I know you have to pay the court fee out of pocket, but do you have to pay the attorney out of pocket or may the fees be taken care of like other bills?
Ok, my fiance has over ,000 in medical bills and we contacted a credit counseling agency and they told us to contact a bankruptcy attorney.
How much to attoryneys fees run for a bankruptcy?
his credit is already ruined and there is a pending lawsuit against him for the medical bills. They won’t take and payment unless it is a minimum payment of 400 a month and we can’t afford that. That’s why we were told to consider bankruptcy.
No I am not including myself in this bankrupcty. We are not married but would like to get married. My credit is excellent his is screwed, we can’t get married until this is taken care of because of the credit issues. That is why I am trying to figure out options for him.

all fees are paid upfront.

$11k is not insurmountable- it will take discipline and a few years, but it can be paid off- please reconsider ruining your credit over only $11k.
And, no, the lawyer is not ;taken care of’ YOU are responsible for them.

No. And the other bills aren’t "taken care of." I don’t think you’ll find a lawyer to file it for you without 100% of his/her fee up front. Edit: If you are not married, I hope you don’t include yourself in the bankruptcy. That’s a whole new set of problems. I don’t where you are or if fees are comparable but a bankruptcy lawyer was $1,400. several years ago.

could a couple of $1000 for a lawyer and filing fees and you have to pay the lawyer in cash in full before he will do anything for you – no you can’t include the legal fees in the bankrup
