utah bankruptcy lawyers
What is the usual cost to get a bankruptcy lawyer?
I’m in Utah and am going to be filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy soon. Obviously, I’m filing for a reason and I don’t have much money for a lawyer. So, I’m just wondering about how much I’d be spending for a lawyer to take care of it, or if I should just learn & do it without one. Thanks for the help!
Once again, it depends. If you have no assets and are willing to put some time into it, go for it. People who respond that you need an attorney are either people who had a ton of assets, trusts, went through a divorice, are incompetent, have never filed before and read on google that it is hard, or are simply attorneys looking to make a quick 2500 bucks. It is NOT hard. It is actually pretty simple considering. I filed my own chapter 7, got the credit counseling fee waived and the $299 filing fee waived. I saved well over 2 grand. The clerk at my courthouse was super friendly as well. If you miss a form, they let you know. If you are a no asset case, I could probaby help you out if you have paypal 
Otherwise, being broke is the best thing. You get your credit counseling fees waived…those are about 75 bucks each, and you get the 299 filing fee waived.
And to answer your question, I had the simplest bankruptcy known to man and the cheapest attorney wanted to charge me $1600.
