Amazing attorney who wins when odds are against him.

After getting charged with my 5th felony assault and I had been to TDC once and state jail once already I went and talked to Charles with a good friend who used him already. Charles gave me his word and backed it up. 7 months later even with witnesses my charges were dropped just like he told me he ...would make happen. I should have went to prison at least 5 years but instead I walked out of there free. If you want an attorney who generally cares for you, takes his job serious, trustworthy, creates positive results, and worth every cent he his paid, then Charles Johnson is what you want on your team. He is a super lawyer and a down to earth man. He is a true blessing!!!

The right attorney for a criminal case.

Mr. Johnson and his staff handled my case very well. This was my first time needing a criminal attorney and they walked me through the process from bond to dismissal. I trusted Mr. Johnson and he got my case dismissed. His knowledge of the law is thorough, and his confidence in the courtroom put me a...t ease in a less than ideal situation.

An Alternative To Prison

I can't say enough about this firm and my lawyer, Charles Johnson. I have dealt with the Charles Johnson Law firm for more than one case throughout the past 8 years and I do have to say that he has always come through with the best results. In the most recent case my son was looking at years in pris...on. Mr. Johnson found him an alternative to a prison program. Mr. Johnson got him into the program and the court to approve it and he stayed out of jail. Charles Johnson was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered; we were always able to reach him one way or another. His professionalism, humanity and understanding were beyond what I could ever hope for. Couldn't ask for a better firm and lawyer, simply the Best!!!!! Impressive skills and a wonderful down to earth person to speak to as well as being tough enough to get things done. I would recommend Charles Johnson to anyone and he will also be the first person I contact for any further needs !!!!!

10/10 Would Recommend

Catherine Johnson is the attorney that handled my case. I was offered ridiculous plea deals by an inexperienced DA with an ax to grind in a hostile county and instead of turning belly up, she fought like a tiger in that courtroom. Her skill, knowledge and the masterful application of both guarant...eed the 4 years in prison I was facing was brought down to a measly 6 month probation sentence. Catherine Johnson kept me out of prison and allowed me to continue my life. My family and I are very grateful. Jesse White & Family

The Perfect Lawyer

Charles Johnson was outstanding representating my brother case. He was able to prove he was innocent and all charges were dropped. He was my brother's angel while protecting him from the allegations. Thank you so much for helping us and understanding the whole ordeal.
