That will depend on what kind of bankruptcy it is and what kind of motion it is. Ask your bankruptcy lawyer. They will tell you what the cost will be.

Breckenridge and Walton | Alan D. Walton
Depends on what you are moving for. You might well be asking how much for tires on my vehicle - is it a Schwinn, Harley, Hummer, or a Mack truck. You need to specify what you are talking about. When an attorney gets into a case, they are in for the long run, so you need to give us a clue as to what your "emergency motion" entails.

Generally there is no extra fee for it being an emergency motion. But you can call your local bankruptcy clerk and she could tell you exactly how much. Good Luck!

Grasso Law Group | Charles Grasso, Esq.
I'm not sure what you are asking concerning a motion, it would depend on the motion. If you are asking how much it costs to file an emergency bankruptcy petition, then (if filing on your own) you would be subject to the filing fee of $299 for a Chapter 7. If you cannot afford the filing fee, you can ask the court to waive it or allow you to pay it in 3 installments.

Melinda Murphy Dionne, PC | Melinda Murphy Dionne
I'm sorry but there is no way to answer your question without knowing more facts. An attorney can either quote you a flat rate based on how much time he or she believes will be involved in the filing and prosecution of the motion. Other attorneys may charge you by the hour. The answer to your question depends on how complicated the motion will be and how much time it will take to handle it to completion.

Harkess and Salter, LLC | Stephen Harkess
Your question is unclear. What sort of emergency motion? Most motions do not have a court filing fee, so if you are drafting them yourself and representing yourself, the cost is usually free. If you are hiring an attorney to draft and file a motion, the cost will depend on how much time it takes to draft the motion and how much rush is involved.

That completely depends on what the motion is. Also, realize that there are fees for filing an application to shorten time (which may be needed in an "emergency" motion). Go to your local BK court's website, or call the clerk's office to find out what the fees are for what you need to do.
