How Much Should You Be Paying For Your Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy Lawyer In San Diego – A topic has come up that has been really been bothering us here: How much should a bankruptcy cost? As we all know, given the current economic climate bankruptcy filings have been going through the roof and we feel this has lead to bankruptcy lawyers in San Diego really taking advantage of people in financial distress. The bottom line is this:

Bankruptcy fees in our office start at $800.00. That is for three experienced bankruptcy attorneys with a combined 42 years of experience!!

With that in mind we decided to do a quick survey of what bankruptcy lawyers were charging their clients in San Diego. We found one attorney who had been practicing for 5 years charging $2500 for a Chapter 7. That’s right, $2500!!

Oh, but it gets a lot worse. We recently discovered that a big law firm that does an extraordinary amount of advertising and offers to start your case with little to no money down will end up charging you $5000.00 for a Chapter 7. Where do you think they get all those advertising dollars??!!

On the opposite side of the coin if someone is charging you $199.00 for a bankruptcy filing, they either 1) don’t know what they are doing or 2) are not lawyers.  It really is important you have a San Diego bankruptcy lawer on your case.
