I usually charge more than $2,000 for a Chapter 7, but there are some lawyers who charge less than that. If you are not satisfied with your lawyer, you should think about whether it is in your best interest to change to a different one. But it does sound like this lawyer has already given you some advice, and he might expect you to pay for his time if you decide to change. Ultimately, you should only work with a lawyer you feel like you can trust. Some state bar associations have fee mediation procedures, so you could try calling them.
