Responsive and honest consultation

I contacted Daniel for a consultation and he was incredibly responsive and refreshingly honest. With a quick turn-around time and ample detail in his responses I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision.

Excellent!

Mr Johnston defended me when I was wrongly accused. Needless to say, the case was dismissed. I highly recommend! He's a very bright guy and extremely good at what he does!

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer!

I’ve never written a review, however after retaining Dan Johnston for a criminal case, I absolutely wanted to. Dan reached out to me quickly after I contacted him. I’d gotten a “criminal marijuana possession” ticket in Nassau County, Long Island, and was concerned for many reasons. One being that cas...e would show up on any background check for a job interview for at least a year. From the start, Dan was very knowledgeable and compassionate towards my situation. He also put my mind at ease over case. I’m still amazed that Dan got my case to be expunged after 30 days instead of 12 months. I’d strongly advise reaching out to Dan if you’re in a legal bind and need a knowledgeable, passionate, no BS lawyer that’ll fight for you.
