and multiple rental properties, your bankruptcy will be more complicated than someone who rents and does not own any real estate. It is challenging to provide an accurate quote of how much your lawyer fees will be without sitting down and discussing your case and reviewing your situation and detail. 

Many lawyers offer payment plans. They may require a smaller fee upfront and allow clients to pay monthly after that. Bankruptcy law firms understand how difficult it is for clients to make payments, and they usually work with clients to determine a payment schedule that works for both parties.

Roger C.

I reached out to BLC to help assist with a chapter 7 business bankruptcy and they provided excellent guidance, advice, and support through the entire process. In my case an adversarial action was filed by one of the creditors and attorney Ahren Tiller and his staff provided sound ...arguments which prevailed. Couldn’t have found a more experienced and supportive team to represent me in a tricky situation. I would highly recommend them to anyone making the difficult but sometime necessary decision to find financial relief. Read more

Like many others before and during the pandemic, life happenings caused me to be in a financial situation to warrant bankruptcy. The BLC was super professional all the way through the entire process. Right after I paid for my Bankruptcy, I got sick and had to have surgery and recovery. Then we ...were in full Pandemic mode. They were gracious to delay my filing until I was recovered and ready to file. I could not ask for more. The process was over all quick and painless for a simple Bankruptcy like mine. I feel a weight has been lifted and I can rebuild. Thank you for all your arduous work and patience, Gabriel, Ahren, and their teams are knowledgeable and efficient. Read more
