Posted by anonymous | October 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Go-to business contract attorney

I've been working with Mr. JB Johnson for several months on business contracts, e.g. Operating Agreements & NDAs, and have only good things to say. He is extremely professional, motivated, and knowledgeable. If he does not know the answer, he makes sure to find out. Although very busy, he always take...s the time to explain and answer any questions I have. Bottom line: highly recommended.

Would highly recommend

Posted by Katie Sallee | February 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Professional, Courteous, Knowledgable Attorney

Mr. Johnson represented me in trying to obtain back child support. My case was very tricky and complicated. He was kind to work with during a time when no one else involved in the situation was very kind. He was thorough in the filings he prepared on my behalf. I felt like he truly listened to me whe...n I needed to communicate regarding my case without talking down to me, as some attorneys do. I would recommend Mr. Johnson for your legal needs.

Very Professional and Efficient

My wife and I met with Brandon to get some paperwork completed. He was very helpful and was very insightful on the best way to set up our legal documents.

James Brandon, Attorney

The extraordinary representation that I experienced from Mr. James Brandon Johnson, was unparalleled to any prior legal representation I have experienced. He provided articulate, methodical and conscientious expertise in handling the complexities associated with my accident related circumstance. I am... from TX and he was highly recommended, so word travels far and fast. He went above and beyond my expectations. An ethical, busy attorney is difficult to find, so I consider myself fortunate that he accepted my request for representation. I only wish that more attorneys personified his ambitions toward their clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
