Top-tier Criminal Defense Lawyer

I've been represented by Janet E. Johnson across various endeavors for nearly 10 years. She is a top-tier criminal defense lawyer with an impeccable manner, and she always achieves results. Janet tirelessly fights for the needs of her clients, going above and beyond the call of service, while maintai...ning the highest ethical standards in all of her dealings. Despite her ability to intimidate with a single word, she is wonderfully easy to speak to and work with. Janet is a top-tier mind, possessing high IQ and EQ, and she is able to both relate to and empathize with clients on the deepest levels. She will vigorously represent your interests and will not back down in the face of a challenge.

So glad I called Janet Johnson!!

Janet Johnson did an amazing job on my case. She was able to get my charge dropped without me ever stepping foot in the courtroom or even meeting her face to face. She is courteous and compassionate, always responds quickly and takes the time to make sure you understand what’s happening. She is an ex...cellent defense attorney that I would definitely recommend!

Excellent

Janet is awesome, she is resourceful and not only wants to achieve success with your case, but cares about your future success as well. She is a confident defense lawyer, and feel i made the right decision hiring Janet for my case.

She is the absolute best. Trust me.

Janet helped me with an unfortunate arrest and DUI. She listened to my story, she gave me excellent advice on what I needed to do on my end while she took care of the rest. She’s straight forward, nice, but a bulldog in court. She fights for you. I was so scared, but after speaking with her and retai...ning her, I felt much more at ease, even in that difficult and scary situation. I haven’t needed to use her services since then, but every once in a while if I call or text her a question, she gets right back to me. I recommend her to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney. I’ve worked for attorneys for years (and am aware of who’s out there), and she is the only person I will ever go to and refer my friends and family to for as long as she’s practicing law.

Hard Working Attorney

Janet Johnson, She did a great job for our son. He was scheduled to be extradited to Florida from California on an old felony charge. She was able to have the extradition recalled. Janet went to the judge and explained the situation and after hearing all the facts, the judged decided to recall the ...notice. It would have been a nightmare for our son to be extradited back to Florida. Janet restored our faith in the fairness of the judicial system. We have had to deal with other attorneys in the past and she definitely proved to be the most competent. The others sounded great in the beginning, but there was no follow up. She actually returned calls. She took the time to write letters to our son explaining the case to him. He was incarcerated in California at the time, so phone calls were not feasible. My wife, son and I highly recommend her services.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
