$300 personal Chapter 7 · $400 business Chapter 7 · $400 Chapter 13 without plan · $500 with L.B.F. 3015-1.1 drafted. A plan clean enough to confirm on the Verification saves a hearing appearance, which is worth more than the preparation costs. 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 Bankruptcy Rules Compendium (L.B.R. 3015-1 and its cross-references to L.B.R. 3012-1) and Local Bankruptcy Forms Compendium (L.B.F. 3015-1.1 through 3015-1.6), plus the court's published chief judge and clerk; filing counts are from Administrative Office consumer filing data. 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.
