This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very informative

My needs, thankfully, didn’t involve courts and pleas, but to me the Estate documents preparation and the process leading up to their preparation were just as significant, and to someone needing much guidance throughout the process, Mr. Johnson’s willingness to be patient with my questions and change...able needs, especially in this troubled time of the pandemic, were most appreciated, as was his friendly but professional manner. He made sure that no case, however benign, is too small to matter to him. Thanks!

Carolyn, Thank you for your kind words and review. It was a pleasure working with you on your estate planning matters. I hope they won't be used for many years! Thanks for entrusting me with your legal needs. I look forward to seeing you around town (especially as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides). - Tim

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
