Excellent Attorney - Highly Recommended

This review is long overdue and is more than well-deserved. A couple of years back, I had visited Staunton, VA with some friends. Before the night was over, I had received a charge and had to return for court. I looked around at several attorneys and had a few consultations. After a few rounds of tha...t, I found Susan through a Google search and contacted her. She offered a free consultation and spent 30+ minutes with me on the phone going over the details of my case and the events leading up to the charge. She was extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and genuine in the consultation, which really stood out to me more than the other attorneys I spoke with. She gave me very solid advice and offered a very fair price for representation. I thought it over for a couple of hours and I quickly called her back, which was a very good decision. In the months leading up to the court date, Susan checked in on me several times and gave advice. When the day finally came to go to court, Susan talked to the prosecuting attorney and they decided not to pursue the charges against me, and gave me 25 hours of community service instead. The anxiety and tension I felt about potentially having a charge on my record faded away after that date. I could not be more grateful for the great work that Susan did for me. I will always recommend her to anyone who's looking for legal representation in Staunton and the surrounding areas.

Excellent Attorney

Susan represented me for a reckless driving ticket in Augusta county. Susan provided incredible service and got the ticket dismissed. On top of that her rare was exceedingly reasonable. Would be happy to work with Susan again, but hope to not have a need anytime in the future.

You Want This Attorney In Your Corner

Ms. Johnson was an excellent legal advocate. Her knowledge, skills, and dedication exceeded my expectations. She listened, tackled, and followed up on everything from petitioning multiple courts, talking with court services, addressing the DMV, setting up community service, and following up with al...l parties. Her efficacy expedited the restoration of my driving privileges and saved me money.

Wonderful

Susan agreed to take my case on a Friday afternoon after I was unable to contact my public defender, she met with me at her office on Saturday and represented me Monday, she is wonderful and goes the extra mile

Susan Johnson: Smart, articulate and organized

Admittedly it was a fairly routine case of exceeding the speed limit. But I had been driving for more than half a century without ever having had an accident or points on my license. And as a newcomer to Virginia receiving a speeding citation did not seem a propitious way to begin a new life here. B...ut thanks to Susan Johnson I needn't have worried. Realizing that I was in unfamiliar territory both geographically and legally (my only previous appearances in court had been as a juror) she knew precisely what needed to be done and she efficiently set about doing it. I was impressed with her intellect, her legal knowledge, and her verbal skills. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan Johnson. She is a gem!

"Susan Johnson is on of the most effective criminal defense attorneys in Virginia. She is the "go to gal" for criminal defendants in Augusta County. I have worked with her on a number of cases and she is always on top of the facts and the law. She frequently obtains results for her clients that are much better than one would normally expect. I would trust Susan to handle any criminal matter. Although she is one of the top practitioners in the state, her fees are still very reasonable. You cannot go wrong with Susan."
