How much did you pay on the day of your ch7 file to your attorney?

[MrSmithster]

i paid the $299 filing fee the day i filed, but i filed Pro Se with a law firm filling out all my paperwork and me taking over from there. they charged me $499 for doing all the paperwork. im in los angeles and have a simple no asset 7, i went to three lawyers for consultations, all wanted over $2k including filing fee and courses.(but thru those free consultations, i realized i could file myself)

Ahh, what a nice Valentines gift...I bet you'll remember that day for the rest of your life...

LOL I thought of that this past valentines. My dh isn't one bit a romantic, so I doubt he even thought about it, but I know I sure did. As good as the food was, I guess I just never imagined I would be seeing an attorney on Valentines Day to file BK.

i had to give a $2,000 retainer, and since i have not filed yet, he said the remainder should be about $2,500 more. I have an asset case, kinda complicated. I think it is worth it, hopefully.

I now notice you are asking not how much, but how much on the day of filing.

I paid nothing on that day.

Thanks!
Wehave paid probably about $1500 or more so far and I know we are required to bring $1000 cashier's check and we are waiting to see if we need to bring anything else.
We started out as a 13, then lost job/laid off, and now we are doing a 7.

[Meh]

$1500 for everything.

1800.00 for a no asset 7. Generally he's 1600. but I have a small sole prop.
