What will my bankruptcy cost?

A. The attorney fees charged by Attorney Bodor are among the lowest in Ohio. In addition to the attorney fees, there is also a $299.00 Court filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and a $274.00 Court filing fee for a Chapter 13. . Payment plans are available for Chapter 7 bankruptcies, although all Chapter 7 fees must be paid full before their bankruptcy is filed.    This i because any fees unpaid after the petition is filed are also discharged with the filing.   

If you are filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a relatively small initial payment on your attorney fees (plus the filing fee) will start your bankruptcy; in appropriate cases the remainder can be included in the monthly Trustee payments.

Court filing fees may be waived by the court, in whole or in part, in appropriate cases.

In addition to the Lawyer fees and Court cost, you are also responsible for paying for the pre-filing and post-filing counseling.   The cost currently for each of these sessions is in the neighborhood of $50.00.    In appropriate cases this fee may be waived by the providing agency.
