Best Bankruptcy Lawyers in Kenner, LA

Look for an attorney who focuses primarily on bankruptcy law, is licensed in your state, and has strong Google ratings from clients who mention clear communication and realistic outcome expectations. Ask whether they handle Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or both — not all bankruptcy attorneys handle every case type.

Chapter 7 attorney fees typically run $1,000–$2,500 depending on case complexity and market. Chapter 13 fees are usually $3,000–$5,000 (often paid partially through the repayment plan). Court filing fees are $313 (Ch. 7) and $313 (Ch. 13) as of 2025.

Chapter 7 cases typically discharge in 3–6 months. Chapter 13 involves a 3–5 year repayment plan before discharge. The initial filing provides an automatic stay (protection from creditors) within hours of submission.

Ask whether they practice primarily bankruptcy law, how many cases they handle per year, whether they will personally handle your case or delegate to paralegals, what their total fee covers, and how they communicate updates during the process.

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and total review counts. We display each attorney's rating and review volume so you can compare track records. Independently confirm bar membership and standing with your state bar association.

Document all communications and file a complaint with your state bar association if you believe there was professional misconduct. You may also seek a second legal opinion, request your case file, and consult with a legal malpractice attorney if you suffered financial harm.
