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!

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.

A client

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!!!!!

custody

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.
