Attorney Greg Johnson

I highly recommend Attorney Greg Johnson. Greg represented me for a DUI that I was accused of. Due to extenuating circumstances (my changing lawyers etc) my case kept getting continued for over 3 years until Atty. Johnson brought my case to trial. Greg stands out from other lawyers due to the un...ique combination of professional expertise, ethics and personal skills he has. From the first time I consulted with Greg on the phone, I knew by the way he listened to my information and the questions that he asked me about my case that I could be confident in him representing me. I previously had hired another lawyer from another firm that I did not feel was representing my best interests so I changed lawyers and was very anxious about making that change. I am so thankful that I did. I feel that my previous lawyer could have never brought me the results that Greg did in the courtroom. During my first meeting with Greg, he spent considerable time gathering all the information from me. At the end of our first meeting, he explained in detail how he would represent me, the costs I could expect and a specific plan to move forward. Greg kept in contact with me whenever he had questions or heard any updated information regarding my case. Whenever I had a question, Greg got back to me with the answer to my questions within the day. In addition, Lisa Yager, the paralegal who also works at Yannetti law firm was always so personable and helpful in answering any questions I had when I called the office. Over the course of time, I had to make a number of appearances in court due to my case being continued. Whenever a court appearance was scheduled, Greg contacted me ahead of time so that I would know what to expect. Greg was always early for any court appearances and met with me before going into the courtroom to review what would happen in the courtroom. He is the ultimate professional. Greg has a somewhat quiet, polite manner while he simultaneously exudes confidence and commands respect from opposing colleagues and the judge. His attention to detail, knowledge of the law and his presentation of information in a confident respectful manner resulted in my case being dismissed during the trial. I was thrilled with the outcome of my case. I attribute the success entirely to Atty. Greg Johnson. Being accused of a DUI Is horrible on so many levels. If however, that should ever happen, I can assure you that Atty. Greg Johnson will treat you with respect, dignity and honesty and represent you to the very best of his ability. He is an outstanding lawyer!

If You want a confident Lawyer who will work hard for you, contact Greg Johnson

I'm a 31yr old woman who had a 6yr old warrant out of BMC and other cases out of Charlestown District for money owed. From the minute I called Yannetti Law Firm I was confident I was in good hands. The consultation was free and the cost was more than reasonable. Attorney Greg Johnson after about a we...ek had me in and out of court in one day with no added probation just had to pay money owed in both courts. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and I have to say I know realize why it is worth it. Attorney Greg Johnson was the attorney who handed my case in court but I spoke to David first who called me on a Sunday after I sent a email to their office. I was amazed with how fast I was contacted and any questions I had Lisa was more than happy to get me answers. Can't say thank you enough to the Greg Johnson and the Yannetti Law Firm.
