This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I could not have asked for a better attorney!

Paul was recommended to me by an attorney out of Atlanta who gave him an amazing recommendation. I had a bad experience with a previous attorney and Paul and his team were perfect for me. I was more than pleased with them during every step of my long divorce. I would highly recommend him no matter wh...at your divorce holds - mediation, discovery issues, hearings, briefs, or a trial - I worked with him through all of these and never once doubted that I had the best representation. From our first meeting, I knew that he would work to achieve the very best for me. He was extremely informative, realistic, and sympathetic. Above all, Paul is extremely ethical and very well respected by both judges and other attorneys. I was able to build a great relationship with both Paul and his associate, Elizabeth. This strong connection was vital to supporting me through this long process. I will forever be grateful to them for their support and guidance.

Current Client

Paul and his staff were very professional in handling my divorce case. Paul is an excellent attorney and works very hard to represent the interests of his clients. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an excellent divorce attorney.

The Best of the Best!

When I asked my dad’s best friend and local Real Estate Attorney who he would recommend to represent me in what I knew would be a long, drawn out, nasty divorce and custody battle he didn’t hesitate to recommend Paul Johnson. His words were, “he is the best! Very level headed and aggressive. Call Pa...ul!” When going through a divorce, especially when a child is involved, the unknown is terrifying. It was a long time before I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Paul and his team were always there to comfort, counsel, and assure me they were doing everything in their power to get my case settled with mine and my child’s best interest at heart. From the beginning Paul was very informative, and sympathetic yet honestly realistic. Which was comforting to say the least. Over the 2 years, I had the pleasure of being represented by Paul, I have come to find that Paul is not only favored by his clients, but even more so by his fellow attorneys, and many others in the community. In the Courtroom, as well as mediations and depositions, Paul was nothing short of impressive to both myself and my father (who has spent quite a bit of time in a court room). Considering my situation, I comforted in knowing that Paul and his entire team will continue to be there in the upcoming months/years to come. His Associate Attorney, Samantha, was also a God sent! She was always available on short notice when I was in a panic. She was rational, professional, yet sympathetic to my situation and was somehow able to calm me down during some pretty trying times. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Paul and his entire team. I will recommend him time and time again.

Still helping me 10 years after my divorce

Paul and his assistant Sherry are amazing. They helped me through a tough divorce 10 years ago. I have had several questions come up throughout the years.... They have always been there to help and ease my mind. I feel like they have gone above and beyond to help me. If you want a lawyer who will b...e there for you over time, Paul is that lawyer. I highly recommend !

Highly recommend

Paul was recommended by other lawyer friends in Savannah. From the first meeting we knew we had the right lawyer. Paul and his staff were so caring during the initial crisis. Paul not only provided sage advice throughout, he did so with intelligence, wit and humanity. Going to the office for the init...ial meetings, Sherri and Linda were always so welcoming and kind. Our family will be forever grateful to Paul and his staff. Paul is a decent man and this makes him a true gem in this profession. I highly recommend Paul.

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.
