About Linton
Biography
Linton began practicing law immediately after graduating from The University of Georgia School of Law. Taking a position as an Assistant Public Defender with the Enotah Judicial Circuit in Dahlonega, Georgia gave Linton the courtroom experience he was looking for. Being able to represent those that would otherwise have their voices stifled by experienced government prosecutors is what gave Linton the confidence to push and work his cases until the desired goal had been achieved.
After leaving the Public Defender's Office, Linton began private practice in the metro-Atlanta area. He has regularly appeared in each of the state and municipal courts in Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Paulding, and Douglas Counties. Having handled hundreds of criminal cases, Linton has developed a keen understanding of what it takes to successfully take a matter from arrest through trial.
Linton is currently looking to represent clients anywhere in the metro-Atlanta area and beyond that understand they do not want to "go it alone" within Georgia's criminal judicial system. Allow him to be your voice when you need it most.

Lint Johnson is pleasant to deal with and works quickly and effectively. He has extraordinary communication skills and prompt response time. He was early to meetings and court. He turned my nightmare into better than "best case scenario". Highly recommend!!!

Assisted in a speeding ticket
I retained Attorney Johnson's services for a speeding ticket I received. Thanks to his services, my speeding charge was reduced and as a result, I got no pointed added to my license. He is a personable attorney and tells you what you can except from the get-go. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect Service
Mr. Johnson advised me on what to do prior to ever going to court. I went to court and the courts excepted everything he recommended. I was happy with the verdict and extremely happy with the service he provided.
