This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Larry Johnson was a professional and well educated lawyer

Larry was an exceptional lawyer to have. He went above and beyond to not only make sure i was fully aware of the details of each step along the way, but also made me feel comfortable as we went through a personal issue. Larry was someone that took an interest as myself and my family, I was not just a... client, but a person in his eyes, to me that is important, he would even call just to see how my newborn was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend Larry or use him again!

Very happy customer

I went to Mr. Johnson lost and not knowing which way to turn. After fighting with my previous employer to get paid for the hours I worked, I waited months and got no where. I met with Mr. Johnson and he helped guide me in what I needed to do. I met with him on a Thursday afternoon. Before I made it h...ome we were in contact 3 times with updates on how everything was progressing. By Monday morning, Mr. Johnson informed me that my paychecks will be in the mail. It took him mere days to accomplish what I tried months to accomplish. I am ever grateful for his quick and professional actions in my case. Hopefully I will never have to endure this ordeal again but if I do I will be returning to him. A+++ in my book. Thank you again so much!!!

A very honest and trustworthy attorney.

From the beginning of our case over non collected overtime pay from a previous employer Larry not only handle the case with professionalism but was also knowledgeable, friendly, and took a serious interest in our best interests. I would recommend Larry Johnson to any one in need of an attorney!!!!!

Unpaid Overtime Compensation & Retaliation Relief

Larry and his partners exceeded my expectations with how they handled my case. He kept me updated through-out every single step he took, and was always prompt with replies to any questions I had and on any updates on my case. I trusted him 100%, and he handled everything quickly with care and urgency.... It ment a lot that anytime I contacted him or his partners, I got immediate responses. Larry and his partners are the first attorneys I have ever worked with, and are the only attorneys I will ever work with for employment and labor cases.

Severance Negotiation

Attorney Johnson recently helped me work through a hostile workplace situation, which was settled quickly through successful severance negotiations. A settlement would not have been possible without his sound knowledge of employment law.

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.
