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!

Excellently smooth experience, trusting and honest.

Filed Chapter 7 with Kathryn Johnson. She was very nice, understanding and honest upfront. I spoke to about 6 other Laywers and Kathryn was not intimidating or cocky in person or over the phone and made me feel very comfortable from begging to end. Thoroughly educated me before and after the entir...e process and didn’t make me feel foolish for asking the same questions a few times for reassurance with certain situations. We were able to do almost everything electronically which was very convenient. Kathryn also met me at my home to bring documents for review and signatures. This was such a great experience and not one bit catastrophic or overly stressful. I highly recommend Kathryn. Just provide all the documents requested and answer all questions and Kathryn will take care of the rest ON TIME. Thank you so so much Kathryn! :)

Easy Process with Kathy

We were intimidated by all the information pertaining to a Bankruptcy. After meeting Kathy, that intimidation went away. She was so empathetic and I felt so comfortable working with her. She literally took care of everything and made the process so easy! The only thing we were responsible for was pro...viding our financial information to her. After that, it was all a piece of cake! Kathy always kept us updated throughout the entire process. She is a fantastic lawyer who cares about you and your needs. She is by far the best choice for BK lawyers.

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.
