Compassionate, Thorough, Determined, Aggressive, Ethical and Respected are some of the words to describe Family Law Attorney Debra S. Johnson. She specializes in divorce, custody, timesharing, equitable distribution, child support, alimony, modifications, paternity, domestic violence injunctions and any and all aspects of family law throughout Florida.
Attorney Johnson is sought out based on her reputation for her knowledge and her ability to minimize the distressing effects of family disputes on her clients and their children. Clients seek her out. She brings peace of mind to her clients.
Her philosophy is a great lawyer should know more than just the law, they should know their clients just as well. Each client’s case is unique, and deserves an attorney who understands this. Attorney Johnson takes the time to listen, keep her clients informed, return their correspondences and telephone calls promptly and treats her clients with kindness, dignity and respect as she guides them to a successful outcome with the least amount of distress.
Attorney Johnson came from Ireland as a young girl and immediately made her mark not only academically but also as a gifted athlete. She had a determined personality, even as a young girl, when her school did not have a girl’s varsity tennis team and she petitioned the State of New York for permission to compete on the boy’s high school tennis team. It was refused, but, through her unique quality to never take “no” for an answer, she refused to back down, and the State of New York changed its rules. She was the number one player on the boy’s team, earning a varsity letter, and was the team Captain. Later she received a tennis scholarship to the University of Southern California, and after her tennis career, she completed her undergraduate degree at the Ivy League Columbia University, and then received her law degree from the Denver Law School.
While divorce cases can be difficult, and you feel as though you are traveling through uncharted waters, finding a good attorney can feel the same way. Attorney Debra S. Johnson has been practicing law in Orlando, Florida for the past 28 years. Her client’s have been referred by former clients, other attorneys and even opposing parties. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising, and having a successful and thriving law practice for more than 28 years speaks volumes about Attorney Johnson’s work ethic and integrity and commitment to get the best result.
Take the first step and speak to Ms. Johnson and take back the rest of your life and start a great new beginning.

GAME CHANGER

Most patient attorney hands down. She cares about you and your family. I would venture to say no case is too difficult for her. My case was long and drawn out. Attorney Johnson said we would get what we wanted in the end and sure enough she delivered. She has the uncanny expertise to see the big pict...
