How Can I File Bankruptcy in Georgia with Limited Money?

One of the advantages of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that usually all of your attorney fees are paid through your plan.  In a Chapter 13 filing, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court inGeorgia sets the amount that an attorney can charge for Chapter 13 legal services.  In almost all cases, attorney’s fees are be paid out of the monthly payment plans, requiring no money down for attorney’s fees.

Beyond attorney fees, you will also have to pay the Bankruptcy Court a filing fee.  In most instances, the Chapter 13 filing fee can be paid in installments, making it easier for filers to afford.
