THE CHOICE OF A LAWYER IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION AND SHOULD NOT BE BASED SOLELY UPON ADVERTISEMENTS

NOTICES:

Although the fees for a majority of cases will be as stated herein, we MUST reserve the right to charge more or less than the amounts quoted depending on the complexity of your case

We cannot accept credit cards. Payments may be made by check or cash
Filing Fees are paid to our Office and we remit them directly to the Court when your case is submitted
PLEASE NOTE: It is our intent that the fees listed above be all inclusive. However, additional fees will be due if you fail to appear at any required hearings, fail to provide us documentation or information in a timely manner, provide us with inaccurate or misleading information, or in the unlikely event of an adversarial hearing. Additionally, for Chapter 13 proceedings, additional fees may be due if "post-confirmation" matters are needed, such as plan modifications, payment suspensions, or if post-confirmation motions are filed by creditors or the Trustee. Ask us if you have questions or if anything needs clarification.
We choose to list our fees in our website. Many lawyers do not do this. Of those that do, many quote "bare bones" fees. If you are comparing fees on this basis only be very careful, or you may be rudely surprised. This is one of the many reasons we do not charge for our initial meeting.
