A Lawyer Like None Other

Unfortunately, between my ex-husband and my husband’s ex-wife, I have more knowledge of family law and lawyers than I ever wanted to have. Hopefully that gives me some authority when I speak as highly of Mr. Johnson as I do. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable of the law and highly experienced, he... also has incredible intuition and common sense. He’s shrewd, quick, and able to foresee. He gets good reads on people and calls it like he sees it. In addition to intellect, he’s compassionate and kind—a rarity among lawyers. But he is. He just is. He is not motivated by the paycheck, and proves that he wants to do right by his client. He was incredibly generous with us and made it plain as day that helping us was his priority. This just isn’t the norm with lawyers. He’s brave in the courtroom and having hired timid lawyers before, let me tell you, this is everything. He’s quick on his feet and stands up to judges. He isn’t afraid to fight and isn’t about to let the opposing counsel ramrod you. It’s not that he plays dirty, it’s as he’ll tell you himself, “understanding the art of Chinese warfare.” He does. He knows when, where, and how to strike. It’s such a shame to use these terms in reference to family court, but the reality is...it’s a terrifying place where fallible people with questionable incentives make life-altering decisions for perfect strangers, holding our lives in the balance, and often to devastating outcomes. Greg Johnson sees this and is fighting in the side of right. He actually is one of the good guys. I honestly can’t recommend him enough. Five stars, 10 outta 10, 60% of the time works 100% of the time (that’s an Anchorman joke), simply the best. He’s also funny as hell, and highly accessible. Hire him.
