For a Commerce household earning the city's median income of $77,064, $1,538 is about 24% of one month's income before taxes. It is a little less than 1.0 months of Commerce's median rent. The court charges every filer the same fee, no matter which lawyer you hire.
Why the price matters in Commerce
The true price of a bankruptcy in Commerce is the $1,200 starting attorney fee, the $338 court fee and two courses that typically cost $50 or less each. A dismissed case can mean paying a new court fee to file again. A cut-rate preparer may quote less, but cannot advise you on what to list or which exemptions to claim. If a wage claim, a car or a tax refund is missed, you can lose it or have the case dismissed. A low, flat, published fee with a licensed attorney is a different thing from low-quality help.
What the cheapest options can cost you
The lowest price is not always the lowest cost. Online form services and petition preparers are not allowed to tell you which exemptions to claim or which chapter fits. If a mistake costs you a car, a tax refund or the discharge itself, the savings disappear fast.
