Debra Scanlon Johnson

I can highly recommend Attorney Debra S. Johnson and her legal team of Orlando, FL! My divorce just settled at mediation and it was a just settlement. She is nothing but professional and her diligence, professionalism, kindness and support saw me through a very stressful situation. As well as her kno...wledge and working relationships with the other legal professionals involved. You get what you pay for, and her services are worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, Attorney Debra S. Johnson!

I hired Ms. Johnson on recommendation from the FL Bar and after having a horrible experience with an attorney in my petition for divorce. When Debra took over my case, the difference was night and day. She got my case in front of the Judge ahead of mediation and I walked out with the issue resolved... the same day, in the terms I had been requesting. Debra's knowledge of the legal system, reputation for excellence and empathy got me the results quickly. Ms. Johnson and her team were very efficient in communication, transparent on all costs and billing and had incredible customer service. I would hire her again and sure wish I had retained her in the first place! Word to the wise: the law is not just the law, your attorney can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE, and Debra sure did in my case.

I contacted Debra Johnson about 1 yr ago to assist me with a very difficult situation. My Lawyer Debra Johnson made me feel at ease and very comfortable during my mediation process. She advised me on what to say to get the task at hand go smoothly. She stood her ground with poise and confidence righ...t from the beginning to the end. We both stood up for a bully and we Won! Thank you Debra for all you did for me to accomplish a victory. I will recommend this lawyer

To all my friends and family of the LGBTQ Community, as well as all my family in the world, I would highly recommend Debra, for all your needs. I was in a dark hole for years, and Debra has now made it possible for me to finally, see the light. My gay marriage has now come to an end. Debra fought for... me like no one in the world has ever done. As gay divorce is new, in the justice system, I was in great fear of what my outcome would be. From day 1, Debra assured me, I will do good. I believed her from the very beginning. But still, I wondered for 6 months, how this would all turn out. Turning to other devices, to calm my nerves, throughout the whole procedure. The day came for Mediation. I told Debra, I will not mediate any more than 2 hours. She said, it may take about 3. It wound up taking 7, and I was mentally exhausted after we hung up at 5 pm. I went to bed at 7 p.m, which is unheard of in my book. Debra got me everything I wanted, and more. Alimony, was left as one of the last procedures. I was offered, after 25 years together, and six and a half years married, $2000.00 a month, for 3 months. I laughed, of course, and said , no way, but as I mentioned earlier, I was mentally exhausted, and I told Debra, I will accept a year of Alimony, just need that, to get back on my feet. Debra, in a professional way, ( as she knew how to handle me, by this time) ask me, just to relax, sit quiet, and give her some time. And that is what I did. She worked diligently, throughout my whole 7 hour Mediation session. She never gave up. But, I did, when I said I would accept one year Alimony. My final outcome, was 3 years Alimony. Not 3 months. I can not thank Debra, and her entire team, as well as Kristopher Donegan, Senior Litigation Paralegal, who fought for me, just as hard. I am so proud of Debra's entire team. Thanks to Debra, I now have peace of mind, and came out of my dark hole, and I am living life to the fullest once again. I as a spiritual person, do not believe in chance encounters. I believe Debra and I were brought together, for a reason. I am still trying to figure that out, and I will some day. I now consider Debra, not only my attorney, but one of my best friends, that I will cherish, for the rest of my life. I no longer have to worry about retirement, at the age of 57, Debra made sure I was taken care of for retirement, and now, that is the greatest burden, that was lifted off of my shoulders. I now have a beautiful retirement account, that will last me, until the day I die. My life, was exactly like Elizabeth Gilbert, author of eat, pray, love. I first saw Elizabeth, on the Oprah Winfrey show, over 15 years ago. I read her book, as soon as it came out, then, years later, the movie came out. Debra did not know it, but, I wore my 108 Mala Bead Prayer Meditation Necklace, underneath my shirt, the whole day. Every time we had a break, and there were a few, I would walk away, touch my necklace, and pray, pray some more, and pray some more. Then, back to mediation. Now, I plan to do what Elizabeth did. I am going to go on the same journey, she went on. And, I can only go on this journey, because Debra fought for me, like there was no tomorrow. And at that point, there was no tomorrow. Debra, as stated earlier, I can never thank you enough, for fighting for me, the way you did. Watch out for the Irish ladies, is all I can say. There is a little bit of Tiger in them, I am sure. If anyone else is going through what I went through, please, do not hesitate. Call Debra immediately. And if you hire her, never look back, only look forward, and forward, for the rest of your life. I joked with Debra, and told her, to tell her husband to watch out, I was coming for her, we both had a good laugh, and, we needed all the laughter we could receive, during this entire process. At the end of the day, I can smile now, which is something I have not been able to do in years. I can love more, which is not something I have been able to do in years.
