Great experience

Jonathan Johnson and his team provided excellent service to me during a most difficult time. I certainly couldn’t have gotten through my ordeal without their gracious and professional assistance. I would recommend Jonathan and his team to anyone going through a personal injury case.

Very satisfied with Jonathan Johnson and his team professionalism and knowledge to manage my case. I hire them and got the expected results.

Posted by David | September 04, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Caring, thoughtful and EFFECTIVE!!!!!!

I was put out of work for an extended period of time by the negligence of a corporate giant. I followed all of their claim guidelines as instructed and was denied restitution over and over again. After nearly going broke i found and consulted Jonathan Johnson, He was angered at the treatment i receiv...ed and i could immediately tell it was genuine. He told me not to worry and he would handle it. Handle it he did, when the dust settled my restitution was even more than originally sought as he pointed out many issues i had overlooked. This man is an attorney for the right reasons and not just the money. I feel i am an excellent judge of character and he and his staff are out for the good of their clients and are not afraid to go after large corporations to make things right. My family and i thank him and highly recommend anyone to him. THANK YOU JONATHAN

Barry Doyle

Car accident lawyer | Nov 13

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I served as local counsel for Jonathan on a case in which a pedestrian was killed as a result of being struck by a taxi. The facts of the case made it a difficult liability case, but Jonathan and his team did extensive early investigation which helped develop facts which made the case very winnable. When it came time to negotiate the case, he took a very hard line with the defense not blinking in the face of tough facts and was able to secure a significant settlement on a very difficult case. I was very impressed with the work that Jonathan and his team did and with their diligence in prosecuting the case. I strongly recommend Jonathan if you have need for a lawyer to handle a significant personal injury/wrongful death case."

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.
