Matthew was an awesome attorney he worked really hard on my case and got back to me as quickly as he could. Since the beginning he was upfront honest and got straight to the point truly was a pleasure to work with. In the end I was happy with the outcome. Couldn't have hired a more better attorney to... handle my case I would recommend him to anyone!

Mr. Clingaman

Matthew was outstanding and got us exactly what we trying to accomplish in our case. Helpful, open to our ideas and suggestions, and patient. He did what lawyers in California, Virginia, and Ohio could not do - Win our Case! Thank you Matthew

Great Representative

My soon to be ex petitioned for divorce on November 2012. In December 2012, I retained Attorney Matthew Johnson. I had no knowledge of what it took to complete the divorce process. The soon to be ex chose to turn a simple divorce into a messy, frivolous and lengthy process. Her proposed marital settl...ement agreement was totally unreasonable. She made numerous threats and demands rather than working through an amicable solution. She disregarded the temporary orders and went through three attorneys until the trial date was set one and one-half years after she filed. Attorney Johnson and his staff were exceptionally professional during this whole process. They walked me through the process until I understood it. He and his staff promptly returned my phone calls. They always had logical answers to my questions. E-mails and correspondences were sent to me as soon as they received correspondences from the other side. The communication was great and I always felt as if I was in the loop. We had numerous court appearances during the process. Attorney Johnson appeared in court early and ready!!! Attorney Johnson always treated the petitioner, the opposing attorneys and I with respect. He focused on the main points and did not waste time on meaningless issues. He filed motions and subpoenas when it became evident that the petitioner would not cooperate. His strengths were exemplified during the court hearings and trial. The petitioner was found in contempt of court on numerous charges and was ordered to supply information which she was obligated to disclose. She was also ordered to pay part of my attorney fees. I always felt comfortable and confident that Attorney Johnson would represent me to the fullest extent of the law. I highly recommend Attorney Matthew Johnson as a divorce/trial attorney. He will represent you fairly and expeditiously.
