Simply the best criminal law lawyer.

My son was wrongfully accused of a crime and we needed to prove his innocence of a, “ he said she said” case. Fortunately I remembered the outcome of a DUI charge I had years ago and the positive outcome Janet Johnson and her team got for me, I hired her immediately. I had faith from the beginning ...that Janet, and her team, would prevail. She did not disappoint. She was able to get the charges dropped before we had to step foot in the court room. She and her team are thoughtful, professional and truly care. I would highly recommend them if you want to win your case.

fast and excellent

Janet and her team are very fast in making sure you have all your documentation and information as soon as it is available. This was an amazing experience, the reason i needed her has stupid but she has more then made the whole situation more understandable for me.

Best ever with no attitude.

My Daughter and I were unjustly accused of a crime that was never committed. Janet was the only attorney that would not only listen to what happened but took the case when others did not want to deal with it. She did her magic and got all charges dropped and have the records expunged. I will be forev...er grateful for her and her hardworking staff. The “victim” appreciate’s you too.

Amazing Attorney

From the moment I called Janet Johnson's firm they made me feel like I was in good hands. She and her team handled my case quickly and got me the best results possible. I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs.

I Needed Help!

I was very frightened when two policemen came to my home and relayed a story that they had been told about me from a road repair foreman that had stopped and intimidated me at a road repair site several days earlier. The foreman told one of the officers that I had hit him with my automobile and injur...ed him. The whole story was inaccurate and totally fabricated on his part. After I called and retained Janet Johnson, she carefully reviewed my situation and explained the legal factors involved in my "case" Since I had never been involved in anything like this before, I had no idea how to respond to these charges. Ms.Johnson took my case to the court and presented a successful defense for me, she researched case law in the State of Florida and convinced the court to drop the charges against me and to dismiss the civil infraction they issued against me. Ms.Johnson did all of this for me and I never even had to go to court. She has convinced me that she is very professional and her entire staff were considerate of my concerns and kept me up to date on the proceedings of my case. I whole heartedly recommend her and her staff to anyone who finds themselves in need of an attorney. Janet Johnson was recommended to me by another attorney who practices another field of law. His firm is well known and I'm sure glad he told me about "what a good lawyer she is". I'm sure glad I hired her and didn't try to deal with this alone, or worse yet, with a far less talented attorney. If you need a good lawyer, I recommend you call her.

  • 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.
