Professional, meticulous and rock solid. They knew what they were doing. They did everything. It was much easier than we thought and was over with before we knew it, 60 days. Garnishment stopped and all debts were completely discharged.

I was overwhelmed by tax debt. They explained my options in plain English and all back taxes were discharged in the bankruptcy. I couldn’t believe it.

I never wanted to go through this. I felt I shouldn’t have had to, and I was sick about it.
I was referred to Stephen Johnson, and let me tell you something about this man: He took that sick-to-my-stomach, “I shouldn’t be here” feeling and made it so much easier to handle. He walked me through every step. His staff stayed in constant contact with me and helped me feel better about the whole process. Even though I was horribly embarrassed to be going through this, Mr. Johnson helped ease that embarrassment and close this chapter of my life. I am very thankful for the Law Offices of Stephen Johnson, and I am recommending him to anybody and everybody for sure.

This office is very professional and on top of everything. They made a hard situation much easier as I had to file after my divorce. Use them! You won’t be disappointed

We did a careful search before we decided on an attorney to help us with tax problems and credit card debt that was out of control. There were some very complicated issues in our situation; however, the attorney and his case manager managed our case perfectly, and we received our discharge without a hitch. He managed to include all of our past tax debt, and it was completely discharged permanently. The office staff was outstanding and gave us support when we needed it the most. The whole process was painless.

I found myself in deep financial trouble and was starting to lose ground fast. I had never thought about filing for bankruptcy as an option, so I went to consult with the Law Offices of Stephen Johnson, Sierra Bankruptcy. I did not realize there were so many other options besides filing bankruptcy. They explained everything clearly so I could make the best choice. They did not pressure me but encouraged me to think about the pros and cons of each option so I could make the best decision.
I ended up filing Chapter 7 because it was the best option by far, with the shortest credit recovery time. It was also very affordable, as they were willing to work with me on a payment plan. The staff was great and helped me every step of the way

Our experience with this law firm came at a very difficult time in our lives. The staff was great and helped us through the entire process, which made the whole experience surprisingly easy. Both attorneys were very professional and experienced, and we knew immediately that we were in good hands. We simply filled out the paperwork and the law firm did the rest. Our court hearing went smoothly and took only a few minutes. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who wants quality legal services at a good price. The payment plan also really helped us.

Stephen is a fantastic attorney, and I’m glad that I met with him first. He is personable and down to earth. The process of BK was quick and easy. I did my job by reading and providing every bit of information they needed, and they did their job and made it all happen while answering every question I had.
The hardest part of the process was the trustee — she meant business and was a bit intimidating, but rightfully so. One of Stephen’s attorneys represented me, and he knew exactly what he was doing and handled everything calmly and professionally.

I highly recommend attorney Steve Johnson to anyone seeking justice and help with legal matters. After dealing with two other lawyers who missed an important court hearing, refused to file documents, and failed to return calls, my brother referred me to Steve.
Steve listened carefully and immediately recognized we had been taken advantage of by dishonest attorneys. He asked for all pertinent information and drafted a clear, firm letter to that law firm. The letter outlined the violations that would be reported to the State Bar if we did not receive a full refund within three days. After weeks of no response, their attorney called me directly to negotiate. With Steve’s counsel, we stood firm and requested a full refund, and we received it, along with an apology letter, within the week.
Steve has also helped us work with a new attorney in our area by drafting letters, guiding us on what to expect, and holding that attorney accountable to file paperwork and appear in court. He even coached us on how to respond to questions in court.
Steve truly cares about his clients and wants the best outcome for them. Call Steve. You will be encouraged, guided, and grateful you did.
