Just Plain Lousy!

After my consultation with Gary Johnson, I payed the $400 initial fee ($750 total fee) and agreed to have him represent me in my case. He had me request a change in court date (which I did) and then call him with the new court date (which I did, leaving a voice mail with all the info). I did not hear... from him for about a month and a half. I then called him (about five days before my new court date) and he did not remember me. He asked if I had hired his firm, etc., and I reminded him about the upcoming court date. I asked him what I should expect at court. He replied that we would be out of there quickly, but gave no mention that I would be expected to plead either guilty or innocent. On the actual court date, an hour and fifteen minutes after he was supposed to be in court with me he still had not shown. I had not received a phone call from him or any of his associates either. A family member was able to get in contact with his secretary for me (since I did not have his phone number with me). His secretary contacted him and he replied, saying in a message to my family's voice mail that he got caught up in another court house (If he hadn't forgotten me once again, why did I not get a phone call to notify me of this a couple hours previous?), but I do not believe his explanation and did not receive any apology from him either. He did not tell me he would be at another court house that morning. He had his partner show up at court (now almost 2 hours late) to finish the case. I never got to talk over my options with him in advance before my court date as I would have liked, and basically never heard from the guy. He had his partner write the follow up letter as well. My experience with him was quite poor, and I definitely do not recommend seeking his "services."

"I endorse this lawyer. Gary Johnson has experience both as the former Kane County State's Attorney and years of experience as a criminal defense attorney. He is by far one of the top trial attorneys in the state of Illinois. He is the attorney that other attorneys go to when they are charged with crimes."

"I endorse this lawyer, as he is one of the finest criminal defense lawyers in Illinois. I have watched him represent clients in some of the most difficult cases ever tried in Illinois. I consider him a great example as an attorney and a mentor. He is one of the most talented litigators that I have encountered in my 26 year legal career, while being one of the most down-to-earth and genuine human beings."

  • 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.
