Why the price matters in Hawthorne
Hawthorne's median household income is $75,848, or about $6,320 a month before taxes. Our Chapter 7 flat fee starts at $1,200, and the court adds a $338 filing fee, so the starting total is about $1,538 plus two short courses that usually cost $50 or less each. That is about 2% of a year's pay for a typical Hawthorne household. The cheapest paths can cost more later: a petition preparer can type your forms but cannot give legal advice, and a do-it-yourself case can be dismissed for a missing paper. Read about the risks of cheap filing before you pick a path.
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.
