Attorneys may charge different fees depending on what type of case you have and how much time the attorney will spend on your case. Our firm has several different types of fee arrangements, including hourly, flat rate and contingent fees as we cover several areas of the law. Please review the following for more information and our initial consultations on any legal matter are free of charge.  

Bankruptcy Case Fees:

•  Chapter 7 - A chapter 7 fee can very among attorneys.  Our firm charges a total of $1600 which includes our fee, the court filing fees and the credit counseling.  $800 is due at the time of the petition filing and the remaining $800 is due prior to the 341 meeting.  The fee we charge includes the meeting, review, and our case review for any other possible claims you may have against a mortgage company, debt collector or car dealership.   
•  Chapter 13 - The initial cost is only $424 for joint or $408 for single filing.  This includes the filing fee and counseling service.  Our fee is paid over the course of the bankruptcy plan, which can be up to 5 years. That is a set court rate of $3,000.00.  So a debtor only has to pay the filing fee and counseling service as required at the time of the filing.  
  

Consumer Case Fees:

Thes cases are handled by our firm on a contingent fee basis.  These cases include mortgage fraud cases, Fair Credit Reporting Act cases, Truth in Lending Cases, and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations to name a few.  Generally, our firm handles these types of cases on a 40% and up contingency fee.  Every fee is determined on a case by case basis.  On some cases, a small retainer is required which again depends on the case by case review. 

Personal Injury Case Fees:

These cases are handled by our firm on a contingent fees basis. This type of fee allows our firm to receive a certain agreed-upon percentage of any judgment or settlement amounts received. We only get paid if you recover. Generally, we handle these types of cases on 33% fee.  However,  every fee is determined on a case by case basis.
