Outstanding Attorney!
I was very pleased with Mr. Johnson's efficiency in handling a residential eviction for me. I will most definitely hire him again for any future landlord/tenant and real estate matters that arise.

This person was not a client but someone looking for free advise, which she refused to accept when she received it.

Two years ago, I was his client and the above lawyer wrote the worst settlement somebody could write and mentioned to me that I should not hesitate to sign it. Since I am not a lawyer I signed it.
