How Much Does It Cost to File Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in San Jose and San Francisco? And how long will it take to get my case filed?

How much does it cost to file a bankruptcy case with an experienced consumer bankruptcy attorney in San Jose or San Francisco?   It is hard for people to obtain this information online, and they do not want to have to come in for an office appointment just to know bankruptcy attorney prices.  While the total cost may vary depending on how complicated the case is, we will currently represent debtors in Chapter 13 proceedings for as little as $400 as an attorney fee retainer to get the case filed, and we represent people in basic Chapter 7 proceedings for as little as $1200.00 + out of pocket costs.  Unless the court will grant a fee waiver, all Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 filers are responsible for the court's filing fee, which is approximately $281.00 to $306.00.  When need can be demonstrated, the court may allow the filing fee to be paid in installments.
