A Lawyer You Can Trust

In 2010 I needed a divorce lawyer, and K. Paul Johnson was recommended to me. I will be forever thankful for that recommendation. My divorce was difficult, and the situation was very challenging. Atty. Johnson was extremely professional in his representation of me, yet let his human side shine thr...ough as well. My divorce and subsequent legal challenges were protracted, (3 years,) and I believe a lesser attorney and man would have moved on to more lucrative cases. However, Atty. Johnson always made me feel welcome in his office, and his staff was also very supportive. Atty. Johnson represented me in court several times, from my separation, through my divorce, and then through numerous contempt charges against my ex-husband.. He proved himself to be up to the task each and every time. It was obvious he had prepared well, and in advance, for each court appearance. He never backed down to opposing attorneys, presenting facts and arguments with confidence and an obvious knowledge of law. As a result of Atty. Johnson's representation and hard work, the court found in my favor every time we went before the judge. Atty. Johnson listened to my thoughts regarding my situation, and secured me the favorable, legal rulings I needed for my future. Without hesitation, I would recommend K. Paul Johnson as the attorney to go to for professional, capable, knowledgeable, compassionate, legal representation.

Endorsement for Paul Johnson

Paul handled my divorce case. He and his associates are very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. They made me feel as comfortable as possible while I was going through a very uncomfortable situation. I would recommend his law firm to anyone I know.

The BEST of the BEST!

Paul represented me during my divorce in 2008 and then again recently for an alimony matter. Paul is genuine, kindhearted and very knowledgeable of the law. He genuinely cares for his client’s needs and concerns. He also has an amazing courtroom presence. I am extremely pleased with the efforts o...f Paul and his entire staff! I hope that I won’t need his services in the future, but if I do, I would not hesitate to hire him again!

Gregg Weissman

Paul helped me through a tough period in my life in a very professional yet personable manner. I did not know anything about a divorce or child custody battle but Paul was knowledgeable and guided me through this situation. Paul asked me what I wanted and delivered - I wanted custody of my child. ...If you want a trustworthy, professional attorney to help you through a difficult situation - there is no other than K. Paul Johnson.

A Lawyer's Lawyer

I'm a lawyer and for once one who recognizes the folly of representing yourself. Paul was my lawyer in a business litigation matter a few years ago and did a fantastic job in representing me. Paul knew the value of the case and refused to let me settle it for anything less than what it was worth. ...Thanks Paul.

  • 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.
