New Law Alert: WA Legislators in Olympia React to the new "Reform" Act by dramatically raising the Washington State Homestead Exemption.

How much does it cost to declare bankruptcy?  What are "low" bankruptcy lawyer fees?  And what are overpriced?  How much is the bankruptcy court filing fee?

Please call to discuss our fees and the various (and often changing) bankruptcy filing fee for chapter 7, chapter 11, and chapter 13 plans.

Having handled hudreds of Washington bankruptcy cases Boris is a lawyer with experience in all aspects of the bankruptcy law.  Paying too low a fee for a new lawyer who wishes to just get experience to start out is always an overpriced attorney.  What you pay is cheap if the quality of the attorney's knowledge is high.  You may hear a general practitioner who takes all types of cases claim that they are an "aggressive bankruptcy lawyer" and will save your home equity.  Who they are being aggressive with is you; because they can't possibly hope to fully serve your interests in a complex case under the new law.  Washington's homestead exemption is available only based on certain factors which are heavily influenced not only by the 2005 Bankruptcy law reform act, but the local procedural practice of the trustees and bankruptcy judges.  That does not change overnight.  A lawyer who only takes bankruptcy cases occassionally can't full exploit the options that are available to you to the maximun extent permissible under the law.

Again, please speak with me, Boris, directly and personally in a free confidential consultation.  At that point I can get an idea of what your case will entail, and then we can go into what are fee agreement will require in terms of your payment.  In chapter 13 cases it is not uncommon for a person to pay my fees out over a timeline and not in one huge chunk.  This makes it easier for you to get a fresh start and start back on the road to having acceptable credit as most of us should hope to have.
