We are very fortunate to have found Kathryn!

First of all, do not tackle filing bankruptcy on your own. It's a very complex process. Hire an attorney. Deciding to file for bankruptcy was initially an emotionally daunting task, but it was the right step in the right direction, and I'm glad we did it with Kathyrn. We were referred to Kathry...n by a good friend who successfully achieved their bankruptcy goals under her services. Kathryn demonstrated empathy and a deep understanding of our situation until we received our Chapter 13 discharge papers at the end of our four-year repayment plan agreement. She was thorough in her processes and incredibly responsive to our questions and concerns. Even though she was our attorney, she embodied the role of a therapist and helped guide us through those stressful moments. She always brought a lighter perspective to our doubts and continued to clear the path before us— and it was a long four-year stretch. We understood that completing a Chapter 13 repayment plan didn't have a high success rate, but it made sense for our needs. And ultimately, Kathryn helped us cross the finish line, and we could not have done without her. We absolutely recommend her services! THANK YOU, Kathyrn, for being with us on every step of our journey! We can finally restart with a fresh and new outlook on our life!

Exceptional Bankruptcy Attorney

Prior hiring Kathy, I had my own thoughts similar to those negatives such as the stigma of filing bankruptcy, it being very difficult to carryout, and that it was a disastrous event to incur. From my initial consultation just getting the bankruptcy process started was cleared up as Kathy was: patien...t, answered all my questions, and made me aware of things I shouldn’t do that unbeknownst to me would only delay being able to file bankruptcy. In comparison to other bankruptcy lawyer consultations I had, I felt she was exceptionally seasoned in bankruptcy proceedings. Due to the COVID-19 climate, I was somewhat hesitant to retain her as I never met her in person aside from a video meeting. Nonetheless, Kathy was great with communication via email, phone, or video meeting. Now, having gone through the Chapter 13 filing process and receiving an order confirmation of my bankruptcy plan, I can say the path down bankruptcy is none of the aforementioned negatives and was a straightforward move to get my life and finances intact. I highly recommend Kathy as a bankruptcy attorney.

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.

Bankruptcy doesn’t have to be scary…

Kathy Johnson made filing bankruptcy easy and always assured me and kept me in the loop! I was referred to her by my sister and I am glad I was able to file and get ahead. People have so many reasons for filing and it can be scary at first but Kathy made the experience easy and she never stopped hel...ping me through the entire process. She really went out of her way to make sure my best interest was always the focus. She will make sure you understand and are comfortable with the terms. It was a hard decision to file but really was the best for me. Kathy and I worked together to make adjustments during the process and now I’m done!! I could not be more thrilled with how this process went. Kathy was prompt with emails and questions I had, which I had a lot of situations come up during my bankruptcy, but she was there making sure everything was in order!! I admit I was probably annoying at times but Kathy was great. The greatest aspect for me was being able to finish ahead of schedule, Kathy definitely had my best interest in mind and goes to bat for her clients!! If your thinking about filing definitely give Kathy Johnson a call. Thank you Kathy for the open communication, understanding my concerns, and making filing bankruptcy an easy process.

She knows what she is doing!!!

Kathy really helped me throughout my process of going through Bankruptcy. She is very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I was so scared of even starting the paperwork and process however Kathy explained what I needed to do and fill out. I did the Chapter ...13 - where it took me 3 years to pay off my debt. I know I could have not done this without her help, guidance and knowledge. I am truly grateful and blessed to have had her by my side and guiding me through the difficult time in my life. Thank you, S.M.
