How Much is this Going to Cost Me?

The question we get more than any question is “How much will this bankruptcy cost?”  It is a valid question because the reason you come to us is you are struggling financially.  Now there are some things to keep in mind before I give any kind of answer.  The first thing is every case is different.  To say $2,000.00 would simply be an irresponsible answer.  You may have factors which would make your case less expensive or more expensive.  There is not really a “right answer” … but there are some “wrong answers”   This is why we offer a free initial consultation!

If you get a quote for bankruptcy filings from $499.00 this is not right.  Bankruptcies take time to do well and this means that either 1) A bankruptcy lawyer in Denver is not actually working on your case or 2) There is a serious process problem.  If you look at our post on the basic process of filing a bankruptcy, see if $499.00 makes sense for this…   We would say, this is a sucker’s fee OR you will simply get bad service.

So, if this is wrong, what is right?  It would be fair to say most bankruptcy cases (given “normal” parameters will run somewhere between $1,250 and $2,500)  The more factors you have (number of debtors, severity of case, children involved, legal issues like ex-spouses being involved, your promptness in returning paperwork, jurisdiction issues like have you lived in 4 states in the last year?) all of these have effects.  This is why we do a Free initial consultation.  This way, before we do the long list of necessary events to successfully file a bankruptcy, you are completely appraised about costs and obligations.  Most people make payments, so don’t worry if you don’t have money in the bank…  we know this, after all you are looking to file a bankruptcy in Denver!

Remember, as we are successful, your other choking obligations will go away.  If your case is doomed to failure, we don’t take the case.  Why?  Because it would drive you that much closer and we are less likely to actually get paid.  Ideally, we do our job and your liabilies go from choking to simple to deal with.  Our job is to help represent you against your creditors.  They have attorneys, that’s why you need a quality bankruptcy attorney in Denver!
