Went Above And Beyond

Doug and his assistant Dawn went above and beyond multiple times while defending me. I received the best possible outcome for my case because Doug took the time to speak with me whenever I needed. Doug was there to help guide me through this most difficult time of my life and for that I am eterna...lly grateful.

Thanks to Doug Johnson, our case was dismissed.

Doug was helpful in explaining the process and procedures for our case from day one. He explored the records and researched the case with detail and expertise. His persistence and awareness of the law allowed him to aid us in getting our case dismissed. We are grateful for his professionalism and ...tenacity.

An Amazing Lawyer, and All Around Great Guy

Johnson Law group is the most professional and knowledgeable legal establishments that I have encountered. Doug Johnson and his Father Mark Johnson are the prime example of a family who cares. They are both expert lawyers who truly cares about each of their clients regardless of how minor or major th...e case may seem. I was in a terrible spot, and where many turned their backs, Doug and his father Mark fought hard and ensured that justice was served. They actually listened to my feelings as well as equip me with legal knowledge of everything that was occurring. I went from a place of not being able to sleep easy to a place of peace, and had it not been for this exceptional firm, I would not have that feeling. I would recommend them 1 million times over, and I wish there were more stars to give.

Mr

Doug was dedicated to finding the most positive outcome to my case. Without his expertise and knowledge I would’ve had no hope in preserving my rights. The Johnson Legal team are a group of hard working professionals I would personally recommend to anyone. Happy holidays, Doug.

Outstanding service from an outstanding lawyer!

Doug was amazing to work with. He was very easy going, charismatic, and genuine. He made it very easy to form a sense of trust and communication. This was my very first run in with the law and so I had a million quiestions and concerns. Doug took a lot of time going through each and every detail to a...nswer my questions and was very patient with me. Doug really took the time and made me know he really cared about helping my case and helping me get the best possible outcome. He made my lengthy court process easy and helped me keep my anxiety at a low. Doug is a very VERY good lawyer and did a wonderful job communicating everything with me and helping me prepare for my court dates. Needless to say this whole process would have been a nightmare with Doug.

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.
