    How Lawerys are paid in Bankruptcy?

    I'd like to understand the way lawyers (representing debtors) compensated in a bankrupcy case.

    I know they usually charge 1K - 10K+ for consulting, filing, hearing, etc.

    But are these only way to get compensated?

    Hiring a bankruptcy lawyer is not always the best thing to do in a bankruptcy filing situation. Sometimes, bankruptcy lawyers cost too much and people near personal bankruptcy often do not have the money to hire bankruptcy lawyers.

    With the recent changes in the bankrutpcy laws, the new bankruptcy laws make it harder to find bankruptcy lawyers.

    Discussion of Personal and Business Bankruptcy.

    I guess so,unless an amount can be retrieved out of the case can there be any hope of getting paid?

    Some attorneys offer free cases depending on your situation. Also, some of them are willing to work with you by setting up affordable payment plans.
    Attorneys are not stupid, they know people close to bankruptcy are broke, thats why they are filing in the first place

    Then how are you going to file without an attorney?
    The average person does not know how the U.S. legal system works much less how bankruptcy law works. Try to go at this alone and you could royally mess things up and end up having to pay more than if you had hired a lawyer in the first place

    I know I hired an attorney for mine. The tips he gave me are helping us get through this trying time with way less stress.

    I paid $100 for the initial meeting and we are working on paying him the total of $1500 for the whole case.

    Well worth the cost to us.
