Supreme Representation

Being in a place where you're caught up with the law can be a stressful and confusing situation. Ms. Johns not only guided me through the process, she also got me the results I wanted. If you want a lawyer that cares and gives their undivided attention to you and your needs, Ms. Johns is the one. I ...felt confident walking into the courtroom and Satisfied leaving. There's only one way out when having Ms. Johns as your attorney and that's out of handcuffs and free.

Best Lawyer Ever

There are no words to explain how excellent Theresa Johns were during the time of my case. She was straight forward with me all the way from the beginning to the end. I really couldnt ask for ANYONE OR ANYBODY else to handle my case but Her. And I would strongly recommend her to everyone I know. And ...as a result of my case im happily to say im Free to live on with life.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
