Lundgren & Johnson are the absolute best!

I could go on and on with a never ending list of good things to say about David Lundgren. A family member of mine needed representation and after a thorough search of many lawyers we retained David Lundgren and Adam Johnson. David & Adam are extremely knowledgeable, thorough, dedicated, honest, profe...ssional, kind and genuinely committed to doing all that can possibly be done for their clients. They are always available and very patient. There is no doubt if you hire them that your case will be handled with absolute expertise and care from start to finish. David and Adam are able to take the worst time of your life and help you see light and guide you through a complicated legal process. Even when the case concluded for my family member they continued to be available to me for questions related and unrelated to the case they were retained for. Look no further hire Lundgren & Johnson.

Outstanding Lawyer

David was instrumental in helping me navigate through two cases in separate counties. From the onset I had confidence that favorable resolutions would be reached, and of course, in both cases they were. David is highly knowledgeable, extremely personable, and fully devoted to his clients from start t...o finish. In hard times, you can do yourself no better favor than to have Mr. Lundgren on your side.

Excellent attorney

I would truly recommend this law firm. Very knowledgeable about the law. They won my case for me about 5 years ago and still to this day, they still answer my questions. They treat you like a person and not like a paycheck!

David Lundgren saved my life

The police were trying to talk to me. They did an investigation and tried to file charges on me and were unsuccessful because of the work Dave and his firm did. I highly recommend him, it was definitely worth the money.

Excellent Attorney

When my teenage son needed legal support, Mr. Lundgren provided calm, reassuring counsel quickly and courteously to our family. He really went the extra mile with his statutory proficiency. Mr. Lundgren did more than enough to help my son navigate and resolve his first-ever legal defense matter. W...e thank him for his professionalism and continued support. We would recommend Mr. Lundgren again in a heartbeat.

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.
