Illinois Bankruptcy Attorney Fees

Filing for bankruptcy can be the most difficult time in your life. The cost of filing bankruptcy in Illinois will vary from case to case depending on the complexity of the financial situation The filing fee for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Illinois is $338.00 and Chapter 13 is $313.00.  It is hard to say what the attorney fees will be because every client is different. The bankruptcy attorney fees depend on the Chapter of Bankruptcy you file and the complexity of your situation.  Once you come in to see me for your free consultation, I will be able to let you know what my attorney fees will be for your case.

So how do you come up with the money to pay a Bankruptcy Lawyer in Illinois?

One admittedly big problem people considering bankruptcy often have, of course, is a lack of cash. However, there are ways to free up cash once you understand how the system works. For example, if your cash flow is low because you are making minimum payments on your credit cards, you may be able to stop (in most cases) making those payments and save up some money for attorney fees (don’t do this without advice of your attorney). There are also ways, depending on whether you are filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, to make payments over time or to obtain some money from sale of assets. In any event, there is usually a way to make it work.

I understand that some people really cannot afford anything but the absolute minimum, I suggest they do everything they can to ensure that the attorney they select is competent and pays attention to their case from start to finish. However, if you really are in this situation, bankruptcy may not be the best solution for you.
