Highly Recommend Attorney David Johnson As Your Criminal Defense Lawyer

Attorney David Johnson did a fantastic job in helping me resolve my case with the best outcome realistically possible. Throughout the experience of the hearing and the court case, he was knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to ensuring I received the best possible outcome for my case. From our... very first meeting in December, he went out of the way to explain everything to me in terms I could easily understand and both David Johnson and his assistant Lisa Ritter, were both extremely responsive and willing to go above and beyond to answer my questions outside of our meetings. I'm immensely appreciative of his time and commitment to supporting me during what was a very emotionally exhausting court case. I would strongly encourage anyone looking for a defense attorney who will fight tirelessly for them to hire Attorney David Johnson, he is an exceptional lawyer, and I am profoundly grateful for his service.

Great to Work With

I hired David Johnson for a pretty tough case and he his assistant Lisa did a great job of just listening. After discussing the situation he quickly had a plan, which was discussed and implemented. David Johnson understands your situation, and looks for quick resolve. His assistant Lisa & David were ...very quick to respond to questions, or to get a response from the courts. David was very knowledgeable when it came to law and my situation. I followed his direction every step of the way as he guided me throughout the process. It is very important to retain and hire a lawyer who understands the jurisdiction of where your case is held. He understands the system. It’s important. It was a pleasure working with David on my situation, and I would highly recommend an attorney who listens and understands. If quick results with a desirable outcome is what your after please give David Johnson and his team a call.

Fabulous DUI/DWAI Representation

When selecting representation for my daughter's DUI case, David was the only lawyer who took the time to listen to me as a parent and really show compassion and understanding of our situation. Not only are his fees reasonable, but his knowledge and experience gave us all comfort that my daughter woul...d be in good hands. It was the first time she'd ever been in any sort of legal trouble, so he was able to give us calm during a very scary and unknown period of time. Since we are not from Colorado it was crucial that there was good communication and explanation of Colorado law and process. He took the time to meet via zoom conference all with all of us several times during the process up through the court date. He was very responsive to all our questions and walked us through what was likely to happen. What impressed me most about David is that he got my daughter working on some of the things ahead of time that the courts generally order you do after the court date. So by the time the court date came around, she was nearly done with almost everything except the community service. Most everyone who processed paperwork after the court date was really impressed with how far ahead she was, which means she got really GREAT advice from David. Despite being a very stressful period for my daughter, who was also trying to get through her freshman year at CSU, he managed to turn a very fearful situation into something manageable, understandable, and no so scary. She will be finished with her supervised probation soon and her record sealed after one year. We've all learned valuable lessons and will never forget David for how much care he showed our family, and how calming and effective he was in resolving the case. Paul

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

David Johnson was an answer to my prayers when seeking legal advice. He is very easy to talk to, has sound advice, and is very competent in his craft. After an initial consultation over the phone he won my trust and respect immediately. I genuinely believe that David has every client’s best intere...st at the very top of his priorities. Simply put, he is unlike any attorney I’ve encountered in the past - for the better! It’s never fun or easy to seek counsel and representation when things get sideways but David Johnson and his supporting staff made all the difference in providing peace and professionalism in a very stressful situation. I am proud to have had him for my representation and in many ways feel as if I gained a friendship during the time we spent working through my case. Thank you and your staff for all your help!

David Johnson the greatest lawyer you could ask for!

David Johnson is the best lawyer you could ever ask for! I’m not writing this in lightly if anything I usually leave bad reviews but for Mr.Johnson and his law firm and law clerk Lisa they are nothing less than perfect. They truly care about you and your life and will go to great lengths to get you t...he deals you thought would never happen. He has helped me so much to keep my family together when I was looking at 4-12 years and he got me three years probabtion again! Yes again for my fifth revocation of probabtion. If lawyers where magicians this man would be David Blane!!! He has a way with words and has a personal connection to your case that no other lawyer has! If you font hire him your truly missing out! Worth every penny and then some!
