Review of Inge Johnstone

I have known Mr. Inge Johnstone for over a decade. I was injured in a car wreck and sought legal help with recovering medical expenses as well as damages. My case took almost three years to settle, during this time Mr. Johnstone maintained consistent contact with me. He took me to the crash site... to go over details of the accident while still fresh in my mind, assisted with finding the proper doctors for medical tests/evaluations, assisted with finding the best physical therapist and prepared me for the deposition process. He returned my telephone calls promptly and I always felt like he had my best interest in mind. Overall, I was extremely happy with the work he did. He is honest, trustworthy and very personable. I highly recommend Mr. Johnstone as a personal injury attorney.

Review of Johnstone Carroll, LLC

Inge Johnstone and his team were remarkably helpful and effective in helping us resolve a billing dispute. Mr. Johnstone was very attentive to our case, and in spite of the complexity of the situation, he had mastered all the details of the situation in a short amount of time. Both my husband and I v...alue Mr. Johnstone's insight, and we are very impressed with the integrity and compassion he shared with us while tackling a difficult situation.

BEST Attorney

I have known Inge Johnstone for almost four years. I was injured in a car wreck when I was 16, and my case took close to three years to settle. During this time, Inge maintained consistent contact. He kept me updated on how things with my case were progressing, he helped me through the deposition pro...cess since I had never done it before, and made sure the entire process was as easy as possible for me. I really appreciated that he took the time to get to know me personally and was invested in helping me. I never dreaded having to go to the office, answer a phone call, or reply to an email because he was so friendly, honest, and helpful with me. Overall, I was extremely happy with the work he did. I believe that I could not have found a better attorney anywhere else.

Experienced and Effective Attorney

I have known Inge for several years, beginning when he helped my sister with insurance claims regarding her illness. He was compassionate and kind, meeting with her and encouraging her and working hard to reach a successful settlement. When I was in need of an attorney after being injured in a car... accident, I called on Inge. It was during those months when he was working on my case that I came to know him as a resourceful, tireless advocate and also as a friend. He was always accessible whenever I had a question, always interested in how I was feeling. He was able to reach a settlement for me that was much more than I had hoped. Recently, my elderly dad needed some legal advice. Again, I sought Inge's help. He took time out of his busy day to talk to us and tell us how to proceed with the issue. I believe these are the reasons that Inge Johnstone is an effective and successful attorney. He is a compassionate, kind advocate who is never too busy to take the time to listen to his clients, who he treats as friends. He then uses his considerable talents as a knowledgeable, resourceful, experienced attorney to work tirelessly to obtain the best possible judgements for his clients. I highly recommend Inge Johnstone Law Offices for anyone who requires legal representation.

Great Attorney Who Cares

When I had a horrible injury, I found Attorney Inge Johnstone online through extensive research. I was hesitant at first because I have had attorneys in the past who just strung me along. Attorney Johnstone helped me through my case, was always available to speak to me, and explained things, not in a...ttorney lingo. I would recommend him to anyone in the Alabama area!
