Professional and Timely Service
Attorney Bruce Johnson represented me when I was 19 years old and helped me to get a case dismissal from a "young and dumb" mistake. When this misdemeanor popped up on a background check for a new job opportunity, Attorney Johnson quickly came to my aid. He provided a supporting letter to inform my employer about how we handled the case and to assure them that I was capable of the work. This helped me attain the job and we are working on expungement moving forward. I would highly recommend his service!

Excellent representation
We met Mr. Bruce A. Johnson, two years ago, Our dependent was experiencing some challenges with what was a serious offense. We could have lost hope and the case but for prayers, and Mr. Johnson‘s representation. He is firm, dedicated and knowledgeable of laws in the DMV. He’s also familiar with laws in other parts of the country which proved to be beneficial in this situation. In court, Mr. Johnson was very polite, and his calm demeanor seemed to give him favor with the judge. The case ran much longer than we expected. Thankfully, Mr. Johnson was on top of dates and kept us informed throughout the process. The case was resolved, as he was successful in persuading the judge to workout an amazing resolution. We are truly grateful to God for putting Mr. Johnson in our lives to help us maneuver through a trying time. We completely, and without any reservation recommend Mr. Bruce Allen Johnson, Jr.

Always well-prepared
I was referred to Mr Johnson by another lawyer from a nearby state. He was highly recommended and I concur with the recommendation from the other attorney. Mr. Johnson was always familiar with my case and always well-prepared. He responded quickly to all my questioned and explained everything to me in a knowledgable and easy-to-understand way. He was supportive when I was in distress and helped me through the whole process, even by providing good directions when needed. To reiterate, he was always well-prepared, which to me is the most important attribute of any attorney.

We are Thankful to God for Lawyer Johnson
Lawyer Johnson was a blessing to our family. The love, compassion and support given to us will always be appreciated. Mr. Johnson guided us through what we needed and made sure we understood everything. Maybe being on time was an issue, but the result was worth the wait. I would certainly call on him again if needed. The Allen and Ferguson Family of Maryland.

Excellent Representation
I was so happy with Mr. Johnson! I'd actually spoken to another lawyer before him but didn't like the prognosis of the other guy. Mr. Johnson's office staff is professional, he always returned my calls and obviously and most importantly I got the most favorable outcome for my case! Mr. Johnson continued to be encouraging and empathetic through what was/is a VERY tough time in my life! I highly recommend Bruce Johnson!!!
