5 stars isn’t enough!

I could not recommend Joseph Johnson more! I was involved in a 2 vehicle crash in June of 2018 that resulted in headaches and neck pain. After months of conservative treatment I wasn’t getting better and knew I needed help with next steps. I was referred to Joseph by Brian Breiter’s office given the ...nature of my case in the beginning (percieved whiplash and disc herniation). Joseph got me set up with appointments for top notch medical professionals quickly and I was able to start getting more opinions and treatment. Eventually, we discovered that my headaches were caused by a chiari malformation, which is a congenital defect that can be a-symptomatic until trauma, so in this case significant whiplash. The only solution was an invasive brain surgery that resulted in permanently removing part of my skull and the front of my C1 vertebrae. Joseph continued to advocate for my treatment, medical bills and long term care coverage with the insurance company of the at-fault party to no avail. They were unwilling to settle enough to even cover my medical bills! We went through mediation and multiple negotiations and it felt endless. Joseph assured me it would work out and I trusted him implicitly (and boy am I glad I did!) 6 years after the accident, we finally saw our days in court. Joseph looped Brian Brieter and another attorney (Jeff Twomey) back in and we got our chance in front of a jury with an all star team of expert witnesses. 2 days of jury selection, 4 days of testimonies and cross examinations, and a day of jury deliberation and we won a huge jury award. There were plenty of moments I had to trust them and trust the process which isn’t easy to do when money is on the line but I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Joseph was there in the court room every day, reassuring me and just being a helpful & calm presence during such a stressful time. The defense argued I had a pre-existing condition and it was no relation, but the medical experts Joseph arranged me to work with early on proved differently. I firmly believe the work he did back in the beginning of establishing me with the best of the best medical professionals is what led to us winning this case. I’m still not 100%, and don’t think i ever will be, but Joseph along with Brian Brieter and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was both medically and financially taken care of. I was able to see a top notch neurosurgery expert (Dr. Mobin) at their referral, my medical bills were paid in full and I have enough money for my future to continue the care I will need and to compensate the overall pain, suffering and distress this crash caused me. It was an absolute life changing amount. None of this would have been possible without the groundwork Joseph laid out for us. He knew what I was worth and advocated that my trauma and experience was worth more than the measly partial coverage originally being offered. I cannot thank him enough!

Amazing results for my TBI auto accident

Joey is an outstanding attorney and a great guy. He helped me with my auto accident case where his excellent negotiation skills far exceeded my expectations. He treated me like family and I felt like he always had my back.

Kindly Achiever

Recently I had the distinct pleasure of legal representation by Joseph Johnson for a no fault car accident: What struck my initially was Joseph's patience and attention in hearing every detail of the accident from beginning to end. Having established this firm foundation of clear communication; w...e were able to quickly move through next steps. After much coordinated, triangulated communiques with my credit union and the livery services insurance: we eventually came to a $16,600 settlement. More than I could have hoped for. Joseph is a natural, patient and subtly savvy legal expert and is a tremendous asset on any case. I am most grateful, Adrian Brooks Collins Inventor, filmmaker, writer.

Great referral

Joseph Johnson was working in a law firm that specialized in insurance defense when I asked him for a referral to an attorney for the plaintiff in a personal injury case. He referred me to a great attorney for the plaintiff, and she brought me to a very good settlement. I highly endorse Joseph John...son’s judgment and would highly recommend going with him, now that he is working on the plaintiff’s side, for a personal injury complaint.

Slip and Fall Accident

Mr. Joseph Johnson was instrumental in resolving my slip and fall accident case where my ankle was severely broken, requiring surgery. He took control and dealt with the insurance company allowing me to recover without being harassed by the insurance company. He was able to resolve my case very fav...orably with minimum of inconvenience to me.
