You may make payments to us online with a PayPal account. But, please call us and let us know when you use this system. Click through this link to go to our PayPal payment page.
Please be aware that if you file bankruptcy, you must not use a charge card that you are discharging in bankruptcy to make these payments. Instead, use a debit card or, for instance, have mom and dad use their charge card or checking account.
If someone does make the payment for you, paying them back is ok. However, you must track the payment amount, who the payment is from, and why you have to make this payment.
Bankruptcy Attorney Fees and Payments
Here are a few things you need to know about payments to attorneys for bankruptcies.
- Our prices are normally flat fees for Chapter 7 in over 90% of our cases.
- We are paid in Chapter 13 cases from the plan payments and all of the attorneys are normally paid the same fee.
- If you have an unusually large case with multiple homes or businesses the fee is higher.
- Normally, attorney fees must be paid prior to filing the case. We cannot be a creditor. In fact, there are ethical rules that apply to all attorneys about clients paying upfront when entering into a contract for bankruptcy.
- You must sign our contract before we can accept payment. Call us and we can email or fax it to you. You may also drop by our office to pick it up.
