A: If you that is your complete situation, you can do a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for $1500 to $2000 plus filing fee of $335.00.

Chose the best Bankruptcy attorney that you can find because things can go very wrong, even in a simple Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

A: That will depend on what type of Bankruptcy you file. A Chapter 7 with less than 20 creditors will cost you between $1750 and $3000 for legal fees.
