Laura D Johnson

When first meeting Laura, I was just starting the process of thinking of filing for divorce. She was recommended to me by someone else in her office. I went to her, trusting their opinion. Leaving the consultation, I had confidence in her. She was professional and kind. She told me that I would get e...verything I was asking for and there was no way my soon to be ex husband would walk away with what he was asking for. I felt this way right up until we were sitting across the table from the mediator. Laura did NOT have my best interest at heart like I had previously thought. I feel like she told me the things I had wanted to hear during the times I had spent with her. She did not fight for me or my child. During mediation, I found out she had previously been an advocate for Father's Rights, and I, as a mother, hired her to help me fight for my child. She, along with the mediator, told me that the deal on the table was the best I was going to get. And if I went in front of a judge, I wouldn't get even close to what was being proposed that day. At the end of mediation, after I had to draw up my own parent time schedule and the "spousal support" agreement, she had the nerve to ask if I was happy with the outcome. I, obviously, wasn't and she told me she hoped I didn't report her to the bar! I was blown away at how she misrepresented herself. It was partly my fault for not doing my research and hiring the first attorney I met with, but where she came recommended, I trusted the firm. I regret that now. I have since hired a different attorney and consulted with him. He has told me time and time again that I would have had a better outcome had I gone in front of a judge or a commissioner. I will not recommend Laura Johnson to anyone. She did not fight for me.

Laura, Organized and Structured A Decree of Divorce and Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law which was sent and signed off from the Third Judicial District Court form the State of Utah. Laura is amazing... very detailed and very intelligent. When I seek to work with an attorney/lawyer to re...present me, I look at six Character points; 1. dependability 2. Loyalty 3. Ability 4. positive mental attitude 5. willing to go the extra mile, and 6. applied Faith. Laura represents and owns all six of these characteristics attributes. What I experienced in working with Laura, is she identfies situations as opportunity's rather than problems therefor always delivering great results. I highly recommend Laura D Johnson.

I worked with Laura several years ago now, but have recently revisited my case history for personal (not legal) reasons. Laura was my first attorney ever and I went with her and her firm without first getting a second opinion. Laura was not as available as I'd have liked for consultation or ongoing n...eeds and appeared unprepared at the lectern when presenting documents in court. She also did not file a key document in a timely manner, which could have resulted in significant consequences. With my case seeming to be mired in complications and costs that I didn't find to be satisfactory, I consulted several other attorneys to obtain additional opinions, then decided to change my counsel. My new counsel brought the case to a rapid and effective resolution at a fraction of what I'd already paid.

Laura was fantastic with my case in which we were "underdogs". She was very professional throughout the process and did her homework before the court date. What I also really liked was the fact that Ms. Johnson and her office associates responded very timely to my questions. I could not be happi...er with how the case was handled and how I was treated. Thank you.

I retained Laura Johnson thru Cordell & Cordell after my initial consultation with Doug Anderson who is the supervising attorney. I was told that my case was "EXACTLY WHAT THEY PRACTICE" and was a pretty open and shut case. After I was appointed Mrs. Johnson, everything started off well and seemed li...ke we were making progress. about a month after I retained her and $5k in the hole, I started to feel like she didn't have my best interest at heart and boy was I right! When the court date finally came for our temporary hearing and after meeting with her a week before to go over our strategy I felt like we would walk away with a good outcome. When we were in court she looked like she had no clue about my case whatsoever and could not use ANYTHING that we had filed as evidence against my ex. She let her attorney walk all over us!!! Here is the best part!! What attorney agrues with the judge that her clients income is HIGHER than what the judge calculated!!! She literally argued with the judge that my monthly income was $3800+ per month when I had already advised her that she had calculated it wrong and it should of been $3340 a month. The commissioner even came up with the same calculation as me and MY attorney argued against it!!!! so because of that the commissioner did not want to argue with her and ended up going with opposing counsels amount which was 3900+ a month. DO NOT GO WITH THESE ATTORNEYS!!! YOU ARE BETTER OFF DEFENDING YOURSELF
