are there fees attached to a loan modification

Your current lender or servicer is the best source to answer your question. Your loan will remain with them.

That's a trick question.. The Government agency that over see's mortgage loan lending (CFPB) has rules in place that mandate that loan consultant must be licensed as a mortgage loan originator. Also, they are not allowed to charge anything upfront.. as far as which fees can be charged if your loan modification is successful, and how much they can charge, that's hard to answer.. I don't believe there are any rules limiting how much can be charged.. If your going through your original servicer, they might charge a fee, and it should be lower than if you use an independent company... but independent companies can charge what ever they wish..

Most likely there will be fees, the best source will be the current loan servicing agent handling your loan as their may be different fees from different servicers.
