It appears that the bankruptcy lawyers, the greed and instinct of monopoly gradually increased the price of personal bankruptcy, the only realistic alternative to the apparently now trying to be a non-lawyer bankruptcy low cost. “Studies have shown that many lawyers doubled their fees to the new requirements imposed by the BAPCPA 2005. Thousands of borrowers are priced bankruptcy attorney,” says Stephen Elias, a California lawyer and author specializing in bankruptcies and of several books on the subject. “Because the rules for the practice of law, the only legal alternative to the attorney representing the agency itself … bankruptcy petition preparers can help you in your efforts.”

The point is so clear. The fundamental task before us now in bankruptcy, is the development of a reliable, low cost of bankruptcy, which is simple, and easy access straighforwards, and most importantly, affordable for most debtors who have or bankruptcy and are legally able and entitled to file under the rules of eligibility. It is not a “gift” to be imposed or a kind of “favor” by “the law” or a kind of piety is the establishment benefactors legal. However, a direct claim and sacred gift of the U.S. Constitution. It is a task that confronts us all, especially the constituency of the bankruptcy and the bankruptcy of the leading companies that control the current bankruptcy system – the financial sector and credit, the courts, Congress, but also to entrepreneurs individuals and ideas people propose new ideas, or how the current system to fix damaged personal bankruptcy, and yes, lawyers, bankruptcy and a bar, and others.

But if more immediacy and urgency of the time, but we call this new system of responsible, qualified U.S. contractors, institutions and organizations that are capable of being interpreted as expected, to propose and media practices and effective methods – alternatives to the current completely insufficient and inadequately controlled bankruptcy attorney – that allow applicants to bankruptcy in fact legitimate exercise of their constitutional right to seek relief in bankruptcy legitimate option when needed – just as accessible and affordable. In short, America, both public and private sector must quickly prepare, develop and implement a radically different, but effective declaration of bankruptcy, the millions and millions of reports on current bankruptcy, further, that the bankruptcy through the pipeline in a real opportunity cost for them to file for bankruptcy – the 1.4 million U.S. taxpayers (Or more) expected to come to search, bankruptcy relief in the calendar year 2009 only, and beyond.

In fact, although many prefer bankruptcy lawyers in the shadows, many other lawyers to recognize objectively that the legal costs of the bankruptcy law is frequently a major problem and concern of the debtor and clients in the practice of bankruptcy law.

“You have to pay legal fees to advance cash to Chapter 7. You can also go bankrupt poor,” said Professor Robert M. Lawless, University of Illinois College of Law has already been said.

Another observer, Jenny C. McCune, editor, contributing to Bankrate.com, said that rather surprising that we are now at the point where the financing of a debtor in bankruptcy may have reached, “adding:” It may seem like a dead sound .. -22 . who have no money to declare bankruptcy, but you need legal certainty [money] to join the bankruptcy tax. “

Janatha Ginsburg, a bankruptcy attorney, said in Atlanta, Georgia, in telephone conversations with their calls often face severe financial crises, the question of possible bankruptcy, according to the first question is often a Whole “The next question , I want rates: do “If I have money, how can I afford a lawyer? “

Bankruptcy lawyers, the art of argumentation and defense of the training is clearly unsustainable, particularly if the focus is on protecting a lucrative living, often diving into what is essentially needed to justify high fees philosophical arguments deep it – always a good deal “for borrowers, taking into account the much larger sums that the release in the discharge of bankruptcy if the debtor is” really “pressed hard enough for his debts and” serious “about it , will be found, defendant if he really “serious”, there is always some legal fees, for example, withholding of payments, had to deal with other creditors then pay the lawyer, increases the burden of reducing debt, etc, etc is a complex web of arguments that have to wait another day to face what would. But for our immediate needs of this section, the relevant question is clear. The point is clear that the average American debtor already shaken by the debt burden first object is, is not trying to address through bankruptcy, the average cost of a bankruptcy lawyer (around $ 2,000 or more for a simple Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and $ 4,500 for his counterpart, Chapter 13) is high, unprecedented in the act and is often simply beyond their means – in short, it is priceless.
