View the checklistChapter 13 Plan Form by District
Which districts require their own Chapter 13 plan form and which use national Official Form 113, with the local rule or general order that imposes it and the version currently in force. Filing the wrong plan is a routine out-of-district mistake, and no single public source tracks this.

The deadline to object to confirmation does not just change length between districts, it hangs on a different event: before the confirmation hearing, after the §341 meeting, before the §341 meeting, or after the plan is served. One district applies two different rules between its own divisions.

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. An emergency skeleton petition to trigger the automatic stay is $175, with full schedules to follow. Chapter 7 cases come back in 7 days and Chapter 13 in 10, once we have a complete intake package. Our paralegals draft directly inside your Best Case, Jubilee, or NextChapter account, so nothing is re-keyed. We carry errors and omissions and cyber liability insurance, and our team of six is bilingual in English and Spanish.
