This attorney is a scammer and will scam you out of your money

I retained this lawyer for a breach of contract case, he told me we would answer discovery and we set a date to do that, but when i called Mr. Johnson to come for the appointment time he never answered the phone. Then i go in hospital and listen at my voicemails when i get out and Derrick leaves a m...essage that he is withdrawing. Then when i put in a dispute with credit card company, this scammer of a attorney makes up a fake invoice that i have never seen to the dispute, and it is closed. leave this guy alone so you do not get ripped off!

Best Lawyer

I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t contacted attorney Johnson. He was thorough, meticulous, and diligent when working on my case. When I came into his office I was under a lot of stress. Attorney Johnson took away all of my worries and handled my case with great confidence. If I ever need ...legal help again he is the first attorney I will call.

Anonymous, it's all about the money

Would give him a zero star rating if possible. Hired and paid him in advance to handle a legal issue. After i advised him that I was not satisfied with, and questioned his inefficiency, he sent me another statement requesting even more money. Has no business being in the legal profession, don't waste... your money..

Expert Attorney

Mr. Johnson is a wonderful attorney. He handled my case expeditiously. When I had a question, he would answer all my questions in a timely manner and was very knowledgeable. He made sure all documents were in properly and on time. Mr. Johnson made me feel at ease about my case and I did not have wor...ry about anything. He did an excellent job and I would recommend him.

Excellent

I hired Attorney Johnson to settle my divorce with my ex husband. Mr. Johnson was knowledgeable of how to properly settle a divorce case. He worked diligently to make sure that I received the best settlement from my ex husband. I recommend Attorney Johnson to anyone who needs a lawyer for a divorce c...ase.
