This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

what a wonderful attorney

Dane represented me in 2011 concerning my older beloved jack russell "mouse".it was a case of negligence of a veterinarian..he stuck with me through thick and thin for over a year and was successful in a settlement.what a fin and dear man and a great attorney.

Professional, compassionate, and thorough!

Dane recently helped me with a lawsuit about a foster dog. He not only was professional and thourough, but compassionate and understanding. He was able to bring great strategy, and we did not end up having to go to trial. I do not give him an excellent review just because he won my case. He did a... great job, and knows the law!

Knowledgeable Animal Lawyer

Dane Johnson was referred to me by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. He assisted me with a highly complex horse ownership issue that began with a request for assistance in filing a lien to clean up the ownerships records. The case quickly mushroomed past the original intent and became bogged down wit...h multiple parties involved. It took nearly 10 months to resolve. Throughout this case Dane was compassionate to all parties, professional, timely, accessible, and above all, constantly researching the laws and consulting with colleagues and other specialists in the field of animal law to identify the next best course of action for us, his client. He spent countless hours investigating all the allegations made by various parties to ensure that he had the correct information before proceeding. To assist and aid in our corporate communications, he wrote several summaries of the case along with his recommendations in a version that was simplified for the layman. This extra step was highly appreciated. While we didn’t end up using any of the legal tools such as the original lien, it was because of the work of Dane that this case finally came to closure.

Worker's Comp Negotiations Top-Notch

I recently hired Dane Johnson to represent me in negotiations with Oregon Worker's Comp. He did an excellent job in all respects. His initial consultation with me was thorough and his explanations as to what to expect on a time-line were accurate. This was after an initial failed attempt to work w...ith a previous law firm out of the area. Dane is to be commended for his continuous communications with me, and his style was always "just right" in terms of aggressiveness versus workability in his dealings with the state agency. I wouldn't hesitate a moment in recommending Dane to anyone needing representation in this area of the law. Thank you, Dane.

Dane, our hero

Dane assisted us with a difficult situation. He advised us completely on our choices. Including those that would not require his assistance. He worked diligently and kept up on the deadlines. He kept us on an even keel when emotions where raw. We look forward to him assisting us in the future in... our preperation of contracts that we will need to avoid further difficulties.
