What Affects Your Rate

Petition preparation fees are based on complete, organized documentation with straightforward finances. Additional services are priced separately and will always be communicated to you before work begins - no surprises.

Expedited preparation fees apply when a complete, organized file is received and turnaround is required within 48 hours. Expedited availability is subject to current caseload - please confirm availability before submitting.

There are no hidden fees and no mid-project surprises. If anything affects your rate beyond the standard preparation fee, you will know before work begins.

Payment is due upon completion of each petition unless otherwise agreed.
Payment accepted via check, ACH transfer, or major credit card.

Not Sure Where To Start?

Most attorneys start with Chapter 7 preparation and add services as the workflow develops. There is no minimum commitment and no long-term contract - you send files when you need them, and I prepare them. That's the entire arrangement until you decide otherwise.

If your firm files consistently high volumes of petitions, let's talk. Ongoing working relationships matter to me and I'm happy to discuss arrangements that work for both of us.
