Should of Hired Tom Johnston to Start With

After being egregiously taken advantage of for several years by another Indianapolis real estate attorney who took full advantage of my situation my daughter found Tom Johnston to take over my case. The first thing we did was met him in his office and explained our terrible experience. He was not ...only professional but I could sense he had a genuine interest in helping me. Tom got busy on the case right away and in a matter of a few months it was over. He was victorious! I cannot thank him enough. I only wish I would have found him first! I do not believe for a minute that I would've won the case with the other guy who essentially took me to the cleaners!!

A most able lawyer

Being both knowledgeable and personable Tom helped make my legal real estate experience much less painful than I had anticipated. I had the odd problem of wanting to give my house back to the bank and be relieved of my indebtedness. Although not a normal way to go about foreclosure Tom had enough k...nowledge of the real estate world to make it happen for me. I am now free and clear of that mortgage. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. I never felt talked down to. Tom really cared about how I was doing with my case. The pricing was upfront and fair. I highly recommend using Thomas Johnston for any real estate issues you may have.

Great Attorney. Friendly, Affordable, and Professional

I have worked with Tom for quite some time. He has helped numerous people achieve loan modifications on their mortgages and settle debts. He always charges a fair price and is very easy to talk to. His knowledge of various forms of real estate law is also very high. Would recommend him to anybo...dy. I have already.

My Go-To Guy for Everything related to Real Estate.

As an older lifelong Real Estate professional I have worked with many lawyers. I started using Tom on a few things once in awhile over 5 years ago. As my confidence in him grew I have used him more & more. He now is the guy I call first about anything concerning Real Estate. He has a strong "Git-...R-Done" attitude which is coupled with a great depth of knowledge of the law & wonderfully lucid and concise writing. Tom is one of the very few lawyers that I have worked with that I feel like I get my money's worth when I involve him in a project or problem.

Posted by Christy | December 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Student loan debt resolution

I hired Tom to help me navigate options to resolve confusing private student loan debt with compounding interest and late fees. Tom was knowledgeable about the systems and shared my options (not just bankruptcy) as well as a recommendation. He clearly communicated next steps and how he could facilita...te. Before I chose Tom as my lawyer, I experienced lawyers who were ambiguous about their terms, only wanted to focus on bankruptcy, or who did not educate me about what before/during/after such a debt might look. Tom's rates were evidence of his compassion, especially given how hard he worked to negotiate and help me resolve my debts (which he succeeded in doing). He is down to earth and a great communicator. I highly recommend him to anyone out there who is considering taking loans, feels in debt but wants more options than bankruptcy, or who wants an experienced negotiator.
