Our proposal was to increase the Chapter 13 RARA fee to $5,000 for individual cases and to $6,000 for business cases. Judge Jury informed me that by an overwhelming majority the judges voted in favor of the proposed increases.

Although we worked very hard to increase the RARA fees, please keep in mind that you always have the option of submitting a detailed fee application instead of the RARA in Chapter 13 cases. By filing detailed fee applications, the courts have an opportunity to see how much work goes into chapter 13 cases. Therefore, also I encourage you to file fee applications.

I cannot thank the committee enough for the pay raise we are all about to
receive who practice Chapter 13 cases!!!
I anticipate my ability as a sole practitioner to play at the gambling
tables for the DAP at the next golf/tennis/loserstable event!
And I do hereby volunteer to be on the next committee pushing for the next
increase.
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication on behalf of us all!!! I
am grateful!
