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.

What a great lawyer!
I want to thank you again, Mr. Collier. You helped us through this bad situation from the beginning to the end. My wife and I decided to file bankruptcy in July due to Covid-19. We couldn't afford the business rent, credit card debts, and etc.. We had contacted several bankruptcy lawyers at that time...

What more can be said? Found Mr. Collier on Craigslist, then did a Yelp research ... Best decision made. From the very beginning, Mr. Collier explained everything from A to Z regarding the process and what documents were needed. Throughout the process, we were constantly reassured that all would be t...

Satisified Customer
Joseph Collier was recommended to me by son, who also had previously hired him. He started with a free 1 hour phone consultation and explained the process and he disclosed all fees up front. I met with him at his office and he prepared all the bankruptcy documents for the court. Shortly before my ...

Unprofessional and Incompetent
In March 2018 I hired and had been this attorney's client to represent me with my bankruptcy case, which he wrongly suggested as the only route to fix my financial issues. This attorney does not have an office - we met at his house. He then failed to provide me with a copy of the representation agree...
I successfully handled your Chapter 7 bankruptcy case as you received a court order discharging all of your debts. At the end of your bankruptcy case, you also wanted me to represent you in various other legal disputes and you became upset that I elected not to represent you in these other matters. Thereafter, you took it upon yourself to completely fabricate a review of my law firm in order to cause me harm. I am sorry that you became upset because I could not help you in your other legal matters, but it does not justify your slander of my good name. I am proud of the good service that I provided you in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy case and I was sincerely gratified to see you get the chance to start over and build a financially secure future. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors.
