Excellent representation
Jim Johnson represented me in a dog bite case. He went above and beyond in working with me, bringing my case to a conclusion that exceeded my expectations. He also supported my desire to help stop others from being attacked by the dog. He was unfailingly kind and extremely professional. I strongly recommend Jim and would definitely hire him again if needed.
