Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Flexible Payment Plan
Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys help clients completely erase most of their debts during Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Unlike other bankruptcy lawyers, we do not demand a payment schedule. Our clients pay us when they feel most comfortable. Usually, they pay us in installment payments over a six-month time period.
We also take your financial situation into account when we calculate your fees. Please feel free to call us for a price quote.
Chapter 13 Payment: Part of the Reorganization Plan
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, our representation is covered as part of the Chapter 13 debt restructuring plan. We ask clients to pay the filing fee, but nearly every other cost is part of your Chapter 13 creditor pool. At the end of the 3-5 year restructuring program, any balances on unsecured debt obligations are eliminated. Thus, hiring an attorney typically does not add additional money to your already tight budget.
Attorney fees for Chapter 13 bankruptcy are set by the court. We are happy to go over these fees with you and explain the cost-effective benefits of hiring a dedicated bankruptcy lawyer.
