a smashing success . Mr. Johnson got my driving license back for me after 15 years of not having one. His knowledge of the system was second to none.

I was faced in a very uncomfortable situation where I needed to hire an attorney to represent me in Franklin County Court. I do recommend Cleve Johnson for anybody needing representation. He went above and beyond what I thought I would receive from an attorney. I felt comfortable with Cleve and he...

We all make mistakes. I did and was pulled over basically for pulling out of a bar. This is very common and they make up a reason for pulling you over. Next thing you know they say they smell the odor of alcohol and would like you to preform sobriety tests. At that point it doesn't matter what you we...

Mr. Johnson represented me and was great. Not only is he very knowledgeable, he is very honest. Throughout my entire case, he made sure I understood my rights and options as well as explained all possible outcomes.
"I had the opportunity to confer with Mr. Johnson in connection with a client facing a pending DUI in Maryland who also had a prior alcohol related driving offense in Ohio. Mr. Johnson provided a excellent understanding of the Ohio Statute 4511. It is a complicated law and prospective clients seeking help with a DUI will no doubt be well served by an attorney with his command of the law."
"Cleve is a good friend, a loyal and knowledgeable colleague, and an asset to the legal community in the DUI / OVI area. I have never seen anybody more analytically inclined than Cleve. If there is a problem in a case then he will find it! I highly recommend Cleve."
"I have seen Cleve speak at many OVI/DUI seminars over the years and have gained a lot of knowledge in the area from him."
"Attorney Johnson is a very skilled and artful litigator of the highest order. His ability to advocate effectively for his position is remarkable. His reputation for achieving great results for the citizen accused by the government of a crime is well known. His reputation for excellence in all matters is a hard earned national one. This reputation far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer from Central Pennsylvania not only knowing of him but in that I can personally attest through first hand observation his high level of proficiency in litigation and in the defense of the citizen accused. Superior, fantastic and skilled. He is the one I would put in my corner every time."
