Always one call away!

Philip was able to get my felony case as a withhold adjudication. I’m trying to become a police officer and I can’t afford having a felony case on my record & Philip has gone above and beyond for me. He even helped me with giving out contacts that can help with getting my case expunged and so much m...ore. I couldn’t be more thankful!!! I most definitely recommend him.

God bless you Mr. Johnston

The government wanted to give me 25 years to life for a sexual battery (rape) that I didn't commit. You got it dropped to a battery with no jail and no conviction. God willing, I will have this awful case sealed. I have worked hard all of my life and never had any problems with the law. Mr. Johns...ton, you fought for me with everything you had. You worked hard to obtain all of the evidence and understand what actually happened. You exposed the witnesses and their motivations. You showed the State that they were lying and that this prosecution was a mistake. Mr. Johnston, how do I say thank you for something like this? You saved my life. There are no words for what you did. You saved my life. Thank you. God is good, all the time. Amen!

Great Attorney

I worked with Phil for an early termination for my probation. He was extremely knowledgeable and had great communication throughout the process, even when I had a million questions. Whenever I needed something he would text or call back right away and always had time to explain my situation and my ...options involved. He did a good job researching my case and did well at the hearing. I could tell that he actually cared about me and what was going on with my case. I recommend Phil, especially if you are like me and want to be involved with the process and require a lot of interaction.

He went to Columbia Law School in NYC and has successfully handled hundreds of cases around the state. He has been my partner for quite some time and worked hand-in-hand with me to achieve so much success in our practice. There are very few lawyers anywhere that have the qualities, experience, and success that Phil has had and continues to display going forward."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
