Dan Johnston is a very knowledgeable & skilled attorney. He has helped me with contractual business matters when trying to decide if a move was the right one to make, traffic matters for tickets I’ve received, etc. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top notch attorney!!

Upstate speed traps

I consulted with Dan Johnston regarding, what could have been, a very costly speeding ticket that my daughter incurred. His sage advice saved me hundreds of dollars and several points on her license! Dan was very willing to take the time to educate us on the relevant laws. I can confidently recomme...nd Dan Johnston!

Satisfied customer

I had a situation last year where I needed help fast. Mr. Johnston took my call faster than anyone else I reached out to. He was extremely helpful caring when I needed it the most. I could never thank you enough for what he did and I highly recommend him. Thanks again Mr. Johnston

A God Send

Daniel Johnston was an absolute God send. I had a case in which I had lost complete hope. I interviewed nearly 30 attorneys, all of which left me with no hope, or told me that I was "chasing good money for bad money". In a nutshell, a lending group had breached a contract and lost a substantial amoun...t of money that I had transferred to them. Daniel reviewed the case and gave me hope. He has been 100% committed to helping me resolve this case. Unlike all of the other attorneys I spoke with, he was creative and successful in his approach. He backed our group from the moment he interviewed us. The outcome of the case has been going in more than a positive direction. It is refreshing to meet an attorney that is fair and who cares. I am extremely appreciative and blessed to have Daniel on our side.

He is one of the few attorneys I have worked with who clearly uses his broad, fluent understanding of the law to come up with creative, cost-effective solutions, resolving even the most unique legal issues on a budget.
