This is a completely inaccurate description of what took place in the case. The client started out requesting, needing, and therefore paying the flat fee for a Chapter 13. Subsequently, their financial situation changed several times which required multiple office meetings and changes to their documents prior to filing for which I did not charge them extra. They ultimately needed, and I filed, a Chapter 7 which they received a discharge of their debts. They provided inaccurate information to me causing me to have to make several amendments to their documentation after we filedfor which I also did not charge them anything extra. Finally, I DID REFUND THE DIFFERENCE IN FEES FROM THE CHAPTER 13 RATE TO THE CHAPTER 7 RATE AS I STATED I WOULD. Not only did I not "keep the money", I refunded the amount I said I would even though I ended up spending many more hours on the case than I anticpated. My fees for a Chapter 7 are very reasonable and are certainly less expensive than a majority of attorneys in the area and I would suggest anyone compare. My flat fee for an individual Chapter 7 debtor normally ranges from $1,200 to $1,500 and this fee INCLUDES me paying the court filing fee of $335, me paying the credit counseling fees, and my appearing at the 341a hearing. Most attorneys quote fees without including these items.
