District guide · E.D. Pa.

Petition prep for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

E.D. Pa. filed 5,093 consumer cases and 2,662 of them were Chapter 13, about 52%, which is an unusually plan-heavy mix for a large northeastern district. Plans go on Local Bankruptcy Form 3015.1, whose Part 2 carries an instruction most local plans do not: subparts 2(c) and 2(e) must be completed in every plan. There is also a separate Pre-Confirmation Certification form that is easy to miss if you work from the plan alone. We prepare Chapter 7 and 13 cases filing-ready to exactly these requirements, in your own software, for your review and signature.

Flat per-case pricing, E.D. Pa. or anywhere

$400 Chapter 13 without plan · $500 with L.B.F. 3015.1 drafted · $300 personal Chapter 7 · $400 business Chapter 7. With Chapter 13 the majority of filings here, the plan rate is the operative number. 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 Form 3015.1 Chapter 13 Plan (version 2024-1), its local forms index including L.B.F. 3015-6A and 3015-6B, and its published chief judge and clerk; filing counts are from Administrative Office consumer filing data. The court's published local rules manual is current through December 1, 2009, so confirm rule citations against any later amendments before relying on them. 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 paeb.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.
