My Go-To Guy for Everything related to Real Estate.

As an older lifelong Real Estate professional I have worked with many lawyers. I started using Tom on a few things once in awhile over 5 years ago. As my confidence in him grew I have used him more & more. He now is the guy I call first about anything concerning Real Estate. He has a strong "Git-...R-Done" attitude which is coupled with a great depth of knowledge of the law & wonderfully lucid and concise writing. Tom is one of the very few lawyers that I have worked with that I feel like I get my money's worth when I involve him in a project or problem.

Thomas Johnston

We have used Mr. Johnston on a number of occasions in our real estate investment (buy, sell, ownership transfer) and property management (management agreements, third party contracts, resident issues, review of forms) transactions and have been very pleased with his prompt response, attention to deta...il and find his fees to be very competitive.

Excellent legal help from Tom Johnston

I have had the pleasure of working with Tom Johnston in several Real Estate transactions. Tom's knowledge, expertise and execution of his practice are without peer.

Posted by Christy | December 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Student loan debt resolution

I hired Tom to help me navigate options to resolve confusing private student loan debt with compounding interest and late fees. Tom was knowledgeable about the systems and shared my options (not just bankruptcy) as well as a recommendation. He clearly communicated next steps and how he could facilita...te. Before I chose Tom as my lawyer, I experienced lawyers who were ambiguous about their terms, only wanted to focus on bankruptcy, or who did not educate me about what before/during/after such a debt might look. Tom's rates were evidence of his compassion, especially given how hard he worked to negotiate and help me resolve my debts (which he succeeded in doing). He is down to earth and a great communicator. I highly recommend him to anyone out there who is considering taking loans, feels in debt but wants more options than bankruptcy, or who wants an experienced negotiator.

Solid counselor, very knowledgeable about all aspects of my legal concerns

Thomas Johnston is an excellent attorney. He provided legal counsel for my business during a damages hearing. He charged a fixed rate for his services, so we could plan, and continue our primary concern of operating the business. Since the case is still pending, I cannot comment further, but would... highly recommend Thomas M. Johnston as your choice for counsel!
