How a $2,500 Chapter 7 filing walks away
Wednesday night. Prospect just got a wage garnishment notice.
8:45 PM
Wage garnishment — prospect searches for help
Paycheck garnished for the third time. He's behind on rent and can't make car payments. He searches 'bankruptcy attorney near me' from his kitchen table.
8:52 PM
Forms submitted to 3 firms
He found 3 attorneys with free consultations. He needs someone to tell him there's a way out — tonight.
8:58 PM
Competitor calls back
Another attorney got a text notification. She called within 6 minutes: 'I saw your inquiry. Let me walk you through your options right now.'
9:20 PM
Consultation booked for tomorrow
She explained Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 in plain language. He booked a full consultation for Thursday morning. He could breathe again.
Thursday 9:00 AM
You see the inquiry
12 hours too late. He already has an attorney. A straightforward Chapter 7 filing — $2,500 — gone.
$2,500
One Chapter 7 filing. But bankruptcy is a volume practice. Miss 3 per month and that's $90K/year in lost revenue.
Bankruptcy-specific challenges
02
Volume practice requires fast conversion
Bankruptcy is a volume practice — individual case fees ($1,200–$3,500) add up. Losing 2–3 cases per month to slower response time is $36K–$126K in annual lost revenue.
03
Filing deadlines create natural urgency
Foreclosure sales, wage garnishments, and creditor lawsuits create hard deadlines. Prospects who don't find an attorney fast enough may lose their home, car, or wages.
average fee per case — bankruptcy is a volume practice where speed wins
