FEES AND EXPENSES
The bankruptcy courts currently charge a filing fee to cover court costs. The fee is paid to the clerk when you file your bankruptcy forms at the courthouse. Additionally, the trustee will receive a fee of about 10% of the amounts paid to your creditors if you choose a repayment plan.
The fee charged by your lawyer will depend on the complexity of your case. In bankruptcy matters, a lawyer’s expertise usually results in savings that far outweigh the amount of legal fees.
