Simply the best.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Dave for the past 25 years but only recently have I sought his legal representation. My wife and I retained Attorney Johnson's services in late 2012 for what we expected to be a routine real-estate transaction. Without going into great detail, our routine transa...ction became a legal nightmare. Dave Johnson and his wonderful paralegal Karen Rizzo provided my family with the strong, intelligent, and no-nonsense legal expertise that we desperately needed to rectify the situation. If you need legal representation for any reason, let your research end with Attorney Johnson and his associates.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
