Bankruptcy

Kathy handled my bankruptcy in 2013. It was a hard decision for me but once I contacted Kathy, she professionally guided me through the whole process and made it easier for me. Just recently, an old creditor popped up to haunt me. Kathy immediately handled the situation in record time and got it ta...ken care of. I would recommend Kathy to anyone in need of a good bankruptcy lawyer.

Having to deal with all the stress and sleepless nights over bill collectors, filing bankruptcy with Kathryn Johnson was the best decision I’ve made in my lifetime. She handled everything professionally and reassured me throughout the whole process. She was top notch!!!

A new start

I REALLY needed help after my divorce when creditors threatened garnishment and we're harassing. Kathy looked over my debt and exclaimed my options and the law concerning my joint debt. Nobody wants bankruptcy but it gave me a fresh start and the chance to be debt free from years of financial chaos... I didn't create by myself. In the end it was the best thing I ever did!! She walked me through the process and was always available when I had questions. I highly recommend her to anyone facing feeling overwhelmed and scared by their finances.

My experience with Kathryn Johnson

A few years ago, I found myself in an extremely difficult financial situation. I had hired a debt consolidation company, in order to pay off several credit cards and still survive financially. I succeeded in doing this, with the exception of one. The one that was left, came after me mercilessly. Init...ially they demanded $500.00 per month, which was my monthly rent. They went on to serve me papers to garnish my wages. I was terrified, as this would have put me in a state of near homelessness. I contacted Ms. Johnson, and she was able to meet with me quickly. What struck me very favorably was her demeanor; there was no judgment, no attitude whatsoever. She was kind and incredibly thorough, explaining my options, the procedure, what to expect, and payment. Ms. Johnson was there every step of the way, and consistently offered support and guidance throughout the process. I can't thank her enough for helping me to make the right choice for me, and making what had been a humiliating and difficult choice much easier. Additionally, I have referred several friends to her, all of whom have been equally thrilled upon meeting and working with Ms. Johnson. I truly feel that I could not have found a more skilled, talented, and genuine person to work through with the situation.

$150 to tell me to call my loan company

Paid $150 to help stop a garnishment for student loans. She knew this was the reason. After paying the money she told me the only thing I could do would be to call my loan company and ask for a rehab. She didn't try to contact anyone on my behalf and literally took $150 to tell me to call someone els...e.
