After talking to several bankruptcy lawyers, the ones locally all seemed to be factories and more interested in taking my money, but not so enthused about walking me through the process of what was a devastating result of losing my job. I had to file bankruptcy so my family could survive while I looked for work.
Thank God!, for Karen Gatto. Her mind is razor sharp, she is fearless, and she really knows the law. She literally soothed my nerves, her matter-of-fact "this is how you do it" simplification of even the most complicated difficulties took me into a new mindset and mentality. Karen is terrific, friendly, super-smart and I learned very quickly, even the top paid, elite lawyers in the Tampa Bay area cannot hold a candle to her. They fear her. So no matter what your bankruptcy looks like to you, Karen Gatto has laser vision on how to manage the situation and get you the best outcome. Don't look any further, she is your lawyer.

Karen, I just wanted to thank you again for being there for me during an extremely difficult time in my life. At the beginning, during, and the conclusion of the process, you were there not only as counsel, but as a dear friend - someone who just made all of the stressful moments along the way disappear. I was more than a case number. I was treated as a real person - as if I was your only client. I never had anything to worry about with the entire process because you made it all okay. Not only with your legal experience, but with your wonderful, thoughtful, caring self. You helped make it all okay even during the toughest moments, and I can never thank you enough for the fine lessons I have been taught and the second chance.
Karen, thank you!!! CLP

Karen is a remarkably astute and decent lawyer. We had 5 lawyers who performed poorly, turned their work over to assistants resulting in numerous errors and typos in court documents. This was frustrating and expensive, and embarrassing. When we hired Karen, we finally got excellent competent legal counsel. She turned everything around and fast! Literally, after nearly 2 years. once we hired Karen Gatto, things ended in a matter of 10 weeks. Done, finished! Nothing is too tough for her and she's a stand up lawyer. Don't believe all the peer reviews of lawyers, believe testimonies of real clients, like me!
