What Does a Bankruptcy Lawyer in Shelburne Cost?
The cost to hire a bankruptcy lawyer in Vermont typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 for a simple Chapter 7 case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Vermont?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Vermont you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a Vermont household of your size.

Vermont allows you to choose between state and federal exemptions to protect your assets. State exemptions include up to $125,000 of equity in your home and up to $2,500 of equity in a vehicle. You can also keep household goods, retirement accounts, and tools of your trade up to certain limits.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Vermont?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. You can begin rebuilding your credit immediately after your case is discharged by using secured credit cards and making timely payments.
