Best Legal Representation in the Country

Janet was amazing. She acted swiftly. She was compassionate and helped me through a very dark time in my life. From the very first phone call, I knew she was going to help me out. There really are angels on this earth. I had very little money but she put me on a payment plan and treated my case as if... it were her only case. I call her almost everyday and she never once ignored me. She even helped with my anxiety and when I couldn't make my last payment- she forgave all fees. My charges were dropped from DUI and this helped a lot being that I am a professional. She saved me the stigma of being labeled a DUI driver. Even after my case was disposed of, Janet reached out to extend a helping hand. Janet, Jeannie, and Ruth were all great to me. They are an excellent team and I am grateful to have worked with such a skilled attorney. Thank you again Ms. Janet. You all are legal angels fighting for true justice.

Best Attorney in Florida

Janet is highly skilled attorney and very determined to reach positive outcomes. We hired her for our child's DUI case. She and her staff worked extremely hard through the process, and achieved excellent results. We highly recommend Janet!

Strong Ethical Defense

We hired Janet to represent my son in a case. Janet did an incredible job of representing him, provided continual guidance and direction while keeping us consistently informed during the process. Couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with Janet and her team. Greatly appreciate her an...d her team's hard work and support.

Outstanding Attorney

I was arrested for a DUI and hired Janet. Just because of the arrest, I could have lost my career. There isn't enough space for me to list everything Janet did to help. Janet and her assistant, Krissy, worked tirelessly on my behalf. They were in constant contact, answered every question, and kept my... spirits up through the entire process. I honestly felt that she was on a personal mission to save my career and win my case. I was expecting the worst, Janet delivered the best. Because of her efforts, I can put this matter behind me and move forward with my career and livelihood in tact. I highly recommend Janet Johnson.

The right result with Janet Johnson

I was wrongly accused of a DUI after a breath test yielding a 0.0%. I hired the "big gun" firm and was totally disappointed with their bully tactics, high cost and poor results. So I fired them and went with Janet Johnson. It was expensive to start the process over again after 2 years of frustrati...on with the other firm - but as it turned out, well worth it. Janet and her staff did great work and got my case completely dismissed. She's smart, experienced and really cares personally about here clients. Sure wish I would have started with Janet in the first place.

  • 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.
