Re: Cost and fees

I'm in Maine and mine cost $2100 including the lawyer and filing fee. Shop around though, I got prices from 1800 to 2500. DONT go cheap though. You want. Lawyer you're comfortable with and who is accessible.
Was ready to put down payment with one lawyer and he didn't respond to an email for 3 days. Went to my lawyer and she was prompt and courteous.
Bottom line, shop around and find someone you can afford and also feel comfortable with.

Re: Cost and fees

Agree with jmclaughlin. Shop around. I talked to about 3 different attorneys, visited two. First one I visited seem good, but she wanted $2750. Thought it was a bit high, went to talk to another highly reviewed attorney, and they were even better than the first attorney, and wanted $2000. From what I remember, when filing as a couple, it was just a few hundred more. I'm also located in TX, in the DFW area. Where are you located?

Are you to include debts that you know that you owe but are not reporting on your credit report for one reason or another ?
