Chapter 13 is a more specialized type of Bankruptcy. Chapter 13 is a Court Ordered restructuring payment plan that can last for 3 to 5 years. A Chapter 13 can immediately stop foreclosures, garnishments, judgments and creditor harassment. The majority of Chapter 13 clients choose this Chapter to protect an asset or because their income is too high. The restructuring plan pays different creditors at different amounts. When done properly, a Chapter 13 can eliminate large debts while protecting assets. In most Chapter 13 cases, Attorney fees are built inside the repayment plan and paid by the Trustee. The Court allows attorneys to charge between $3,500.00 - $5,450.00 for a standard Chapter 13. The Court has approved my fees to be $5,450.00 based upon my skills, experience, knowledge and quality of work. $5,450.00 is a lot but that equals about $90.00 per month and its paid by the Chapter 13 Trustee.
