Genelle Johnson

Genelle Johnson would be better off as practicing as a prosecutor than a criminal defense attorney. She was appointed for me by the State Public Defender’s Office to handle an appeal on my behalf. She did not keep me updated, did not listen to my suggestions and refused to fight for me. In fact,... she refused to raise the issues I requested in the court of appeals. Guess what? The court of appeals said she was wrong; not once, but twice. The court of appeals shot the appeal back to her because she erred. What did she do the second time around? The same thing! The court of appeals shot it back, again. I got rid of her at that point. She does not understand a lawyer is an advocate and is supposed to operate in her clients’ best interest. She just doesn’t get it. Don’t waste your time. She is incompetent. Hire someone else. She will get you no where in the court room. Her legal skills are neither respected nor feared in the local legal community.
