Michael Johnson embodies both legal expertise and exceptional human qualities.

I had the privilege of working with Michael Johnson on my divorce case recently. Throughout the process, Michael demonstrated exceptional skill in guiding me through what was often a challenging and contentious negotiation. Not only did he bring his extensive knowledge of family law to the table, but... he also helped me grasp what was fair and equitable in my case. There were moments when the emotional weight of the situation felt overwhelming, yet Michael's empathetic approach provided much-needed support. Despite it not being explicitly part of his job, he took the time to help me navigate the difficult emotions and realities associated with divorce proceedings. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to find peace with the outcome and move forward with confidence. Michael's professionalism and compassion truly made a difference during this trying time. I have the utmost confidence in him and recommend him without hesitation. He exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for his support throughout the entire process.

Top Notch Attorney

Michael Johnson was able to take on an extremely complicated case on short notice and complete what was requested in a reasonable period of time. I had spent a bunch of money with another law firm who kept saying they were doing things but never actually doing what was asked. Michael picked up the ca...se and was able to figure out what was going on and complete what was requested in the amount of time requested and did it for an extremely reasonable price! I've had over a dozen attorneys to date and definitely the best by far! Highly professional and recommended for anyone that wants to make sure they're getting the most value for their money!

You want him on your side

My wife and I hired Michael to facilitate the adoption of our grand-daughter. A few years prior, we had a different lawyer help us establish guardianship of her and we were not at all pleased with that lawyer so, needless to say, we were skeptical of lawyers prior to meeting with Michael. In our fi...rst meeting, Michael told us what to expect in this process from beginning to end and stated his fee up front and advised us to expect a few other court costs as well. Everything he said on day one is pretty much how the entire process unfolded. No unexpected charges or unexpected hoops to jump through. A lot had to be done to accomplish the adoption, but none of it was unexpected. Also, Michael was very patient with us, answered phone calls or returned them promptly and always answered emails promptly. For our needs and expectations, Michael was and will be a great asset. We plan on using him again early next year for some estate planning. Highly recommended.

Excellent legal counsel and representation !

I engaged the services of Mr. Johnson for an uncontested divorce. I was impressed beyond my expectations with the service he provided. He always made sufficient and timely availability to discuss my situation. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and found him to be thorough, ethical and c...ompassionate. I would recommend without reservation !!

I do not want to get into the details of why I needed Mike's help; however, I have hired him three times with three great results.

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.
