Kelly Johnson

Kelly was very prepared and hit on all the points needed to win our case, this was an injunction hearing and my boyfriend was not guilty and had evidence of so, and Kelly was very thorough in her defense, she showed the petitioner to be lying on many points and hit on every single one, she by far exc...eeded any attorney I have witnessed in the courtroom with her knowledge for the law and how she handled the case. I highly recommend this lawyer, also she treats you as an individual and takes your case seriously and gets back to you same day and speaks to you personally and her receptionist Jessie is very pleasant and keeps Kelly informed on every call. I couldn't be happier and will refer Kelly to anyone I know who needs an excellent attorney.

Highly recommend

She did her best to keep us informed and took the case seriously. She is very knowledgeable in criminal law. Her payments plans were also very helpful as we would not have been able to hire an attorney without it.

Habitual Traffic Offender Status Lifted!!!

Attorney Johnson is amazing and does amazing work for an affordable price. She got my case resolved in less than 2 weeks. The office clerk Jessica stays in contact and communicate with you throughout the entire process. It felt great to have a daily update about my case. These ladies are amazing and ...are highly recommended. Thank you Attorney Johnson and Jessica. You ladies help lift a burden off of my families shoulders !!

Ticket Dismissed

Attorney Kelly Johnson handled my traffic ticket. She was responsive, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. It was my first ticket in Florida and she made me feel more comfortable about the situation. I was hoping the officer wouldn’t show up for my court date so my case would b...e dismissed, but he did. Ms. Johnson was still able to talk the officer into dismissing my ticket. I’m so happy she went the extra mile instead of just pleading me out when the officer showed up. If I ever get another ticket or need or an attorney, I will not hesitate to give Ms. Johnson a call.

"Kelly Johnson is an exceptional attorney who fights for her client’s position.

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."
