Michael R. Johnson

Michael represented me in a complicated custody modification case that seemed an uphill battle from the very beginning due to being an active duty service member getting ready to leave the state. Active duty service members often get the short end of the deal because it is difficult to prove "stabil...ity" in court when one is changing duty stations every few years, especially as a single parent. When I first met Michael, the first thing that instantly stood out about him is that he is very pensive and thinks about what he is going to say before he says it. Yet, as he continued to represent me for the 14 months following, I discovered that he is well-experienced and able to handle the overly-aggressive type of attorneys (such as my ex-spouse's in my case). Michael did a fine job researching military options. For example, he assisted in allowing my side of the family to be granted some time while I am on deployments who otherwise would have never been allowed to see my child if my ex-spouse had his way. I was also granted to have my child with me outside the state for much more time than I thought would ever be possible. Michael was always available on the phone/email and personally responded to my queries promptly. I appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail in my case. With Michael's dedication, I was able to keep my child in my life while serving our country. I will continue to take all my future post-divorce legal issues to Michael. Highly recommend!!!!!

I hired Michael to help me get custody of my son 2 years ago. At this time I had no rights to my son at all and I was a single father. Getting custody seemed like a far stretch for me and the position I was in. Michael was extremely professional and paid great attention to detail, which was a relief ...for me because i have retained lawyers in the past who were less than competent. Michael got me primary physical custody of my son which was much more than i had expected to happen. 6 months ago my sons mother retained a lawyer and filed for a custody modification. I retained Michael once again and this time the case was more complex than the first. With my previous experience of having Michael representing me it was a no brainer that Michael would be able to successfully assist me in retaining primary custody. Michael once again did a fantastic job and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. I would refer anyone who needed an excellent family attorney to Michael R. Johnson.
