Made me feel better about my bankruptcy

Kathy was great from Day 1. I didn’t know what to expect, I wasn’t even sure if bankruptcy was the right direction for me, I also had a possible foreclosure and huge equity loan looming over me. However, I sat down with Kathy and we talked about the details, what I could and couldn’t do. She created ...a plan that was specific to my needs, I was in school, and had federal loans, she helped figured out how to deal with the forbearance as well. She was great in communication, in person or email and made me feel better about the process every part of the way. It’s a long, grueling, unnerving process and it’s not worth trying to Google your way through it. I’m a lawyer myself but no background in bankruptcy or the experience that Kathy has. You want someone who knows what they are doing, I have already recommended her to others and I will continue to do so. 2 and a half years later- my bankruptcy has closed, I’m on my way to building back my credit and starting with a clean slate. It was worth it, and Kathy helped make it happen and made it so much easier.

Knowledge and Good Communicator

We hired Kathy to file a bankruptcy for my niece. The initial visit was a free consultation. She explained in detail how a bankruptcy worked, the type of bankruptcies and provided a cost for each of the types. Additionally, she explained the timeline, what was involved in each process, what was re...quired by the client and what her role was. There was no pressure. We hired her shortly after the consultation. During the process she kept us informed. Everything went smoothly and the cost were exactly what she said they would be. She has excellent communication skills, is very knowledgeable, and her fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

There For Me Every Step of the Way

I hired Kathy Johnson to help me with my defaulted student loan. It was easy to make an appointment with her. She clearly explained all of my options. She answered all of my questions and it was very easy to understand everything she said. Once I decided how I wanted to proceed she was there for... me every step of the way. She was professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I found the resolution I was looking for, and she saved me lots of money!

Knowledgable and professional

I was divorced for almost one year prior to needing bankruptcy legal advice. I made a phone call to Kathryn after reading reviews and recommendations from the State Bar of Arizona website, During our consultation meeting I decided that she was the right attorney to advocate my interest. I have neve...r regretted my instincts about trusting her to guide me through this complicated process! One issue we faced was that my ex wife had pawned two prized antiques, inherited from my late father, without my knowledge or permission. Kathryn, knew the steps we needed to take in order for me to regain possession of these artifacts. Although I had to submit money to my Bankruptcy Trustee, I was able to keep my antiques to one day pass down to my children. I highly recommend Kathy Johnson to anyone that needs a personal bankruptcy attorney!

$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.
