Don't hire

He refused to investigate the case. He likes to parade in like royalty. He lied to his client and sent his own client to jail due to lack of representation. You are risking everything by hiring this money hungry individual.

DUI Dropped

Kevin Sanborn is a very talented and an exceptionally talented attorney. Himself, partners, and all staff are extremely friendly, very knowledgeable in their field, and will answer any questions you have. Straight forward and to the point. I explained to Kevin that I was not willing to do any jail... time, community service, or surrender my license. He told me not to worry and that he will fight for me, and that HE DID! The DUI, along with other multiple charges were dropped and all I was charged with was reckless driving. End result, conditional discharge with fines + court costs. Like I said previously, NO JAIL TIME and NO LOSS OF LICENSE.. I am truly ecstatic with the outcome of my case and could not have achieved it without the services of my new friend Kevin Sanborn and everyone else at the Johnson Law Group. Highly recommended, don't go about it alone and why would you when you can have JLG in your corner. Thank you Kevin Sanborn, and JLG

Exceptional job!

Kevin did an awesome job for me. He was able to get my speeding and improper lane change dropped, and a plea on my DUI charge that will only result in court supervision and no conviction. I highly recommend Kevin!

Personal Attention

I hired Kevin to help me because I was facing multiple traffic tickets of high severity. Not only did Kevin help me get the best possible outcome for my case, but he also gave me personal attention and was available to answer any of the questions and concerns that I had along the way. He was very ope...n, honest and approachable throughout the entire process. I am glad that I chose to hire him because he is an expert in this field, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for help and personalized attention. Thank you!

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.
