Sasa Johnen's Reviews

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He did what we thought was not likely

He did for me that which was very unlikely to get done. I appreciate attorney Johnen. They are all very understanding and kind people there

100 MPH + Traffic Ticket

I received a ticket for 100+ and paid the fine not knowing it would lead to an automatic 6 month suspension. Mr. Johnen was able to get my case reopened and the ticket reduced to 94 avoiding the suspension all together. Truly grateful for his representation. Highly recommend.

Everything turned out as promised

I hired attorney Johnen for a speeding ticket. As promised, he was able to get it reduced to a none moving violation. Which is great, because then it doesn’t hurt your insurance. If I ever get a speeding ticket again, Johnen will be the first person I call!

Traffic Ticket

Provided me with extremely clear expectations for the potential outcomes for a recent traffic ticket and represented me in court. Managed to reduce 3 point violation down to a 0 point violation.

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.
