Laura D Johnson

I found Laura through a mutual friend. The first TWO attorneys in my divorce case did not serve me well, and charged exorbitant fees. Laura took over and knew how to communicate with opposing counsel, ultimately prevailing as favorably as possible. A few months later I referred her to my daughter.... Can there be a better reason to refer a great attorney?

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.

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
