For law firms

Overflow bankruptcy prep for law firms

When filings spike, you either turn work away or burn out your staff. We're the third option: a U.S.-based, bankruptcy-only paralegal team that absorbs the overflow — Chapter 7, 13, and 11 — filing-ready in your software, without adding a permanent headcount.

Bankruptcy volume doesn't arrive evenly. A wave of filings, a departing paralegal, a marketing push that lands — and suddenly your team is underwater. Hiring for the peak leaves you carrying salary through the trough; leaning on overtime burns out the people you have; turning cases away sends fee revenue to another firm. Overflow support gives you a capacity valve you open only when you need it.

A capacity valve, not a headcount

You pay per case. There is no retainer, no monthly minimum, and nothing owed in a month you send us nothing.

Fast to spin up, consistent to rely on

Because we do bankruptcy and nothing else, there's no practice-area learning curve — we already know the means test, the schedules, and what trustees expect, so we can take on additional cases in days rather than the weeks a temp needs. Every case runs through the same preparation and QC for consistency across a batch. We prepare; your attorneys review, sign, and file, under your firm's supervision. The relationship, the signatures, and the courtroom stay entirely with you.

Flat per-case and hourly pricing

Personal Chapter 7 is $300 per case and business Chapter 7 is $400. Chapter 13 is $400 without plan drafting or $500 with the plan drafted. Chapter 11 is $90/hour, and one-off overflow tasks and amendments are our $70/hour general rate.

Frequently asked questions

How does overflow support work for a firm?

You send the cases you can't staff this month; we prepare them filing-ready in your software and hand them back for your attorneys to review, sign, and file. There's no minimum and no long-term contract, so you use it only when the volume spikes.

What does overflow bankruptcy prep cost?

Flat per case for consumer chapters — $300 personal Chapter 7, $400 business Chapter 7, $400 (without plan) or $500 (with plan) for Chapter 13 — or our $70/hour general rate for amendments and one-off overflow tasks. Chapter 11 is $90/hour.

Can you handle a sudden surge without a long ramp-up?

Yes. Because our paralegals do bankruptcy exclusively, there's no practice-area training curve — we work in your software and can absorb additional cases in days, not the weeks it takes to recruit and onboard a temp.

How do you keep quality consistent across a batch?

Every case runs through the same preparation and quality-control process for consistency across a batch, and you review and sign each one before it's filed.
