Fees in a Bucks County Bankruptcy - Chapter 7

Posted by Paul at 12:22 PM

The credit to this picture comes from a bankruptcy listserv of which I am a member which then attributes the picture to Reader's Digest.  


Attorneys fees should always be discussed with your Bucks County bankruptcy attorney at the first consultation.  The filing fee is $306 for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Bucks County, which is set by the U.S. Trustee. 

After discussing legal fees, a client must understand that those fees must be paid prior to the filing of the Bucks County bankruptcy.  A Bucks County attorney cannot be considered a "creditor" under bankruptcy law.  Therefore, any payment plan arrangements must be satisfied prior to filing the Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Bucks County. 

Finally, each Bucks County attorney is required to file a statement with the bankruptcy petition outlining the legal fees (not including the filing fee) received from the client.  This is to ensure ethical behavior and transparency in the attorney.

    Hi there! great stuff here, I'm glad that I drop by your page and found this very interesting. Thanks for sharing, keep it up!
    If your gross income is above the median income of the state in which you reside, you cannot file for Chapter 7, but filing Chapter 13 may still be possible. There may be other options available to you as well, and we will help you review these choices.

    Thank you for sharing. Many people don't know that it is sometimes possible to avoid filing bankruptcy altogether by working out a financial solution and payment plan. The best bankruptcy help is preventing you from ever having to file for bankruptcy.
