Great Job!

Mr. Johnson did a wonderful job in helping me. Kept me informed on what was going on. Everything took time with the SS, but went as he said it would. I have recommended him to others. A+++++

Very Helpful Attorney

I am a workers' compensation client and am very pleased with the representation that I received from Mr. Johnson. He was able to get a great settlement for me during my time of need. I am extremely pleased with him and his staff.

Determined Attorney

Mr. Johnson was my attorney for my social security claim. I had been trying to get ss for several years and had been denied a couple of times and had also been denied in court. I was ready to give up, but due to my circumstances, I really couldn't. Mr. Johnson took over my case and from the beginni...ng guided me. He stayed positive. I appreciated that he never gave me "false" hope, yet he stayed focused on reality. He told me things like they were. I believe he was genuinely wanting the best for me and my 4 children. Mr. Johnson was calm, understanding and most of all listened when I needed him to. I remember at least twice when I called him because I was ready to give up and be finished with all of it, and Mr. Johnson listened to me rant and rave, then calmly reminded me of the process and encouraged me to hold on and NOT give up. Mr. Johnson's assistants were also very helpful and kind. I'm sure they were probably tired of me at times, but if they were, they were friendly about it and helped me tremendously with filling out paperwork and just answering questions. Mr. Johnson was very professional and organized. When we went back to court, I was very impressed with all the facts and proof Mr. Johnson had received and had prepared for the judge. I was more relaxed than I had been in the many years before. When I say that, I mean that. My first court was a nightmare. When Mr. Johnson came in with 2 briefcases and started going over everything before court, I felt like a million tons had been lifted off my shoulders and I KNEW I could rely on him. He was amazing! I highly recommend Mr. Benjamin Johnson. People do ask me who I used for an attorney, and I tell them Mr. Benjamin Johnson, and their response is "oh wow, really? He's suppose to be real good", and I quickly reply with "there's no 'suppose to be', he is". I have been so proud to have an attorney to stand for me and defend ME. He made it about me and took care of me. If we have to hire an attorney, it's because we need to prove something about ourselves and HE, Mr. Benjamin Johnson, did exactly that.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Johnson is very helpful with workers compensation and social security. If I needed him again I would hire him. I would refer him to anyone I come across in this type of need family or friends. I couldn't find a better and more respectful lawyer.

Social Security & Disability lawyer | Dec 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"In the past, as a defense attorney, I had the pleasure of going against Ben in workers' compensation claims. I found him to be a great advocate for his clients a more than worthy adversary. As a plaintiffs' attorney for the past 10 years, I've referred numerous clients to Ben for assistance with Social Security matters. His level of expertise in workers' comp and Social Security is top-notch, and I strongly recommend and endorse Ben in both of these areas of law."
