Best Workers Comp lawyer in the state.

Jonathan is a very knowledgeable attorney, with knowledgeable staff. I did not want to use a TV lawyer who practices 50 different kinds of law. After asking around and hearing from multiple attorneys he was the best workers comp lawyer, I hired him. When picking a lawyer for anything it's best to hir...e someone who only practices what you need help with. Workers Comp is all they do, and they are the best!

Johnston's Law Firm

I hired Johnston Law Firm to represent me with my workman's comp case. I found that Jonathan was well versed, extremely competent and solely dedicated in handling cases like mine. Jonathan and his paralegal, Brandi, were very responsive and were quick to handle all questions and concerns that may h...ave arisen during our time together. Jonathan proved to be a very capable negotiator and I was very satisfied with the final reults of my claim I highly recommend Johnston's Law Firm.

THE BEST WC ATTORNEY!

Jonathon is very knowledgeable and well versed in work comp. He handled my case with the utmost care and expertise. He walked me through the whole process and only settled when he knew everything was exactly right for me. I respect Jonathon and his assistant, Brandie. They work very hard and treat yo...u like a member of their family. Thank you both for doing such an amazing job! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a work comp attorney.

Very helpful! Highly recommend him!

I met with Mr. Johnston because I was having a very difficult time with a workman’s comp claim. Although he could not represent me due to a conflict of interest with my case, he spent a long time answering my questions and helping me to understand my options. Mr. Johnston simplified the legal jargon ...that was so confusing to me and I am extremely grateful for his honesty and his helpfulness. I highly recommend him!

Wrongful termination lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have been practicing worker's compensation law for 30 years, specializing in the representation of Employers and Insurers. In short, my representation is on the other side of cases with attorneys such as Jonathan Johnston. He is a true professional. He understands the issues and knows the strategies to best help his clients succeed. In my dealings with Jonathan, I have never had occasion to doubt his word. Of course every client needs a zealous advocate. But, what every client needs more is any attorney whose word is his bond - who others can trust. Your attorney can help you or harm you by their reputation and behavior so it is best to have an aggressive attorney with a good reputation. Jonathan is that man."
