Melinda Faye Johnson

Review Title: Lack of Commitment and Care in My Custody Case I had a deeply disappointing experience with Melinda Johnson at Johnson Law Firm located Conyers. Ga. I hired her to help me secure custody of my daughter, a case that was extremely important to me and my child’s future. Unfortunat...ely, Atty Johnson showed little concern, effort, or urgency in handling it. Communication was terrible—I had to constantly follow up for updates, and when I did receive responses, they were vague and unhelpful, right before the court date. Instead of providing strong legal guidance, I felt like my case was an afterthought i.e. such as missed deadlines, lack of court preparation, or failure to present strong arguments. What upset me the most was the complete lack of empathy and dedication toward ensuring the best outcome for my daughter. Many conversations materialized into a condescending and accusatory meeting with me. It became so apparent of her thoughts, that one day I had to ask her “Do you even Like me”. Her reply was, “Well sometimes you come off as Angry”. As a black man today’s climate, her response was very alarming”. As a lawyer, not being able to distinguish the difference between someone being anger vs. Someone being passionate about the wellbeing of their child is beyond my comprehension. The lack of cultural sensitivity is also an issue with this firm. Custody cases are not just legal battles; they shape a child's future. I expected my lawyer to fight for me and my child, but instead, I felt ignored and unsupported throughout the entire process. I would not recommend Melinda Johnson of the Johnson Law Firm to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and their families. If you need an attorney who will be proactive, responsive, and genuinely invested in your case, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Ms. Johnsons office is not your typical law firm. They care for you and your case like it's their own family. They are very honest and upfront about everything. They lay out the good and the bad about themselves. The only downfall about them is it can be hard to reach them because they are very busy ...HOWEVER, when it's something important, they immediately reach out to you. When they are working on your case, you get their undivided attention! I never felt uncomfortable with Ms. Johnson from the first time I met her. It's not a stuffy environment that you would expect. She is extremely understanding, extremely non judgmental, and most importantly, her and her assistant make you feel like they've known you for years. I felt like I was talking to an old friend! They helped me when i thought my life was over and my freedom was in jeopardy. The feeling of having your freedom and livelihood hanging in limbo and being in someone else's hands can be a terrifying feeling but, I trusted Ms. Johnson and her office and they totally saved me. I highly recommend this firm! Their prices are almost to good to be true and they allow you to make payments!! Ms. Johnson's assistant told me, we know you have a life and real life is expensive. Overall, they are GREAT!! I hope to never need them again but, I would go back to Ms. Johnson for every legal need from now on!!
