To put it simply, George Johnson is an all-around great person with great knowledge in his field. Could not be happier.

It was the first time I ever had to call someone for help with a DUI, so I was quickly trying to find attorneys near me. George was the only one who answered and to this day has always answered the phone and been incredibly helpful. He managed to clearly explain my situation, what my options were, an...d what the best route was. He continues to still help me today and without him I don't know where I would be. I highly recommend George whether it is your first or multiple offense. He definitely knows what he is doing and will look after your case with care.

Great Attorney

George did a 5 star job for me. He did such a great job that we got a better deal than expected because the courts delayed the case for so long for such a simple case. Thanks George again for such a great job. I will only use this guy for my traffic infractions from this day forward.

Best in St Louis County

I've used Mr. Johnson once before for my son's DWI and accident. He got an excellent result at a moderate price. I had to use him myself recently for my second DWI along with an additional 4 moving violations. Mr. Johnson was able to get the administrative DWI and all criminal charges dismissed. The... price was moderate. My first attorney can't compare to Mr. Johnson. I've had lots of friends go through this and the attorneys usually just talk to the prosecutors and take whatever deal the prosecutors offer. This whole deal is a revenue generating racket for local municipalities and has nothing to do with public safety. A local prosecutor is at a disadvantage when facing Mr. Johnson. He is expert in traffic law, it's nuances and application. He told me he had been doing it for 43 years. It's more complicated than I ever realized. Johnson is forthright, humble and most of all expert in practice. From what I know with my past experience and that of other friends, Mr. Johnson is the best traffic attorney in St Louis County at the best price.

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.
