What Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer in Brentwood Cost?
The cost of hiring a bankruptcy lawyer in California typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 for a simple Chapter 7 case. Chapter 13 cases are often more expensive, with fees from $3,000 to $6,000, because they require more court filings and plan management. Court filing fees are separate and currently about $338 for Chapter 7 and $313 for Chapter 13. These costs can vary based on the complexity of your case and the lawyer's experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts, like credit cards and medical bills, but you may have to sell non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan to pay back some or all of your debts. California has specific income limits for Chapter 7, and you must pass the means test to qualify.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years from the filing date. However, you can start rebuilding your credit soon after your case is discharged.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Brentwood?
Yes, you may be able to keep your home if you have enough equity protected by California's homestead exemption. California allows you to choose either the state homestead exemption or the federal exemptions. The state homestead exemption can protect up to $600,000 or more of equity, depending on your county and circumstances.
