The filing fee for a Chapter 7 is currently $209 and Chapter 13 is $185. The filing fee goes to the Clerk of the court and your attorney, if you use one, receives no part of that. Your attorney will charge a fee for his or her services in the bankruptcy proceeding. The range of fees charged is almost as varied as the complexity of cases.
