MJTG

Let me start by saying, If you do not appreciate Marty Johnson as an attorney or Like Marty Johnson as a person; there is something fundamentally wrong with you. MJ was highly recommended by an attorney friend of mine from Fairfield, CT. I made an appointment and became his client 60 minutes after. ... MJ is sharp as a razer. He is honest and cares about his clients. He will not allow your child to be affected by your divorce!! MJ will do what is needed and at the right time. MJTG is the title I gave him, which stands for Martin Johnson The Great. MJ is respected and admired by everyone, from the moment you park your car in the garage, walk through security, in the elevators, in the hallways, and most important in the court room representing you before the Judge. MJ knows the law, which earned him another title by me; THE PROFESSOR. This is the best law firm and the best attorney you can possibly have in your corner. MJ is the Michael Jordan of matrimonial matters – Pun intended!

The G.O.A.T

A good friend once told me “Who you surround yourself with, is a reflection of who you are”. Mr. Johnson sets a very high bar. It has been a pleasure and honor to have Mr. Johnson represent me over the years - my divorce and what has turned out to be 2 post matrimonial matters brought by my ex-wife ...and her family. I’ll get right to the point because that is how Marty rolls, you either have Mr. Johnson in your corner or you don’t. Mr. Johnson is not simply the best, he is hands down the Greatest Of All Time. Walk the halls of the courthouse and into the courtroom with Mr. Johnson and you will observe that he is universally respected by everyone, from the other attorneys, judges and even the security guards. This respect is well deserved and has been earned over many years of hard work and success realized on behalf of his clients. I am forever grateful for Marty and thank him for serving me and my family so well.

The Best Attorney

Mr. Johnson was recommended to me by an attorney friend. He was highly recommended and thought to be the "best" in Rockland County. I had been through the Family Court system of Rockland County with another attorney and was disappointed. It took a long time to find someone who I could trust to do ...the right thing for me and my son. Mr. Johnson proved to be the "best". He was admired in the Court Room by everyone he came in contact with. He is a shining star and dedicated attorney. Mr. Johnson is a highly respected and competent attorney whose confidence and outstanding knowledge of family law was proven by the results he achieved in the handling of my case. During a custody proceeding there are so many emotions the client experiences and having the skill and expertise of a successful experienced attorney is so important. He was there for me every step of the way and I am so grateful that I chose this outstanding attorney. He is simply "THE BEST"! I would highly recommend Mr. Johnson.

Superior Marital Attorney

Martin Johnson is the most highly regarded marital attorney in lower New York State. His expertise and experience make him far superior to any other marital attorneys. Every time I went to court, other lawyers would always come up to me and say, "is Marty your attorney?" When I said "yes," they wo...uld say, "you have the best there is." Marty is very honest with his billings, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Marty as a marital attorney. He is simply the best.

If you want the best, hire Marty Johnson

Simply said, Martin Johnson is the best matrimonial attorney in Rockland County. When I needed a matrimonial lawyer, I spoke to 15 attorneys and asked each of them to list the top three matrimonial attorneys in the county. All 15 attorneys listed Martin Johnson in their top three; most of whom ...listed him as their top choice. Martin represented me for more than two years. Martin is a scholar of matrimonial law. He is the lawyer that other lawyers turn to when they have a question about matrimonial law. He has an incredible eye for detail. He remembers everything anybody says to him and is incredibly eloquent in a court room. Martin is also an expert statistician. He routinely suggested alternative strategies, ask for my participation, communicated honestly the risks and benefits of our alternative approaches. With each phase of our defense, he asked good questions, He always left me confident that I had selected the right attorney. Over the past two years, for better or worse, I have had the opportunity to get to know Martin well. When you are in trouble, Martin Johnson is the kind of attorney and advocate that you want in your corner. Through my experience, I have learned that your likelihood of a positive outcome is not only based on the quality of your case and your willingness to participate in the process, but it is, at least, of equal importance to have the best attorney possible. Without hesitation, I can assure you that Martin Johnson is the finest choice for matrimonial law....hands down.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked on a number of cases with Mr. Johnson as opposing counsel. He is a tough litigator and impressive negotiator with a courtroom presence and signature style that has earned him the respect of the bench and bar. He remains one of the most experienced divorce lawyers working in New York State and brings a wealth of experience to his cases. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a smart, skilled and ethical attorney in a complex family law matter."
