Creditor in a Chapter 13 case

Cindy Johnson was recommended to me by 2 different attorney's and she did an excellent job in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case where I was the creditor. She kept me informed, was trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. I was fortunate that she understood my case immediately and protected my financial ...interest. I would recommend her.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Cindy was opposing counsel on case. Unfortunately for me, she had the better side of the case and a thorough knowledge of the law. Because of these two factors, we settled early, which was a good result for both clients. Since that time, Cindy is my go to person for all creditors rights and bankruptcy questions."

"I have had the pleasure to work with Mrs. Johnson now for nearly two years. My Attorneys and I find her to be an excellent reflection of what it means to be Creditor's Counsel. She is fair and even handed. She is honest and will give you her opinion in a respectful manner even as she zealously protects her Client's interests. I look forward to continuing my work with Mrs. Johnson in the future. I definitely endorse the work of this fine Attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I first worked with her as opposing counsel on a matter, and found her to be pragmatic and efficient. She stated her case briefly and concisely, and without hyperbole or overstating her position. Since then, I have relied on her as a sounding board for legal theories, and as a mentor in cases where I am a "fish-out-of-water". She is razor sharp, both in her legal analysis and knowledge of the procedures, and a pleasure to work with."
