Simple Chapter 7 cases in West Hollywood, California
A simple, low-cost Chapter 7 usually fits if you rent, drive an ordinary car and have little money saved outside retirement. Income is the other test. For one person, the California median is $79,253 for cases filed on or after April 1, 2026, and for two people it is $102,797. A couple earning the city's typical $96,995 would fall under the two-person line. The case gets more complex if you own a condo, hold a share in a bar or studio, or moved money to family before filing.
What can make a Chapter 7 cost more
Some cases take more work. Equity above the exemptions, a business, a creditor lawsuit inside the bankruptcy, recent transfers or a prior case can all add time and cost. If your case needs more, we tell you before you sign, not after.
