How Much Does It Cost To File Bankruptcy in St Paul, MN?

Does it seem like an oxy-moron to you that a person who has debt has to pay for St Paul Bankruptcy Lawyer? I know, I used to feel the same way. It seems like when you are broke, there would be no way to pay for fees to begin with. However, when you are no longer paying on debt, that will typically create some room to pay for fees.

 

 

The Fees

All law firms charge different fees. Most law firms require you to pay the attorney’s fees up front before they will file your bankruptcy case. At Kain & Scott, our St Paul Bankruptcy Lawyers operate differently. We know that cash is not something that you have abundance of right now and you desperately need help now. That’s why we either accept payment in full (1975.00) including attorney fees, file fees, and credit courses, or we take payment over time.

The Payments

The way the payments work is this: you have to pay the costs up front- those are the costs we incur to file your case. So, the file fee and credit course costs totaling $375.00 must be paid up front. And the balance of the attorney fees ($2,000) we accept payments of $100-$200 per month assuming someone signs a personal guarantee for you for 2k. The payments are made interest free. We file your case first and then you start to make payments to us. That way, you get the help you need first and make payments to us later. This is for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

For Chapter 13 in St Paul, our fees are set by the court. You are required to pay the costs up front ($350- which includes the file fee and credit courses) and the balance of our attorney fees get paid on the plan- so as you make payments on the plan we get paid. Again, we file the bankruptcy in St Paul first and get paid later. If you live in St Paul, Minnesota, this is an excellent way to get your life back first and make payments later. Included with these fees are Kain & Scott’s unique FREE 90-DAY Credit Repair Program.
