Client

Tim was very professional - he knows the law & almost everyone in the courthouse! He provided simple explanation of the law and helped reduce my sentence with a fair out come. I highly recommend Tim for your criminal defense.

Moving Violation

Tim Johns arrived at the courtroom on time he already knew the all the aspects of my case we called in front of the Judge and proved to the Judge I should have not received the moving violation

So impressed with Timothy Johns work

In May of 2016, I was placed under arrest because of a registered taser in my possession, which in the state of Illinois, New York and California it is considered a firearm. After being placed under arrest, the Illinois Cook County States Attorney charged me with a felony possession of a loaded firea...rm. Once I was given a court date, I called Mr. Johns immediately to provide legal representation for my charge. My court case had gone on for a year and the states attorney did not want to budge or reduce the sentence at all, she wanted me to serve 3 years in the penitentiary which is the minimum sentence for a firearm. After Mr. Johns fighting for so long to help, we got the sentence reduced to me just doing the adult probation program. I was only sentenced to a 2 year span of probation also, which is the minimum considering the circumstances of my unique case. Mr. Johns got the states attorney to agree with TASC probation as well, which well help me expunge the felony off my record at a sooner date . I appreciate all of Mr. Johns help and will continue to go to him in the future for any legal help, or any legal advice. He's a very wise guy and knows what he is doing. I couldn't be more thankful to have found such an amazing lawyer. I recommend anyone to use him for any and all legal purposes.

TIM IS AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!

Tim Johns was referred to me by a friend, and I'm extremely happy that I hired him! Tim is very well known and respected in the industry. He did an unbelievable job with my case and he couldn't have been nicer. I will tell everyone I know to call Tim Johns if they need any legal advice. THANKS AG...AIN TIM!

Highly Recommended

Mr. Johns is incredibly knowledgeable of the law, which any good lawyer should be. The thing that sets Tim apart from other attorneys is the relationships he has built within the court system. It's evident just by walking through the courthouse with Tim that he is well known and well respected by his... peers. He's a no BS kind of lawyer and I appreciated that very much. He tells you what to expect, and he delivers. It bothers me to think there are people out there who will promise you the world, collect their pay, and not deliver on those promises. Tim was able to get my charges reduced, which is obviously great - not having these particular charges on my record is incredible. It was more than I expected considering my arresting officer did all he could to make me sound as if I were guilty as could be. Perhaps the most impressive part of Tim's services occurred when I was set to leave the country for vacation but was unable to because of my probation - Tim was in court with me the day after I informed him and I left with a court order giving me permission to travel. Tim knows the system, he knows the people within the system, and he knows how to work it.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Tim Johns is one of the finest attorneys I have ever met. Tim is extremely intelligent and street wise. When you walk into a Courthouse with Tim, it is like walking the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards- the guy knows EVERYBODY! He seems to be friends with every Lawyer, Sheriff, Judge, Clerk, Court Reporter, Police Officer and even the guy who cleans the restrooms. His charisma is legendary and for a client, this is a huge advantage when he is in court representing you! I would highly recommend Tim. Very few people have got the kind of easy going manner that just wins over everyone- like he does. Any person looking to hire "THE GUY" in Cook County, would make a great choice choosing Tim. This is the lawyer for you!"
