The filing fee is presently $313 to file a Chapter 13. The court sets the original attorney fee at $4,000 in this jurisdiction. Different law firms will require different amounts upfront to file a Chapter 13. At the Robert Russell Law Group, you do NOT need to pay this upfront to file a Chapter 13. In fact, in a lot of circumstances, we simply need you to pay the $313 filing fee. If a different law office tells you the Chapter 13 attorney fees are less than $4,000, they are likely telling you that the amount they require to be paid upfront is less than $4,000. Their full original attorney fee is likely the standard and the court set $4,000.
