A Qualified Professional Attorney

Mr Johnson accepted my case knowing that it would require substantial time and effort on his part to win the case. He kept me well informed and was also available for questions and advice. He remained positive through out the proceedings and made intelligent decisions regarding the case. His knowl...edge on when to accept an offer at the right time prevailed and we won the case. In the end, he did a phenominal job and I would recommend his services.

Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommended

Attorney Richard S. Johnson is an excellent Attorney who has been not only helpful throughout my contact with him, but very respectful and timely. I was in a auto accident early August, and was struck at 100 mph by another driver on the highway who was driving recklessly. My car was totaled and I wo...ke up in the hospital. I thank God, and It is a miracle that I am alive and walked away with no major long term injuries. I participated in physical therapy and received some treatment for whiplash for a couple months following the accident. The insurance company of the other driver was giving me the run around regarding compensation for my vehicle and injuries, so I found the need to contact an Attorney. My daughter, an Attorney in another State, researched good Attorneys for me to call and Richard was at the top of the list. I was satisfied with the customer service and level of explanation received on my first consultation, and meeting with Richard. His paralegal Andrea Viera has also been very helpful. My bodily injury case was closed in October 2015, and I received compensation for the injuries I sustained. This was much faster than I expected. I currently still have an open case for property damage that Richard is assisting me with because the insurance company for the other driver (once again) was giving me the run around, and I had been in a rental car for over two months. I am confident Richard will resolve this in a timely manner. Also, Richard has fair charges and a reasonable retainer agreement. I highly recommend Richard and his staff. They are knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, respectful, and courteous. I am wholeheartedly grateful to Richard and Andrea Viera for their outstanding support and progress thus far. I wanted to complete this review at this point, to add to the recent reviews for individuals making a determination of who to contact for future representation.

Best in The Business

I have had the pleasure of being represented by Richard Johnson on a couple of occasions. He is undoubtedly one of the very best lawyers in Las Vegas. Richard is not only intelligent but extremely knowledgeable in the legal arena. He instills confidence in all of his clients when everyone is proba...bly more vulnerable than usual. When you have Richard in your corner you know that you will come out the winner. His interaction with opposing counsel is definitely another very strong point. He is never intimidated and holds his ground solidly. Richard is a tough lawyer but also an extremely wonderful man. He is very easy to communicate with and there is absolutely no pretense. Do yourself a favor-pick up the phone and hire this gentleman if you want to win in court. I would refer him to anyone. Barbara Strzemp

An attorney who actually wants to help people.

Mr Johnson helped me so much in 1 phone call than what my own paid attorney did for me in 4 years, Mr Johnson helped me even thought he did not take my case. How amazing to know such an attorney still exists today. He painted the big picture of where I stand now in my litigation with viable option...s, something my own attorney can't even give me, or at least be honest about it. It is good to know there are still good people, good attorneys, out there, there are attorneys out there who actually do want to help people, yes, even in Las Vegas. :))

Great attorney!!!

Attorney Richard Johnson represented me for a medical malpractice case. He was knowledgeable, experienced, assertive and aggressive with opposing attorneys, yet compassionate and empathetic for my case. When I called him with any question, he was quick to respond. In my opinion, I am completely sati...sfied and highly impressed with his professional services rendered to me. I highly recommend this attorney for any high or low profile medical malpractice matter.He really knows what he's doing!
