Excellent personal injury attorney

Patrick is a very caring, professional, experienced, honest, and persistent attorney, He handled our personal injury case and was by our side each minute. He never seemed bothered by our calls, our request for him to re-explain content that we didn't understand fully. His office, investigator and ...he (himself) are excellent people. Please consider this firm, it would be worth your time and peace of mind.

Patrick is a Excellent Attorney

I went to Johnston Law Offices with some traffic tickets and issues and he helped me a lot. Was very responsive to my phone calls and always received a call back within 24 hours. I would recommend Patrick or Ben to anyone who needs a reliable attorney.

Great Lawyer!

Patrick Johnston was my lawyer after my car accident. He always took the time to talk to me when I had questions. He didn't make me wait days for an answer. He made sure I was informed and updated about my case.

Great lawyer

I have known Patrick Johnston for many years. We both started our law careers at the same law firm. Because I retired from my practice, I now send cases to Patrick. He has always done a great job with the cases I refer to him. I highly recommend Patrick Johnston to handle your legal matters.

Awesome and Trust Worthy Attorney

Had the misfortune of being involved with two accidents within a year and a half and couldnt have asked for a better place to be represented by. Patrick was a super individual and the ladies in the office were so kind and personable. I would never go to another attorney around the area. Johnston Law ...Office is the best!

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.
