District guide · E.D.N.Y.

Petition prep for the Eastern District of New York

E.D.N.Y. filed 10,068 consumer cases, 3,806 of them Chapter 13, across Brooklyn and Central Islip. Plans go on the court's own form, and the local rules reference the form's internal section numbers directly, so its structure carries legal weight rather than being a layout choice. Service runs on two clocks at once, and the surrender-and-stay-termination path in section 3.7 does not produce the immediate order people expect. We prepare Chapter 7 and 13 cases filing-ready to exactly these requirements, in your own software, for your review and signature.

Two courthouses — Brooklyn and Central Islip — covering Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island
Chief Judge Jil Mazer-Marino, with Paul Dickson as Clerk of Court

Filing fees: $338 for Chapter 7, $313 for Chapter 13
Chapter 13 plan must conform to the E.D.N.Y. Form Chapter 13 Plan under LBR 3015-1(a) — not Official Form 113
Plan service runs on two simultaneous deadlines: within 7 days of filing and at least 28 days before confirmation
The local rules cite the plan form's own section numbers (notably section 3.7), so the form's structure is substantive
Unless excused, both the debtor and the debtor's attorney attend the confirmation hearing

District details verified August 2026 against the court's Local Bankruptcy Rules (E.D.N.Y. LBR 3015-1, 3015-2 and 3015-3, with cross-references to LBR 2002-1 and 4001-2) and its published judges and courthouse locations; 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. Always confirm against current sources at nyeb.uscourts.gov and justice.gov/ust. Services are provided exclusively to licensed attorneys and law firms. We are not a bankruptcy petition preparer and do not provide legal advice or services to the public.

Chapter 7 preparation is $300 per case for a personal filing and $400 for a business filing, or $410 with extended case management through discharge. Chapter 13 is $400 per case, or $500 with plan drafting. Chapter 11 is billed at $90 per hour, and our general rate for overflow, amendments, and routine work is $70 per hour.
