How Much Does It Cost To File A Bankruptcy in Massachusetts?


One of the most common questions we are asked is: how much is filing for bankruptcy going to cost?


There is no simple answer to this question, since everyone’s circumstances and needs are different. That said, our office typically charges a legal fee ranging between $800 and $2,000 for a standard Chapter 7 bankruptcy and between $2,500 and $5,000 for an average Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In addition, there is the court’s filing fee ($338 for a Chapter 7, $313 for a Chapter 13) and a fee for the credit counseling requirement, which typically ranges between $30 and $40. These are very general parameters; Chapter 13 cases, in particular, can incur additional fees and expenses, depending on their course.
