About Karen

I am the President of Law Offices of Karen Gatto, LLC. I graduated from Stetson University College of Law and became a member of the Florida Bar in 1999. I am licensed to practice in the state courts of Florida and the Middle and Southern federal district courts of Florida.

After spending several years working with the Sixth Judicial Circuit’s Administrative Office of the Courts in various court divisions, I joined a national consumer bankruptcy law firm.

For four years, I managed several of the firm’s offices in Tampa and Orlando, filing literally thousands of cases under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, I am very familiar with the bankruptcy process, the courts, trustees, and their attorneys.

I treat my clients with compassion, understanding the fear and stress you are experiencing before coming to talk to me.
