Con(Don’t hire)

Do not, I repeat do not hire this con. I paid this attorney in full almost 13k and a few days later, I never heard from him again. No response to my emails or calls. I hired him based off of his great reviews on this site, but once I didn’t hear from him again i began researching deeper to find out t...hat he was disbarred on August 13, 2024 and also I started to find more reviews about him taking other clients money and not responding back to them.

Worth the money

Everything was handled just as it should have been. I cannot think of one complaint. He worked hard for me and it was worth every last penny.

Posted by Teresa Scott | December 06, 2022 | Hired Attorney

Attentive

He is very attentive and his attention to detail is just what you want in a lawyer. I’ve recommended him to friends, family, and even strangers. He was a tremendous help and I’m so grateful.

He's the man

When you have suffered a personal injury, you don’t want to add insult to that injury by working with anyone less than completely qualified. I found Anthony to be understanding, empathetic and most importantly qualified.

He Cares

A good lawyer cares about his clients and is passionate about his work. Mr. Van Johnson embodies both of those qualities.
