The fee charged by attorneys for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy varies from city to city and state to state. It would be advisable to contact attorneys near where you live to find out what they charge for a Chapter 7.
In addition to the attorney's fee, there is a separate court filing fee which the bankruptcy court charges to file your bankruptcy. Contact the bankruptcy court that is closest to where you live to obtain the current fee information. The bankruptcy court filing fee information should also be available online.
