Meet your new divorce attorney
I just finished my divorce and used Andrew Johnson and his team from beginning to end. I was primarily represented by Matt Cord but this whole office had a hand in my case. I can't speak highly enough about the service I received through this arduous process. Very professional, they return voice and emails promptly, and everyone is extremely friendly and easy to deal with. The advice they gave was spot on, they kept my emotions in check when they needed to be, and always considered any alternatives for solutions that I provided. They were all very reassuring when I had doubts about the way things would end up. Dealing with everyone in this office was an absolute pleasure and their performance in the court room was exceptional. Watching other cases on my court dates I never had any doubts that I had hired the right team to represent me. I'd give six stars if it was possible. I'd recommend anyone going through divorce to give these guys a shot. They will not let you down. Thank you Andrew, Matt, Liz, and Ruthy!! You're the best!

Ex husband
I had to have Mr Johnson clean up the mess my last 2 attorneys had left. My divorce was on its 5th year and in less than 90 days he resolved everything. Very professional and was there for all my questions. His staff was outstanding and responded quickly to my requests.

Domestice Violence charge dismissed.
I hired Andrew Johnson to fight two malicious lawsuits brought against me. The most serious was a Domestic Violence charge. If it wasn't for his knowledge and his excellent staff my life could have been ruined. The Judge dismissed both lawsuits.. I would highly recommend his law firm.
