Beyond Excellent Representation (Trial Case)

I do not even know where to begin, the past few years have been so hard for my family due to charges my relative received; felony and misdemeanors. Timothy worked so hard and put in over 30+ hours into this case. If you look at statistics 90% of cases in VA go to a guilty plea and my family remain fa...ithful and Timothy was willing to fight for us until the end! He fought through the trial, his hard work was noticeable and he overcame the major odds of winning this case. The results were the best we could have ever imagine. If you have a criminal case; especially traffic related, I would recommend 1000% that you retain the services of Timothy Johnson. He was transparent, straight forward and sensitive to my family’s needs. I pray that for people in need of justice find his services at the right time! I am so grateful to you Timothy! May God bless you!

I was floored by your family's and friends' support for your relative, and truly believe that it helped make a difference in the outcome. I look forward to hearing wonderful things about you and yours, so please keep in touch! Thank you for entrusting me with your family member's legal needs. - Tim

Very Helpful

Atty. Johnson was clear, knowledgeable, and kind in assisting us with a traffic issue. He made a distressing situation much better and got us to a conclusion. We were very thankful to find him since hiring someone in another state can be daunting.
