Legal fees are a big source of mystery to most people, as very few have to deal with attorneys and legal matters on a regular basis. It can be confusing, as it’s one of those thing for which there can be a number of different answers for the same question.
The most common for individuals are Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, the most common filings for businesses are Chapter 7 or Chapter 11. Before filing for a Chapter 7 an individual must pass the bankruptcy means test, a test designed to filter out higher incomes that could be shifted to Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 – which are more complex filings. There are some fees that are inflexible and these are associated with the federal courts.
