How much does it cost to file chapter 7 Bankruptcy in California?
The filing fee (nationwide, not just CA) for Ch 7 bankruptcy is $299. You can expect your attorney fees to be in the range of $1500 – $2000 in California. Your bankruptcy attorney does far more than "fill out forms."
You can hire a non-attorney form-filling-out service for $300 – $600 but if "filling out forms" is all you want (NO legal advice can legally be given by "form-filling-out" services) you can do that yourself for free (not recommended, but some have done it and managed not to get their cases dismissed for common pro se filing errors).
