Review of Brend Johnson, Esq. NPHM

I fist met Brenda a few years ago while embroiled in multiple lawsuits brought on by another attorney. This attorney had filed 21 lawsuits involving approximtely 35 defendants. I can't even begin to name the number of attorneys that represented these defendents. But I would estimate it was over 20... seperate attorneys. Not to go into a long drawn out story but Brenda negotiated al global settlement which ended the litigation. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful she was in handling everything. Cool, calm, level headed and most of all a BRILLIANT NEGOTIATOR. It was very emotional time going through this and she was there every step of the way. Always kept me updated. Promptly returned calls. Her attention to detail amazing. But even with all that said when I saw her interaction with other attorneys and their respect for her as a colleague I knew I was in good hands. Though at the time I had no idea just how good of hands. She had a very difficult task working with with so many attorneys. She said she would get the job done and she did it way above my expectations. I would hire her again and again. NPHM again also. If someone did not hire them my only comment would be WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING!!! (Type of case was left blank as it did not cover my cases which were Insurance fraud, Legal Malpractice -I am not an attorney, RICO Act, Conspiricy and a few others. There were 4 in Common Pleas and 2 in Federal Court. NPHM, Brenda Johnson, Esq and the late Hon. Anne Kilbane gave me MY LIFE BACK through the absolutely best representation. I will always be a client! If anyone needs more information Please contact Brenda she has my permission to give you my phone number. To NPHM, David Paris, Esq. and Brenda Johnson, Esq. from the bottom of my heart I cannot say thank you enough. You gave me my life back. You are all amazing!!!!

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.
