Best attorney I have ever dealt with

We hired Martin for a custody case. Ex wife was horrific she had custody for many yrs! Kids were removed from her custody within a few months of filing. Martin was professional, on time, took no crap from the other side. Best legal experience we have had.

Coming from somebody who has never needed a Lawyer before

For somebody who has never needed a lawyer before, unfortunately i got involved in a horrible custody battle that is still ongoing, I have been using Martin Johnson for almost 6 years now, with me having no knowledge of the rigors of court or what to expect in a messy battle, I couldn't imagine hav...ing anybody better than Martin Johnson, I am a man with disabilities and was nervous about being in a court room and what to do, Martin Johnson, couldn't have walked me through it better, couldn't have prepared me better, couldn't have represented me better, not only have we done well in court, the only concern i have going forward would be if I didn't have Martin Johnson and his staff in my corner, unfortunately i have had one or 2 other lawsuits in the past few years, not in family court, where i had to deal with other attorneys, there professionalism , accessibility, preparation, etc, was not as i expected because i was used to Martin Johnson who goes above and beyond in every way imaginable!! it might seem like im giving high praises ,that because I am, and they are well deserved, 6 years in and counting I couldn't recommend him any higher

Life Saver

Before I hired Marty, my ex-wife was trying to take the children full time, every dollar I had and was making wild accusations. Within one week he restored order and calm back into my life. Going through a divorce that involves children can be as mentally draining as anything you will experience, let... me tell you right now, Marty Johnson will take your life back for you. Having him in your corner will change your life moving forward. Marty will NEVER let you get pushed around and will always get what is best for you and your children. I do not know where I would be without him.

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!

Simply the best!

My wife hired Marty to finalize her divorce with her ex-husband and an extremely contentious custody battle ensued. Without getting into an insane amount of detail, I would say that the entire ordeal was a complete nightmare, lasting many years because my wife's ex-husband is a miserable person with... plenty of money and a ton of time on his hands. Marty is an amazing attorney. When you are with him you feel confident that he will get you the best outcome possible and he certainly did. We literally never lost any of the many different cases we had over the years despite having an awful Attorney for the Child who clearly sided with her ex-husband, multiple judges, including a horrible judge who couldn't remember anything from one appearance to the next and certain situations that put us at a major disadvantage on paper. Marty is tough so if you want your hand held, he is not your guy, but if you want to win your case, he 1000% is your guy. He is simply the best - he has a courtroom presence like no one else and it's clear that the judges respect him. We are extremely thankful that he represented us and owe him a tremendous amount of gratitude for going the extra mile for us. Hiring him is an absolute no-brainer!

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."
