WARNING

Attorney Ann Johnson was my divorce lawyer. First lawyer I ever had and now I have been through half a dozen trying to protect my child and get out of the mess she created. She lies, gives horrible representation and is not there to protect the client but only her representation. I strongly suggest n...ot using her services and that she leaves this industry. She is only hurting the local community and should have her license removed.

Money motivated

We hired Ann for a very emotionally charged custody case. Ann was driven by money and several times unprepared in the court room and when she did speak she would not even know my child's name as she would call my child by another name. She did NOT represent nor fight for my childs best interests t...hus in one situation losing the argument that my 7 year old child should be picked up by his mother after school and allowing my child's fathers girlfriend of 3 months to pick my child up. She is completely self absorbed and will charge you outlandish fees and do nothing for you. Theres too many other attorneys out there... run from her or get ready to lose custody and all your money.

Was not pleased

I hired her for a child support dispute. I was not happy with how she handled my case. She did not inform me of my options, and the course she took ended with my child's support being set at $126/mo. The next lawyer I hired was great, and my case ended with my child's support being set at $468. She w...asted my time and money.

Ann Johnson Family Court Attorney Highly Recommended - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

I had a custody case which Ann handled timely and professionally. I really appreciated her help in the past so currently I've requested her services again today. You want her on you're side of the court room!
