You’ve probably heard it said a time or two that you “get what you pay for” for most things in life. While this phrase has become a bit cliché, it’s true in the case of bankruptcy attorneys, especially in Cleveland.
Attorney fees in Cleveland vary based on the attorney you hire. Attorneys charge various fees depending on their quality, availability, experience, and knowledge, among other things.
The filing fee in Cleveland for filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a fixed amount of $338. Contrast this with a $313 filing fee for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
There is a course that is required (before filing) for all of those who are filing for bankruptcy in Cleveland. This course has a set price of $20. The course itself is a credit counseling course that can be taken online. There is no getting around the cost of this course.
If you add up all the fees, the lowest you’ll be paying for a bankruptcy attorney in Cleveland is going to be $500 for the attorney’s fees, plus $338 for the filing, plus $20 for the pre-bankruptcy course. This adds to a total of $858 at a bare minimum. For the highest cost lawyers, you’re looking anywhere from $2358 and higher.
Like most things in life, there is a happy medium when it comes to Cleveland bankruptcy attorneys. Let’s face it, you’re already going through a tough time so you’re probably not going to want to slap down all the money you have saved under your mattress just for a bankruptcy lawyer.
