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 !!

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!!!!!

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.
