Custody and child support

Tara Johnson is an amazing attorney. She has been there every step of the way during my custody and child support process. She clearly explained each process as it's happening. She contacts me every time she hears any type of news. Which for me it's a big issue because I like to be informed of what i...s going on. I definitely recommend her for anyone needing legal help.

Help with child custody

I went into this overwhelmed and had no idea how to handle the situation, Tara took the the time to help me understand the ins and outs of what needed to be done, the best course of action pertaining to my individual case, and was always there to help with any questions i had.

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.
