The district at a glance
- A single statewide district covering all of Arizona
- Chief Judge Madeleine C. Wanslee, with Khadijia White-Thomas as Clerk
- Consumer filings: 12,465 total — 10,350 Chapter 7 and 2,097 Chapter 13, a 16.8% Chapter 13 share and the #9 total volume district nationally
- Filing fees: $338 for Chapter 7, $313 for Chapter 13
- Local rules replaced effective June 1, 2026, so any checklist built earlier in 2026 predates the current rulebook
- Chapter 13 plan is mandatory Local Form 2084-4 for all original, amended and modified plans — not Official Form 113
- Mandatory mortgage conduit where the debtor is in default on a consensual non-HOA security interest in the principal residence
- A 10% trustee fee rides on conduit payments, and on any escrow or interest-rate driven change to them

Flat per-case pricing, D. Ariz. or anywhere
$300 personal Chapter 7 · $400 business Chapter 7 · $400 Chapter 13 without plan · $500 with Local Form 2084-4 drafted. No retainer, no minimum, no long-term contract — and if the trustee kicks something back because we got it wrong, we fix it at no charge.
District details verified August 2026 against the court's Local Rules effective June 1, 2026 (Rule 2084-4 and Local Forms 2084-4, 2084-4A and 2084-4B) and its published chief judge and clerk; filing counts are from Administrative Office consumer filing data. Because this district replaced its local rules in June 2026, confirm currency before relying on any earlier guidance. Chapter 13 trustee assignments are confirmed per case rather than listed here. Median-income figures are the U.S. Trustee table for cases filed on or after July 15, 2026 and are revised periodically.
