I endorse this lawyer. I have had the privilege of working with Michael Johnson on a difficult and intricate federal white collar crime case. In the course if this we have discussed a wide range of legal matters and cases. Michael Johnson is a superb, insightful, perceptive and deeply experienced attorney. If I were in trouble with the criminal law I would want him defending me. He’s brilliant, relentless, clear-eyed, and rigorously honest. You could not do better than to have him in your corner. I recommend him without the slightest reservation.
