Carlos Kirt Johnson

I hired Carlos to defend my loved one in both his felony case and his parole violation case. From the initial phone consult I had with Carlos, he proved to be extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and upfront about his approach. He kept me informed throughout the process and answered all my questions. ...I have been told by other lawyers that he has clout, and he has certainly shown so in our case. I'm so thankful that I was able to work with this attorney and would highly recommend him.

First off, as I personally work within the justice system, I know a great many talented lawyers, Carlos amongst them. Knowing his reputation and observing his tenacious advocacy over the years led me to retain him in a difficult OVI case. And I could not have been more happy with the result. At ti...mes my situation seemed insurmountable, but Carlos pulled out all the stops. He cares about his clients and will do everything within his power to achieve the best outcome. He never gives up! I am forever grateful to Carlos, and can without reservation highly recommend him to anybody in need.

I paid approximately $2,700 in cash to attorneys Carlos Johnson and Erin Flanagan for post-conviction representation. Looking back, one comment that stuck with me was being told that "cash is king." My experience was extremely disappointing. Communication was poor, and I was forced to initiate nea...rly every call because I rarely received updates about the case. Despite repeated discussions regarding filing in the Eighth District Court of Appeals, a filing was made in a different court, and valuable time was lost as critical deadlines passed. After providing substantial evidence and documentation, I saw little meaningful communication, little visible progress, and no result that justified the money I paid. For a matter this serious, I expected diligence, responsiveness, and a sound legal strategy. Instead, I was left out thousands of dollars and without the representation I believed I had hired. My impression was that collecting my fee received more attention than my case. Based on my experience with both Carlos Johnson and Erin Flanagan, I felt ignored, frustrated, and deeply disappointed by the lack of communication, accountability, and results. Proceed with caution.
