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.
