Lacked professional standards

I was assigned Lisa Johnson without having the opportunity to meet her and assess her competency. While my husband was causing the separation process to go longer than expected, it was Ms. Johnson's unprofessional delays and failure to communicate that caused me to sever my relationship with her and ...the firm. While I tried to reach her by email many times when my husband was shutting off all my utilities, there was only silence. It took two weeks with me finally calling the firm's head attorney before she was instructed to call me. A paralegal never even touched base and the head attorney had no access to my case to offer help. When finally she called, she said she was too busy in court to answer my emails or reach out to me. I continued to work with her and my last communication with her was to ask if we were ready to sign papers. Twenty-four days went by without a single word from Ms. Johnson. I was served with a lawsuit by my husband's attorney at the end of this time and after learning that the lead attorney couldn't access my details when Ms. Johnson was unavailable, I decided it was time to find an attorney who would do their job in a timely manner with a firm that shared access to cases in case my attorney was unavailable. I found out that the only reason the lawsuit was brought against me was because of the delay in hearing from my attorney, which opposing counsel and in particular my husband assumed was caused by me stalling and dragging my feet. I have to incur much greater fees to go to court because of her lack of professionalism and perhaps her inability to handle her case load, and that is after 4 1/2 months and $4700 of accomplishing nothing. I am starting virtually from square one with a new attorney who in one week has accomplished more. I cannot in any way recommend her for help with legal matters due to her lack of performance. I gave her a two star rating because I couldn't bring myself to give only one star, even though she wasn't proactive -which meant reacting to the other attorney at every turn- and my case never moved forward in any perceptable or meaningful direction.

Great Lawyer !

Ms. Johnson did a great job with my divorce. Initially, I had hired a local lawyer in Concord who was disaster. Luckily, through a mutual acquaintance, I was put in contact with Ms Johnson. She did such a fantastic job, I consider my fortune to having her represent me in court. Again, phenomenal lawy...er.

Divorce and custody

Attorney Johnson was an excellent advisor and counsel during my two year divorce and custody case. She helped me walk away with what I wanted and she was relentless in getting the things I needed. I have recommended her to several people because she is an excellent attorney.

Compassionate with a Great Heart

Ms. Johnson represented me in my divorce. My husband and I were married for 3 years before we separated. I had two young babies to raise on my own and no help from anyone. Lisa was willing to help me when no one else would help. She met my daughters and from that meeting I saw that she was more than... just my attorney, she was compassionate and understanding. I loved her interaction with my kids and how professional she was with me. She took a lot of pressure off of me and made things easier to deal with. Thank you Lisa for everything!!!

"Lisa has been a great mentor to me in my career as a fellow NC Attorney. She knows the ins and outs of the Family Law statutes and the Court neuances. I have seen her argue in court and she not only can make her case effectively, but she works well with other Attorneys across the bench. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a Family Law Attorney. She will handle your case professionally and you will be pleased."
