Excellent Attorney

Matthew did an excellent job for me as my divorce attorney. It was complicated and I was emotional during most of it. He kept me calm, worked through truly what would be best outcome for me and helped me stay strong. I can't thank him enough for his knowledge and support.

Highly recommend

I don't have a single complaint, attorney Johnson and his team did an amazing job helping me navigate divorce and custody. We focused on the things I found most important, if you have a complicated divorce I highly recommend him, I'm very happy with the end results.

Post Divorce-Placement

I was divorced in 2018 and recently received a motion to revise my current placement schedule. After reviewing reviews and obtaining personal references, I decided to hire Attorney Johnson as my new attorney to represent me in this motion. I originally thought I was making a mistake because, he ...did not know my divorce history. However, I quickly discovered my fears to be unfounded. Attorney Johnson took time to listen to me and obtain the history he needed to properly represent me. Through the proceedings, Attorney Johnson informed me of my options and explained the process to me. He informed me of the possible next steps and was always available to answer my emails. On the day of my hearing, Attorney Johnson provided the facts we needed to defend our position. As a result, of his diligent work, the ruling went in our favor. I would recommend Attorney Johnson to anyone that needs an honest and caring attorney. My regret is not having him as my lawyer 2-years ago when I was going through my divorce.

Excellent Service! Great communication!

I hired Attorney Johnson to represent me during my divorce. Attorney Johnson is very knowledgeable about the process and explained everything in a very clear manner. Both attorney Johnson and his legal assistant were very quick to respond to any questions that I had along the way.

Matthew handled my divorce and was excellent

I started talking to Matthew early in the process of the divorce. He helped me with advice on how to handle some of the tough spots I was in. As things proceeded, Matthew and his staff really helped me through the process while not making the overall process any more painful than it needed to be emot...ionally or fiscally. I highly recommend.

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.
