The cost of filing for bankruptcy varies depending upon the lawyer you choose to use.
Across the board, the federal cost associated with making the actual filing is the same in every state - $299. The real costs come with hiring an attorney, which can range from anywhere from $500 to $2,000 or more.
Some lawyers will charge a flat rate, and others will charge by the hour as they would with any other case. Look for a lawyer that specializes in bankruptcy everyday and you'll be more likely to get a better deal financially.

∙ 10y agoYour best bet is to sit down for a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney. Consideration must be given to your age, the amount and type of debt, your assets, your future income, marital status and more. A reputable attorney will take the time to sort through these things and determine what course of action is best. There are different types of bankruptcy for different situations. Granted, a lot of details have to be covered, but again, a good attorney will take care of that for you.
