  • I recommend Kathryn Tokarska.
  • I used Kathryn 1-3 years ago.

  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
Facing multiple lawsuits and feeling desparate, I had trouble even getting returned phone calls from the legal referrals I had.

Luckily I found an ad for Ms. Tokarska and wound up with highly skilled and very responsive representation. I had huge debts and thought my case was complicated. She assured me it was not, and from filing to discharge there was not so much as a hiccup. (She did NOT promise no hiccups -- no one can -- and in fact had me thoroughly prepared.)

Not only did she know what she was doing, she appeared to be quite respected by the trustee I had. She's also very responsive to questions by email, which really really helps with the stresses of a bankruptcy.

My case, in fact, could not have gone better.

If you're reading this, you are, in fact, in a place where no one wants to be. All I can say is do not be afraid of bankruptcy--we all spend too long in debt hell. And I don't think you can find better representation.

Good luck.

Client Review:
I didn't know what to expect when I began searching for bankruptcy attorneys but after contacting Kathryn I felt comfortable right from the beginning. She's a very knowlegeable and experienced attorney. She guided me from the first email we exchaged and then answered all my questions and concerns when we met in person. She explained every step of the way and what to expect during the process. I recently got my discharge letter and can't wait to start rebuilding my credit. I would highly recommend the Tokarska Law Center and best of all, the fees are as reasonable as you'll find! Thank you Kathryn - OE

Client Review:
Kathryn Tokarska, Attorney, is one in a million. I’ve actually refrained from telling “Lawyer Jokes” since I engaged Kathryn to represent me in a Chapter 7 filing. Not only was she extremely thorough, but pleasant and caring at the same time. During our brief appearance in front of the trustee, she exhibited professionalism and attention to detail that made several of the other attorneys present appear incompetent by comparison. While her rates are extremely competitive, the level of service I received was considerably above and beyond anything I expected. Could I recommend Kathryn? A resounding YES!

Client Review:
I highly recommend Tokarska Law Center. Kathryn was exactly the person I was hoping to find when I was looking for an attorney for my bankruptcy case. She really wants to help. Through the whole process, she kept me informed, was always quick to return my emails and respond to my questions or concerns. Kathryn went well beyond what I expected and the reasonable fee for her services was worth every penny and more. -Rich

  • I recommend Kathryn Tokarska.
  • I used Kathryn 1-3 years ago.
  • Kathryn handled my Bankruptcy / Chapter 13 matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I would like to share my experience I had with my personal bankruptcy. I was experiencing a heavy barrage of harassing phone calls and letters. I didn’t know what to do. I also had fears of being labeled as a failure in society. I finally got up the nerve to call an attorney. I called many different attorneys through many different avenues. I received a few responses; but when Kathryn responded she was different and to the point and was adamant to help me when I didn’t want to help myself. She continually explained all the way through the process. While being extremely reasonable with her scheduling and fees.
I can say today that my life has turned around all for the better and I owe it all to Kathryn’s patience and understanding of the bankruptcy laws. Considering the severity of my situation; the process was smooth and extremely quick. It was over and done with before I realized. I would strongly recommend her services and consultations – it’s never too late to get a fresh start. I can’t thank her enough but, I will try.
Sincerely,
S. Thompson

Client Review:
When we got to court, it was ovious I had made the correct choice in attorney's.
While in court, I saw several attorney's embarass themselves as well as thier clients by being unprepared. That was not the case as far as my case was concerned.
It will not take long before you realize that Kathryn Tokarska is a professional who devoted to her clients and profession.

Client Review:
I hired Kathryn Tokarska as my bankruptcy lawyer, and it was one of the best decisionis I could have made.  She helped me through the entire process from start to finish in a highly professional and courteous manner.  I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and supportive through what I thought was going to be a very stressful experience.  But she made it very easy and non-stressful for me with her confidence and most of all her kindness.  I would recommend Kathryn Tokarska very highly.

Client Review:
Kathryn was extreme help for me. My condo was just 27 days before the mortgage company schedule to foreclose and thanks to Kathryn I got the President Obama “Home Affordable” program. Additionally to that good news I also do not have to file any bankruptcy chapter and she did not charge me a penny!
I’m so glad that I stoped at her office after seeing another two attorneys. You may ask - why I went to Kathryn office if I had seen another two attorneys. To be honest, each one of them give me a different suggestion what I should do. No any one of them gave me information on “how to” or an option to have the “Home Affordable” program but both counted right away how much $ I have to pay them for filling papers in court. My experience with Kathrin was all different and this is why I gave a chance to take her advice. Please stop by her office to give her a try and see on your own if she is not the honest person (between all other bankruptcy attorneys).

Client Review:
My wife and I retained Kathryn Tokarska to help us with our bankruptcy in early 2009. Not only was she very professional she was sensitive to our embarrassment and needs. She explained the process in language that we could understand and helped clarify which records we had to produce for the court. One of the most important things she did for us was return calls or emails quickly when we had questions. She communicated with us at least once a week and more often if requested. Because of all of this personal attention as well as professionalism we recommend Kathryn without reservation.

Client Review:
When this new amazing chance for me to start a new future came across, only one thing stood in the way and that was my financial past. Those heavy chains I was dragging became 100 times heavier, I had to seek help. I called Kathryn on a saturday just to get some info and it turned to be the best move I've ever made.I won't write a novel about this so i'll be concise. She was patient and understanding but most of all, Kathryn really cared. Even after the discharge has finalized she still keeps in touch and I love that. I was not just a number to her and for me, that seems like an extremely difficult thing to find.
