Andrea was the only lawyer who took our case after searching through several attorneys. She took the time to listen and understand our situation keeping us apprised at every turn and never gave us false hope. She was fair and upfront through it all, and not once did we feel she was in it just for the money. We hope we never end up in this situation again but if we do, she will be the first person we call. Thank you, Andrea, for everything and for being a lawyer with INTEGRITY !!!
Ms Johnson handled our family’s trust litigation with great expertise. Her knowledge of what was needed and how to accomplish it was great. She was very compassionate and down to earth in helping us through the process.

Contract Dispute
Andrea represented me in a dispute I was having with a company based in Florida (I am based in NY). I was very pleased with her representation as she was very quick to respond to my inquiries, was open to my ideas and for those she didn’t utilize explained why they were not legally prudent. Andrea, although my case was very strong, but advised against my going to arbitration as a loss could be quite costly. Ultimately, Andrea was able to negotiate terms that were agreeable to both parties. Her fee was very reasonable and I appreciated her efforts throughout my case.

The Right Person to Have In Your Corner
Andrea has vast experience and competence, yet was a great listener as well, ready to explain points concisely when necessary. Her grasp of the law, and legal strategy is amazing. She is very pleasant to work with, professional at all points, detailed, and in the court room absolutely the one you would want in your corner: Andrea's reason and intelligence shined and she didn't miss a thing. She took what ended up being a complicated case and efficiently navigated through it to success! Highly recommended.

Excellent Choice
I was referred to Andrea Johnson from an attorney I was working with in Venice Florida. My case was becoming complicated and his advice was finding counsel within Manatee county, closer to Bradenton mainly for economic reasons. He gave me a list of several he felt capable of handling my case. When I informed him I picked Andrea he replied “excellent choice”. A long, intensive and aggressive litigation proved that correct.
With an abundance of 5 star ratings I will try to add something that may help you make that same choice.
Andrea is well respected within the legal community. In addition she is abundantly involved within activities and organizations to give back to the community. Supporting Andrea you can have some satisfaction your legal fees are going to someone who believes in giving back.
Along with her excellent performance, she is efficient in keeping her overhead down. You will not experience the hidden fees that most of her colleagues tack on. She deals directly with her clients as well improving communications and saving you the frustration of working through paralegals and office managers.
If you have a relatively simply legal matter and need a competent attorney, you have found one. If you have a need for complicated litigation, Andrea will fight for you. She is focused and proficient while the stress in contrast may be causing your head to spin!
My only caution is informing you that if your intent is to cheat someone or defraud your opponent, Andrea is not your girl. Her integrity is a bar above. With all that said, my counsel is pick up the phone and pray Andrea will except your case. My comment will then be “excellent choice”.

Professional Attorney in Tenant Landlord Affairs
Andrea Johnson helped us claim our rent and security deposit in a swift manner that was timely, effective and just. We had issues with our property manager and were unable to move into our apartment. Her expertise helped guide us through the entire process from termination of lease, drafting documents, and submitting the lawsuit. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a determined, honest and extremely efficient lawyer.

Review for Andrea Johnson
I was very impressed with Andrea Johnson as an attorney. I had to do our business by phone and computer.

Very reasonable.

Landlord
Andrea Johnson was hired to guide me through Florida’s landlord/tenant law. After the initial consultation I felt she possessed the skill to help me deal with a tenant who was determined to make every aspect of leaving the landlords property as difficult as possible. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable of the law and after becoming familiar with the details of this case developed a plan to remove the tenant from the property. That plan was clearly stated and written in precise language which left no room for misunderstanding by the tenant. She was patience with my questions and countered with questions of her own to make sure she had a clear and accurate picture of her client’s needs. Needless to say the results of her work lead to a positive outcome for the landlord.
I would recommend Andrea to anyone needing assistance with landlord/tenant law.

Andrea was awesome
After dealing with a flake of an attorney that ran me around in circles for three and a half years, I was referred to Andrea. I was dealing with an issue caused by the title company when I purchased a winter home in Florida in 2012. I payed cash for the house at the time, but I wanted my boyfriend to be able to stay in the home if I passed away first, with it going to my estate upon his death. I trusted the title company, but when my boyfriend passed away, I learned that my boyfriend's heirs were entitled to half the equity in the house. My step-son knew I had paid for it, and was willing to sign off, but the step-daughter refused to cooperate. This is a 40-year-old with two kids, who has never had a job, and lives with her mother. She is also a two-time felon, and despite spoiling her and her kids rotten for years, including a trip to Disneyland, she refused to sign any paperwork, causing me to have to fight the issue legally. It was a stressful several years, to put it mildly. Andrea gave me information, which was completely opposite from my original attorney, who obviously didn't know what he was doing. I am happy to report that Andrea has completely resolved the issue, and the house I paid for, is now totally mine. The stress is now finally gone, and I couldn't be any more grateful to Andrea for being in my corner. I had anticipating possibly spending a lot more than I did, and am more than pleased with the outcome. Thank you. Andrea.

Fabulous Communication
I needed Andrea's services for a rental situation in Bradenton while I was in Oklahoma. She responded almost immediately to my initial request. From that point on, she made the process flow seamlessly for me. Her communications were clear and succinct. While the situation started out as a problem, Andrea made it a pleasant experience. I have more work for her for sure!!!

Family Dispute
Andrea represented me in a family dispute. It was an intensely stressful situation and I felt fully supported by Andrea as she handled communications with the other attorney. I have previously hired other lawyers for other situations so I know that I was well represented in this situation. I feel very confident to contact her again, should the need arise.

Excellent lawyer!
This was our first time needing a lawyer and we were very fortunate to have hired Andrea to help us with a case involving a contractor. She is honest, fair, thorough, and very responsive. As she walked us through the legal process, she explained every step and prepared us for the next one. Andrea is intelligent, adaptable, assertive and yet down-to-earth. We will definitely hire her again if the need arises!

Excellent Outcome of Business Dispute!
Andrea Johnson is the most effective, intelligent, ethical and personable attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. After months of being unable to garner a response from a company on my own, I retained Andrea Johnson. Andrea carefully reviewed my information, elicited important details and synthesized a response that led to an extremely favorable outcome to my dispute. This occurred in less than a months time from first contact and I am a very grateful client. I highly recommend Attorney Johnson for any legal matters that are weighing on your mind.
