That money goes to the court clerk. The filing fees do not absolutely have to be paid in advance, but I do strongly recommend it. The filing fee for Chapter 11 is $1,717.00. The attorney fee for a Chapter 7 is usually between $1,000.00 and $1,500.00, depending on how complicated the case is. Some newer attorneys and high-volume attorneys do charge less, but as with most things, you get what you pay for. For business cases and other complicated situations, the fee could be much higher.

Trump, suggested that he might reduce the national debt by persuading creditors to accept something less than full payment.
Trump promises again to revamp Wall Street reform rules. âWeâre going to reduce taxes, weâre going to eliminate wasteful regulations,â Trump said at a meeting attended by corporate leaders and members of his cabinet.
