Beware of “Teaser” Bankruptcy Fees and Filing Mills!! How Much Does Chapter 7 Really Cost?

With the tough economy, EVERYONE, especially people facing bankruptcy, is worried about price. “ I need to get immediate protection and eliminate my debts, but how can I ever afford it?!” “How can I find someone I can trust, who will file my case and take care that everything is done right, but who will charge me a fair price and work a payment plan I can actually pay?”

Beware of  “too good to be true” offers

In recent years, scores of lawyers, many with little or no bankruptcy experience, have flooded into the market offerings bankruptcies for $500 or less. BEWARE! Often these firms file large volumes of cases, using primarily paralegals or secretaries to handle all matters. They do this instead of having an actual experienced lawyer review and consider ALL of the client’s needs and legal issues to be sure a complex legal proceeding is handled thoroughly and completely without error. A too-cheap price can result in shoddy work. It can cause huge problems in obtaining the proper result—namely, the elimination of your debts forever!

Bait & switch

Another problem with too cheap advertised fees is “bait and switch” where there are many “add on” fees for a joint case, or a case with any tax issues, or a case with a house or car note, or any other factor that appears in most people’s situations but are considered “extras” when a client actually comes in the door. We’ve all experienced “add on “ fees when dealing with cable companies, car dealers, phone companies, and insurance companies. When dealing with something as emotionally scary as bankruptcy, the answer is “ENOUGH” when one is confused by slick promises of a low price!
