Experienced and Competent

Atty. Johnston is on of the best I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He represents me in my dui case and not only does he stay in contact with me but also keeps me very informed throughout the development of the case. He is never hard to reach and his prices are reasonable. My lawyer f...or life.
