Wonderful Attorney, with gravitas!

Professional and personal. Ms. Johnson was a pleasure to work with, and the most professional attorney who I ever worked with in Florida.

Temporary Custody

Attorney Johnson explained the Process to us in detail. And told us what to expect. She helped us get Temporary Custody of our Grandson. And we were able to give him the protection he needed.

Great Representation

I hired Ms Johnsons office to handle a Driving While License Suspended ticket for me. It was very imperative that I get this ticket either dismissed or reduced to another charge because I was eligible to get my business purpose DL but couldn't until this was dealt with. She pursuaded the state attorn...ey to reduce my ticket to a failure to display DL upon demand which is a civil infraction and had no effect on my driving history and allowed me to apply for my BPO license. Her assistant Jessica is very professional and responds to emails and phone calls promptly. Might I add that this firm is also very affordable as every other lawyer I consulted with wanted 3k or more. This was a great experience and I highly recommend her services.

Thoughtful and Professional

Professional because she kept my most precious gifts in mind, as to not tarnish their innocent lives. Thoughtful, because she understood the financial situation, and help us in every way to make ends meet.

Felony against a Minor

End results were excellent, well done. Extremely happy with the outcome. Got the case dismissed, couldn't ask for more. Only request would be to hear from the attorney in timely manner when a message was left, but overall I recommend the attorney and would use her services again.

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the opportunity to work against Kelly Johnson when she was at The State Attorney’s office and with her as a defense attorney. Kelly handles misdemeanors, felonies, traffic tickets, family law and estate planning cases. Kelly is an aggressive advocate for her clients with extensive trial experience. She had a reputation for being tough but fair as a prosecutor. As a defense attorney she is honest with her clients and has an excellent work ethic. She is an effective negotiator and is not afraid to take cases to trial. If you are accused of a crime or traffic offense Kelly will give you a realistic expectation of the possible outcome for your case and will get you the best possible result. I have referred some difficult cases to her outside of the counties I practice in and she has been able to repeatedly get excellent results. Many attorneys are tempted to tell clients whatever they want to hear to get the case but Kelly will always give you an honest evaluation of your case."

  • 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.
