At The Law Offices Of R.J. Atkinson, we are acutely aware of the financial strain our potential clients are under. As such we offer payment plans to address each case individually as each case has a different set of circumstances. Our fees are competitive and, in many cases, we can file a case with minimal of no down payment on attorney’s fees which often may be paid in installments. The exact fee charged and the amount required down is always determined on a case by case basis and depends upon various factors such as the number and type of creditors, the extent of the assets, the number of previous bankruptcies (if any), as well as the district in which the case is filed and the amount of time involved to handle the case.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Fees
Attorney fees for a Chapter 13 case are paid as part of the debtor’s bankruptcy repayment plan and can either be billed hourly or at a flat rate either of which are subject to the Bankruptcy Court‘s approval. We file most Chapter 13 cases with no money down on attorneys fees with a “wage order” (see Bankruptcy Dictionary) so all a client needs to pay is a $274.00 court filing fee to file the case.
We can quote you a specific fee for your individual case at a free initial consultation. At such time we can assess the merits of your case and decide what amount (if any) we may require down on attorney’s fees. Our determination will largely depend on your financial ability and willingness to make your Chapter 13 Plan payments. And, your ability to make Chapter 13 Plan payments will depend on the stability and amount of your income. We realize that you may have financial problems and probably need every dollar for your day to day expenses when you come to us. So the bottom line is, that although we file most Chapter 13 cases with no money down on attorney’s fees we still have to assess your case before we can agree to accept the case with no money down on attorney’s fees.
