also known as Law Office of Joseph Collier
I focus my bankruptcy practice on Chapter 7 cases and personally handle my clients' cases from start to finish. If you hire me, you work directly with me — not with an assistant or paralegal.
My fees are straightforward. My flat fee for an individual Chapter 7 case is $1,500 total, and my flat fee for a joint Chapter 7 case is $2,000 total. The current $338 Bankruptcy Court filing fee is included. In addition to the flat fee, clients are responsible for the small fees charged by approved providers for the two required bankruptcy courses. A payment plan is available if needed.
I also do not accept payment toward my flat fee until after your bankruptcy documents have been prepared, reviewed with you, and signed.
I stand behind the representation I provide. If you fulfill your responsibilities under our agreement but the Bankruptcy Court does not grant you a Chapter 7 discharge, I will refund 100% of the flat fee you paid me. This applies to entry of your Chapter 7 discharge and does not mean that every individual debt is necessarily dischargeable.
I offer a free 30-minute Chapter 7 phone consultation so we can discuss your financial situation, whether Chapter 7 appears to be a good option for you, and what you can expect if you decide to move forward.
To schedule your free consultation, please message me.
