As a San Diego bankruptcy attorney I know that filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 debt relief can be very stressful.  The cost of filing for bankruptcy will vary between cases but we want to be as straight forward as possible with you.  First, you have to consider the filing fee.  The fee you pay to the court is $299.00.  Second, our fees for filing bankruptcy start at $800.00.  It is that simple.  We offer a free consultation to make sure that you qualify for a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

As a San Diego bankruptcy attorney I am often asked how, if the consumer already cannot afford to pay his or her bills, can the consumer be expected to pay a bankruptcy attorney?  We certainly understand that this can be a dilemma but, because we have been in business for 35 years, we can suggest certain alternatives.  First, if you have been making minimum payments on your credit cards it might be a good idea just to stop making the payments until you save up enough cash to pay your San Diego bankruptcy attorney.  But, we want to caution you that you must seek legal advice before you do this.  Also, you may be able to work out a payment plan.  Regardless, we are here to let you know that we will do our very best to make sure that you can afford your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.

The question of attorney fees brings up an interesting problem: Do I find the cheapest attorney and go with that person or do I make my decision based on a number of factors?  We would submit to you that take the second option.  This is not to say that price should not be a factor, but it CERTAINLY should not be the only factor.  You need to balance the cost with experience, personal service and skill.  At the Law Office of Harold D. Thompson we strive to give you the best bankruptcy service in San Diego at an affordable price.

On of the most rewarding aspects of being a San Diego bankruptcy attorney is being able to provide a high level of customer service and attention to those in financial need.  Because we have been in business for 35 years, we know how to maximize results and the lowest possible cost to you.  You will never have to worry that your bankruptcy attorney is learning the ropes on your case!

Also, when you are considering fees, be very careful about bankruptcy attorneys and law firms with big advertising budgets.  It is almost impossible for these lawyers to offer you a competitive rate because of their high overhead.  The only way these attorneys can turn a profit is to pass their advertising costs on to you in the form of outrageous attorney fees.
