also known as Katie Johnson, Katherine Johnson, Katherine B. Johnson
Virtual Consultation Available
Strategically-minded and purpose-driven, Katie’s clients agree she is “engaged and honest,” and is “thorough, knowledgeable of the law, compassionate, and tough when needed.” After graduating cum laude from The Florida State University with a degree in business management, she earned her law degree and a certificate degree in Family Law advocacy. Katie gained indispensable knowledge while clerking at the Fourth District Court of Appeal and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2012. She joined Zisser Family Law in 2015, where she has attained invaluable experience working with long-time mentors Barry and Elliot Zisser.
In 2021, Katie received her Board Certification in Marital and Family law from The Florida Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization & Education. Katie joins Elliot Zisser, along with only 10 other attorneys including members of the Judiciary in Northeast Florida, who have earned this certification. Katie is also one of the youngest attorneys in Jacksonville to achieve this milestone.
Katie’s law practice focuses on Family Law, specifically complicated divorce, alimony and child custody cases. Her expertise lies in conflict resolution, long-term support claims, business valuation or asset tracing issues, or situations involving the safety and wellbeing of children.
During your initial consultation, Katie will discuss the legal process and strategic litigation, including investigating and preserving hidden income and assets. She will explain the pros and cons of going to trial and what outcome you can reasonably expect if your case is ultimately decided by the court. She will also discuss whether it is in your best interest to settle your case through early negotiations or mediation. While this process may seem obvious, there are many lawyers that fail to educate their clients on reasonable solutions, and as a result, waste their client’s time and money.
A native of South Florida, Katie has called Jacksonville home for the last decade. She and her husband are the proud parents of two daughters and a French bulldog.

I met Katie when she worked for Zisser Law about 10 years ago when I initiated my divorce. From the beginning I connected with Katie. She was very empathetic and compassionate to my divorce situation. When I received a letter/call from Katie letting me know she was starting a new firm I did not hesi...

Mrs. Johnson was the second lawyer I contacted regarding my divorce. She had me won over within the first 10 mins of our meeting.

I can honestly not say enough good things about Katherine and her assistant. To say it lightly, I had one heck of a divorce; my first attorney dropped the ball multiple times, so I stepped up to the big leagues and started working with Mrs Johnson. From the start, the level of professionalism and t...

I consulted with Katie prior to a mediation session with my husband. She explained my rights and I left so empowered and ready to face my husband. She gave me the confidence I needed. I highly recommend Katie! She is intelligent and speaks the truth. I was ready to hire her if I needed to. I will alw...
"I have the privilege of handling a couple of appellate matters where Katie was the trial lawyer. And I must say that I am a big fan of Katie Johnson and her work. In the more than 13 years I've been practicing law, I've rarely found the combination of ethics, intelligence, and dedication that Katie brings to her cases. She has a fantastic sense of practical solutions and strives to achieve a fair result for her clients even if it means an early settlement that will end up in lower attorneys' fees for herself. Yet she still has the wherewithal to fight through trial if it's the right option for her client. Katie is one of the few Jacksonville attorneys I keep on my short list if someone needs help, and I'd recommend her to a family member or friend without hesitation. For ethics, practicality, or effectiveness, there are few family law attorneys in Jacksonville better than Katie."
