For a San Fernando household earning the city's median income of $83,024, $1,538 is about 22% of one month's income before taxes. It is a little less than 0.9 months of San Fernando's median rent. The court charges every filer the same fee, no matter which lawyer you hire.
Why the price matters in San Fernando
San Fernando's median household earns $83,024 a year, about $6,920 a month, so the starting price is under 2% of a year's income. With about 6 in 10 homes owned, the biggest risk in a cheap filing here is the house. A form service may guess the home's value or choose the wrong exemption system, and a trustee can sell a home with equity the exemption does not protect. A dismissed or botched case can also cost the $338 filing fee. Ask us to look at your home's value at the free consultation before anything is filed.
What the cheapest options can cost you
A petition preparer can type your forms, but by law cannot give legal advice or go to the meeting with you. A do-it-yourself case can miss an exemption, a deadline or a property issue, and a dismissed case can make the next filing harder. A low fee only helps if the case is done right.
