I have recently completed the nightmare of filing Ch 7 pro se. There is NO QUESTION about how much you all earn! Sure, I saved us over $1000 by doing in myself, and I learned a whale of a lot! But the stress, aggravation, and worry about “did I do it right” has born painful witness as to the value of a good,honest, competent bankruptcy attorney.

Thanks, Steven! For most people, it’s quite understandable that hearing the cost of legal services feels like leaping into a cold swimming pool, but I think it’s always important, for anyone, to keep the cost-benefit ratio in mind …

You make a great point – often times people look at the hourly rate and think that it is overpriced. But what most don’t do, and they should, is look at the hourly rate vs. the payoff. You will save so much money with a Chapter 7 filing that the cost really is negligible.
